Herbal Acne Medications

Posted on 12. Mar, 2009 by admin in Acne Treatments

There are over 45 million people in just the US, young and old, who suffer with acne. The majority of these people use medications with salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or antibiotics to treat their symptoms. Although many of these medications work, there are alternative herbal remedies that can do the trick as well.

Herbal medications have fewer side-effects, and are not as dangerous as prescriptions or topical ointments. They do not have to be clinically proven to work, or for that matter, even be safe. However, they are.

Any treatment with tea tree oil, originating from Australia, is just as effective as a benzoyl peroxide ointment, without the risk of sun sensitivity. Green tea cream is another herbal medication that works well against acne, and has even been shown to improve the appearance of acne scars.
