The Body Shop: Tea Tree Oil
I admit I was reluctant to buy this because firstly, at the store there were no instructions and secondly, I didn't think it would work for blemishes. But after buying it, I think it's safe for me to say that this stuff really works!
I have mild acne on my best days and moderate acne on my stressful days. My old skin care army consisted of Neutrogena's Pink Grapefruit Face Scrub and Biore's Triple Action Astrigent along with Clean and Clear's Brightening SPF 15 Lotion. After switching from drug store brands to the body shop, my complexion really has gotten clearer. I now use many of The Body Shop's Tea Tree products along with this. When I get pimples I simply put this on under my lotion and within 2 or 3 days, they are reduced significantly.
For $9, this is a bargain unless you tend to use things up really fast. But since it is oil, it is easy to spread. When I first put it on after deciding to buy it, I could really tell that it was soothing. It has this kind of menthol-y feel that makes me believe that it is already helping with my acne by soothing it first.
The only downside to this product is that the directions need to be somewhere on the bottle. You can find the instructions here at the Body Shop's Website:

Good luck in the fight against acne. ;)
