What Tea Tree Oil does
An essential oil with modest evidence against mild acne. It works more slowly than benzoyl peroxide but causes less dryness. Undiluted it can irritate or sensitise skin, so it belongs in a formulated product.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use Hyaluronic Acid and Tea Tree Oil together?
Yes, it is safe. There is no known chemical conflict between Hyaluronic Acid and Tea Tree Oil, and neither makes the other less effective.
Which goes first, Hyaluronic Acid or Tea Tree Oil?
Apply Hyaluronic Acid first, then Tea Tree Oil. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.
Should I use Hyaluronic Acid in the morning or at night?
Hyaluronic Acid: works morning or night. Apply on slightly damp skin and seal with a moisturiser. In very dry air, skipping the seal can leave skin tighter.
Should I use Tea Tree Oil in the morning or at night?
Tea Tree Oil: works morning or night. Use a product with around 5% tea tree, or dilute it. Never apply the pure oil straight to the face. Patch test first.
Is Hyaluronic Acid with Tea Tree Oil safe during pregnancy?
Neither is a known risk in normal cosmetic amounts, but guidance varies for Tea Tree Oil. Check with your doctor.
