Why is tea tree oils suitable for acne treatment?

Anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties

Tea tree oil has high concentration of terpinen-4-ol, a compound with anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. In animal tests, terpinen-4-ol was found to suppress inflammatory activity in cases of mouth infection. In humans, topically applied tea tree oil reduced swelling in histamine-induced skin inflammation more effectively than paraffin oil. In a study that compared 5 percent tea tree oil gel with 5 percent benzoyl peroxide lotion in treating cases of mild to moderate acne, both treatments significantly reduced the number of acne lesions. Although the tea oil worked more slowly, those using tea tree oil experienced fewer side effects.
