Seven Folk Remedies for Treating Acne

Remedy 1: Ginkgo Nut Slices for Acne

Prepare an appropriate amount of ginkgo nuts and slice them. Before going to bed every day, wash your face with warm water, cleansing the acne-prone areas, but avoid using soap. Then, use the ginkgo nut slices to rub the acne-prone areas, cutting off the used portions with a knife and repeating the process 7-10 times. Use 1-2 ginkgo nuts each time.

Remedy 2: Chopped Leaves and Branches Mixture for Washing Acne

Prepare 50g of fresh cherry leaves and branches, 40g of fresh locust leaves and branches, and 2-3 fresh pig gallbladders. Chop the leaves and branches, boil them in water, and then add the pig gallbladders. Use an appropriate amount of the liquid to fumigate and wash acne-affected areas. Repeat 2-3 times daily, using 1 pig gallbladder each time.

Remedy 3: Sulfur Powder Application for Acne

Prepare an appropriate amount of sulfur and Chuanjun (a traditional Chinese medicinal ingredient), grind them into a fine powder, mix with water, and apply only to acne-prone areas. Repeat 2-3 times daily.

Remedy 4: Medicinal Liquid Application for Acne

Prepare 20ml of chloramphenicol injection and 50ml of 75% alcohol. Mix them to form a solution, then seal it. Wash acne-affected areas with warm water first, and then use a cotton swab to apply the medicinal liquid. Repeat three times daily.

Remedy 5: Garlic Juice Mixed with Water for Face Washing

Prepare an appropriate amount of garlic, crush it, and mix it with warm water to wash your face. This has a noticeable effect on acne treatment, but it may also cause side effects such as reduced skin oil and dryness. Therefore, pay attention to skin moisturization.

Remedy 6: Acne Injection Therapy

Acne injections are a type of steroid treatment, but they should be effective for sufficiently large acne cysts. After the injection, the acne will quickly reduce swelling and inflammation until the contents of the pustule are expelled. You can gently press the acne with a clean cotton swab to help drain all the tissue fluid inside, thereby completely resolving the acne.

Remedy 7: Vitamin E for Face Application to Remove Acne

Break open a Vitamin E soft capsule, mix the liquid with an appropriate amount of pearl powder and water to form a paste. Add a little boiling water to facilitate dissolution, then apply the paste mixture to your face. By consistently using it for a period of time, you can remove acne and brighten your skin.
