The term 'fragrance' is not regulated in many countries. In many cases, it is up to the brand to define this term. For instance, many brands choose to label themselves as "fragrance-free" because they are not using synthetic fragrances. However, their products may still contain ingredients such as essential oils that are considered a fragrance.

This helped me cleared up some small spots during the initial stages. But after a few more use, it gave me more red acne bumps.. the smell of tea tree is so strong, it is pretty off-putting as well.
tricky method of using this one. only use it as needed on clean, dry, bare skin, and only on new pimple, let it stay for few hours or overnight. and when using it, I don't layer it with anything. using it too much would irritate the skin and as the other reviewer said, would give more bumps.
