  • Herbal treatment is good, safe and might work. It is always good to change the diet. A diet will help in reducing the formation of acne. Diet should be simple and rich in fruits and vegetables and less in oily foods. Herbal drug like Neem are very helpful in reducing the acne. It must be tried.

  • oh and i remember just one more, apply cucumber juice [squeeze cucumber so hard that its juice comes out]

    apply this green juice to your face, when it dries, apply another coat, when that dries apply another coat without washing.


    Do it before goign to bed.
    Put the left over mashed sqeezed out cucumber on the eye-lid and go to sleep


    wash in the morning
    it cools down your skin so much that the entire tendency of acne starts to diminish.

    I tried all these 3 and got rid of my acne :)

    Best of luck
