I do, however, think it's crucial to emphasize and re-emphasize that the free radical theories are indeed, as you point out, just that: theories. They are also enormously complex. I mention this only because so-called free radicals have taken on a whole new life of their own: specifically, along with "anti-oxidants" they've become the new darling of a million new-age quacks and organic food frauds -- http://blog.askmisspriss.com/?p=68 -- who propound their preposerous notions without the slightest regard for actual data, and who are able to get away with it precisely because the science behind free radicals is complicated and not well understood. A little learning is indeed a dangerous thing. Which is not directed toward The Beauty Brains, however, whose thoroughness is impeccable. Excellent post, as usual.

It seems to be working for my friend. He uses it almost every night, is that damaging? What about Hydrogen peroxide used for excema on hands? It seems to be working for my friend.

Tea tree oil is an antiseptic and antifungal, and is very effective against pimples. But a little goes a very long way! And I don't think it has the health issues associated with hydrogen peroxide.
