Acne vulgaris...is physiological response to your harmones (androgens)... its not one time treatment... you need to maintain...depending on grade of acne vulgaris we will treat, higher the grading like 3 or 4 leads complications as well like post acne scarring & pigmenation.
So don't loose the hope otherwise you will landing up on the complications as i exlained above.
Regarding your questions :
we wont recommend teatree oil for local application on acne.
Yes there are few face wash with tea tree oil face wash which will be helpful.
But teatree oil face wash is not main treatment its supportive treatment for acne.
Hope you understand what I have explained you.
