Acne help that is kind to your skin from Thursday Plantation, The Better Skin Co. and Neutrogena!

Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Essential Oil - 50ml - $19.99 - a natural acne treatment of 100% pure broad spectrum antiseptic naturally sourced and made in Australia. It's a simple to use acne treatment - just one drop on a q-tip and apply directly to the spot - you can also use it on cuts and scrapes!

My sister is picky about what she will put on her skin and swears by tea tree oil so that was enough for me to do some experimenting. The nice thing about it is not only can you use to straight from the bottle, but it's also great for mixing with other products to make your own acne products without the harsh ingredients. Add a drop to your cleanser for squeaky clean skin, to your toner to help clean out pores and to moisturizer for skin that feels fresh.

Or if you're not such a do-it-yourself-er there is a whole range of Thursday Plantation Tea Tree products including Tea Tree Face Wash Foam - 150ml - $14.99, Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Toner - 100ml - $12.99 and Tea Tree Face Cream - 65g - $15.99

Available mass, drug and grocery retailers across Canada including Walmart, Rexall and Loblaws as well as many health and natural stores and online at http://thursdayplantationcanada.ca.

Better Skin Zit No More - 7ml - $22 - a super strength, super-fast zit zapper in an easy to use rollerball. The formula contains salicylic acid along with three soothing essential oils: tea tree, rosehip and rosewood - so it dries out the zit, not the area around it - and is boosted with PhytoVie pollution defense to protect from environmental pollution - and is clear so it can be used day or night and layers seamlessly under makeup.

Available at Murale and select Shoppers Drug Mart Beauty Boutique stores across Canada and online at beautyboutique.ca.

Or if you want to avoid putting anything on your skin you can go the light therapy route:

Neutrogena Light Therapy Acne Spot Treatment - $37.99 - harnesses the power of red and blue light therapy to target and treat mild to moderate acne breakouts, reducing the appearance of breakouts without flaking, and the light is UV-free so no burning.

To use, just treat for two minutes, three times a day - it's small and portable so can easily travel with you for treatments on the go!

Available at drug and mass retailers across Canada.
