Please be aware that the study of the therapeutic ramifications of taking any medication, including herbal supplements, is far from an exact science. Some sources, presumably in an effort to present an impression of providing responsible, guarded and cautionary advice, present a mountainous list of “possible” side effects, interactions and contraindications for which they neither quote, nor can we find, supporting evidence. Others simply steer clear of the subject..
Hopefully we have steered a middle course. Where there are well-established precautions to be observed we have pointed those out. Where sources make statements for which there is no supporting evidence we have not included such statements.
We value our reputation as a provider of reliable, high quality and non-sensational and non-alarmist information on the therapeutic value of herbs. That includes advice on adverse side effects and interactions with other medications where they is evidence to support such advice.
We strongly suggest that you seek professional advice on the use of herbal supplements if they are to be used to treat a specific condition, rather than as a dietary supplement taken to improve one's general feeling of wellbeing. If you do seek advice, please do so from someone who is qualified to advise on the therapeutic ramifications, good and bad, of using herbs for medicinal purposes. That would have to be a qualified herbalist or, ideally, an ND, a Doctor of Naturopathy, if you can locate one ( this link might help).Furthermore, we point out that statements regarding any products mentioned on this page have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration of the USA or the equivalent statutory authority of any other country.

Acne is the scourge of many teenagers, attacking them just at the age they want to look their best, but also can continue on or flare up in adult life. It can effect 80% of young people aged between 12 and 24 to varying degrees.
It is caused by the blocking, for reasons no one really seems to know, of hair follicles preventing sebum or oil which should be lubricating the skin getting out, and causing multiple infections, resulting in pimples and ugly blemishes, unfortunately mostly on the face. 
The causes can be hormonal, diet related, genetic, emotional; everybody has their own theory.
The good news is that help is available using simple herbal remedies for acne.
The products reviewed here, of the many on the market, are ones that have an established record of success using recognised herbs for acne and combinations of herbs that have been successfully used down through the ages such as tea tree oil, rooibos, aloe vera, , lavender, calendula, chamomile and bulbinella. 
Green tea extract is often included in acne and skin support supplements.
Of course most of those herbal remedies for acne have multiple therapeutic effects and you can learn more of those details by following the links to our herb database. These are all herbs that are used in the products described on this page, selected as typical examples of the many herbal supplements available on the market today that address acne and skin problems.
Almost every herb has some medicinal application, and there are many roots and herbs that are useful in treating acne. Herbs can be used to treat acne both internally and externally, and some combination of the two will be the most effective in clearing your skin.
Cleaver leaves and burdock leaves will help to clear acne when taken internally. To do this, crush the leaves and place them in an infuser, or a seeping ball (metal mesh ball used for infusing loose teas).
