10 Home Remedies for Acne
Home Remedy #1: Aloe Vera
Aloe vera is a succulent plant that has both medicinal and culinary uses. Medicinally, it has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Used in patients with acne, it can help reduce acne breakouts and reduce the inflammation associated with acne. Since it contains a lot of water, it is also an excellent moisturizer and is especially suitable for those who experience dry skin after using various acne products.
A study in 2014 found that individuals with mild to moderate acne experienced significant improvement after using a combination of tretinoin cream and aloe vera gel for 8 weeks. Aloe vera gel is easily available from stores and online.
