Supplements and spot treatments may help prevent acne and help heal pimples. Certain dietary changes may
also help.

Acne is one of the most common skin conditions in the world, affecting an estimated 85 percent of young adults.

Conventional acne treatments, like salicylic acid, niacinamide, or benzoyl peroxide, are proven to be the most
effective acne solutions, but they can be expensive and have undesirable side effects, such as dryness,
redness, and irritation.

This has prompted many people to try to cure acne naturally at home. In fact, a 2017 study found that 77
percent of acne patients had tried alternative acne treatments.

Many home remedies lack scientific backing, and further research on their effectiveness is needed. If you’re
looking for alternative treatments, though, there are still options you can try.

This article explores 14 popular home remedies for acne.

What is acne?
Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your skin follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells. It’s a
very common condition, and most people have experienced acne in their lifetime, especially during their teen
years as their sebaceous glands produce more oil.

However, there’s no age limit to acne and many people in their 40s and 50s have adult acne.

What causes acne?

Acne starts when the pores in your skin get clogged with oil and dead skin cells.

Each pore is connected to a sebaceous gland, which produces an oily substance called sebum. Extra sebum
can plug pores, causing increased growth of bacteria known as Propionibacterium acnes, or P. acnes.

Your white blood cells attack P. acnes, leading to skin inflammation and acne. Some cases of acne are more
severe than others, but common symptoms include whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples.

Many factors may contribute to the development of acne, including:

2/13
 genetics
diet
stress
hormone changes
infections

Standard clinical treatments are the most effective for reducing acne. You can also try home treatments, though
more research on their effectiveness is needed. Below are 14 home remedies for acne.

Apply apple cider vinegar

Pros: affordable, easy to find, improves the appearance of acne scars
Cons: may irritate the skin

Apple cider vinegar is made by fermenting apple cider, or the unfiltered juice from pressed apples.

Like other vinegars, research has noted its ability to fight many types of bacteria and fungi.

Apple cider vinegar contains organic acids, such as citric acid. Research from 2016 notes citric acid has been
found to kill P. acnes in conjunction with zinc oxide.

According to research from 2017, the lactic acid in apple cider vinegar may also improve the appearance of
acne scars.

While certain components of apple cider vinegar may help with acne, there’s currently no evidence to support its
use for this purpose. Some dermatologists advise against using apple cider vinegar at all, as it may irritate the
skin.

How to
1. Mix 1 part apple cider vinegar and 3 parts water (use more water for sensitive skin).
2. After cleansing, gently apply the mixture to the skin using a cotton ball.
3. Let it sit for 5 to 20 seconds, rinse with water and pat dry.
4. Repeat this process 1 to 2 times per day, as needed.

It’s important to note that applying apple cider vinegar to your skin can cause burns and irritation, and most
dermatologists wouldn’t recommend it. If you choose to try it, use it in small amounts and dilute it with water.

Applying apple cider vinegar to the skin may cause burns or irritation, so it should
be used carefully. Always do a patch test before you use it on your face.

Take a zinc supplement

Pros: supported by scientific studies, wide variety of benefits
Cons: can irritate the stomach or gut, not beneficial when applied topically

Zinc is an essential nutrient that’s important for cell growth, hormone production, metabolism, and immune
function.

It’s relatively well studied compared with other natural treatments for acne.

According to a 2020 meta-analysis, those who were treated with zinc had significant improvements in inflamed
blemish count compared with those who were not.

The recommended safe upper limit of zinc is 40 mg per day, so it’s probably best to not exceed that amount
unless you’re under the supervision of a medical doctor.

3/13
Taking too much zinc may cause adverse effects, including stomach pain and gut irritation.

It’s also important to note that applying zinc to the skin has not been shown to be effective. This may be
because zinc is not effectively absorbed through the skin.

Make a honey and cinnamon mask

Pros: antibacterial, easy to make
Cons: not enough research to back up the claims

A 2017 study found that the combination of honey and cinnamon bark extract exerted antibacterial effects
against P. acnes.

Research from 2020 indicated that honey on its own can block the growth of or kill P. acnes. Although, this
finding doesn’t necessarily mean that honey effectively treats acne.

A 2016 study with 136 people with acne found that applying honey to the skin after using antibacterial soap was
no more effective at treating acne than using the soap on its own.

While the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties of honey and cinnamon may reduce acne, more
research is needed.

How to
1. Mix 2 tablespoons of honey and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to form a paste.
2. After cleansing, apply the mask to your face and leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes.
3. Rinse the mask off completely and pat your face dry.

Cinnamon may cause skin irritation. Always do a patch test before you apply it to
your skin.

Spot treat with tea tree oil

Pros: don’t need a lot of product, can be left on overnight, natural
Cons: drying, essential oils aren’t FDA approved

Tea tree oil is an essential oil that’s extracted from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia, a small tree native to
Australia.

A 2018 study found that applying tea tree oil to the skin may reduce acne.

A small 2019 study found that, compared with benzoyl peroxide, participants using a tea tree oil ointment for
acne experienced less dry skin and irritation. They also felt more satisfied with the treatment.

According to a 2017 study, tea tree oil may be an effective substitute for topical and oral antibiotics that could
cause bacterial resistance if used long term.

Tea tree oil is very potent, so always dilute it before applying it to your skin.

How to
1. Mix 1 part tea tree oil with 9 parts water.
2. Dip a cotton swab into the mixture and apply it to the affected areas.
3. Apply moisturizer if desired.
4. Repeat this process 1 to 2 times per day, as needed.

4/13
 While research suggests there are health benefits, the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) doesn’t monitor or regulate the purity or quality of essential
oils. It’s important to talk with a healthcare professional before you begin using
essential oils and be sure to research the quality of a brand’s products. Always do a
patch test before trying a new essential oil and dilute any essential oil with a carrier
oil so it doesn’t burn your skin.

Apply green tea to your skin

Pros: easy to make, a variety of benefits, natural
Cons: not enough studies done

Green tea is very high in antioxidants, and drinking it can promote good health. It may also help reduce acne.

According to 2017 research, this is likely because the polyphenols in green tea help fight bacteria and reduce
inflammation, which are two main causes of acne.

There isn’t much research exploring the benefits of drinking green tea when it comes to acne, and more studies
are needed.

In a small 2016 study with 80 women, participants took 1,500 mg of green tea extract daily for 4 weeks. By the
end of the study, women who took the extract had less acne on their noses, chins, and around their mouths.

Applying green tea to the skin may also be beneficial.

A 2020 study found that applying green tea extract to the skin significantly reduces sebum production and
pimples in those with acne.

You can buy creams and lotions that contain green tea, but it’s just as easy to make your own mixture at home.

How to
1. Steep green tea in boiling water for 3 to 4 minutes.
2. Allow the brewed tea to cool.
3. Using a cotton ball, apply the tea to your skin or pour it into a spray bottle to spritz it on.
4. Allow it to dry, then rinse it off with water and pat your skin dry.

You can also add the remaining tea leaves to honey and make a mask.

Apply witch hazel

Pros: natural, found in many products
Cons: very little research to back up the claims

Witch hazel is extracted from the bark and leaves of the North American witch hazel shrub, Hamamelis
virginiana. Currently, there appears to be very little research on witch hazel’s ability to treat acne specifically.

In one small 2017 study funded by a skin care company, 30 individuals with mild or moderate acne used a
three-step facial treatment twice daily for 6 weeks.

Witch hazel was one of the ingredients in the second step of the treatment. Most participants experienced
significant improvement in their acne by the end of the study.

Research from 2019 also suggested witch hazel may fight bacteria and reduce skin irritation and inflammation,
which can contribute to acne.

5/13
How to
1. Combine 1 tablespoon of witch hazel bark and 1 cup of water in a small saucepan.
2. Soak the witch hazel for 30 minutes and then bring the mixture to a boil on the stove.
3. Reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, for 10 minutes.
4. Remove the mixture from the heat and let it sit for an additional 10 minutes.
5. Strain and store the liquid in a sealed container.
6. Apply to clean skin using a cotton ball 1 to 2 times per day, or as desired.

It’s important to note that commercially prepared versions may not contain tannins, as they are often lost in the
distillation process.

Moisturize with aloe vera

Pros: natural, found in many products, can be combined with other ingredients
Cons: not a lot of studies to back up the claims, many products contain additives

Aloe vera is a tropical plant whose leaves produce a clear gel. The gel is often added to lotions, creams,
ointments, and soaps.

According to 2018 research, it’s commonly used to treat:

abrasions
rashes
burns
wounds
skin inflammation

Aloe vera contains salicylic acid and sulfur, both of which are used extensively in the treatment of acne.
Research from 2017 found that applying salicylic acid to the skin reduces acne.

A 2018 study indicated aloe vera gel, when combined with other substances like tretinoin cream or tea tree oil,
may improve acne.

While research shows promise, the anti-acne benefits of aloe vera itself require further scientific research.

How to
1. Scrape the gel from the aloe plant with a spoon.
2. Apply the gel directly to clean skin as a moisturizer.
3. Repeat 1 to 2 times per day, or as desired.

You can also buy aloe vera gel from the store, but make sure it’s pure aloe without any added ingredients.

Take a fish oil supplement

Pros: easy, found in food
Cons: takes some time to see results

Omega-3 fatty acids are healthy fats that offer a multitude of health benefits. Fish oils contain two main types of
omega-3 fatty acids: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

A 2019 study showed that high levels of EPA and DHA can decrease inflammatory factors, which may reduce
the risk of acne.

You can also get omega-3 fatty acids by eating:

6/13
 salmon
sardines
anchovies
walnuts
chia seeds
ground flax seeds
fish oil supplements

Exfoliate regularly
Pros: easy to do at home, many products on the market, both chemical and physical options available
Cons: possibility to over-exfoliate

Exfoliation is the process of removing the top layer of dead skin cells. It may improve acne by removing the skin
cells that clog pores.

Exfoliating may also make acne treatments for the skin more effective by allowing them to penetrate deeper,
once the topmost layer of skin is removed.

Currently, the research on exfoliation and its ability to treat acne is limited.

In one small 2016 study, 38 patients with acne received eight microdermabrasion treatments at weekly intervals.
The participants with acne scars showed some improvements following the treatments.

A small 2017 study found that six weekly microdermabrasion treatments helped stimulate skin repair.

While these results indicate exfoliation may improve skin health and appearance, more research is needed on
acne.

There are a wide variety of exfoliation products available, but you can also make a scrub at home using sugar or
salt.

Note that physical exfoliation can be irritating and may damage the skin. As such, some dermatologists
recommend gentle chemical exfoliation with salicylic or glycolic-acid products.

If you choose to try mechanical exfoliation, gently rub your skin to avoid damaging it.

Try Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant.

How to
1. Mix equal parts sugar (or salt) and coconut oil.
2. Gently rub your skin with the mixture and rinse well.
3. Exfoliate as often as desired, up to once daily.

Follow a low glycemic diet

Pros: reduces insulin, good for the body
Cons: harder to track, not enough studies to back up the claims

A food’s glycemic index (GI) is a measure of how quickly it raises your blood sugar.

Eating high GI foods causes a spike in insulin, which likely increases sebum production. As a result, high GI
foods may directly affect the development and severity of acne.

7/13
In a 2018 study, 66 people followed either a normal or low glycemic diet. After 2 weeks, the individuals
consuming a low glycemic diet had lower levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), a hormone involved in
acne development.

Another 2017 study with 64 people found that those with moderate or severe acne ate diets with more
carbohydrates and a higher glycemic load than those without acne.

These small studies suggested a low glycemic diet may help those with acne-prone skin. Additional larger,
longer studies are needed.

Foods with a high glycemic index include processed foods, such as:

white bread
sugary soft drinks
cakes
doughnuts
pastries
candies
sugary breakfast cereals

Foods with a low glycemic index include:

fruits
vegetables
legumes
nuts
whole or minimally processed grains

Cut back on dairy

Pros: can reduce acne
Cons: controversial, needs more research

The relationship between dairy and acne is highly controversial.

A 2019 study with people ages 10 to 24 found that drinking whole milk three or more days each week was linked
to moderate or severe acne.

In a 2018 study including 114 participants, those with acne were found to drink significantly more milk than
people who didn’t have acne.

On the other hand, another 2018 study involving over 20,000 adults found no association between milk
consumption and acne.

Participants self-reported the data in these studies, so more research is needed to establish a true causal
relationship.

The relationship between milk and acne needs further study.

Reduce stress
Pros: can reduce acne, good for the body
Cons: needs more research

The link between stress and acne is not fully understood.

8/13
When you’re stressed, you might also be more likely to pick at spots on your face. Touching or picking your skin
more than necessary can increase acne by spreading bacteria.

According to 2017 research, the hormones released during periods of stress may increase sebum production
and inflammation, making acne worse.

A 2018 study noted that certain relaxation and stress reduction treatments may improve acne, but more
research needs to be done.

How to
get more sleep
engage in physical activity
practice yoga
meditate
take deep breaths

Exercise regularly
Pros: can reduce acne, good for the body, regulates hormones
Cons: not washing your face after exercising could lead to more acne

There’s little research on the effects of exercise on acne. Still, exercise affects bodily functions in ways that may
help improve acne.

A 2018 study noted that exercise also plays a role in hormone levels and regulation.

Another 2018 study suggested exercise can decrease stress and anxiety, both of which can contribute to the
development of acne.

The CDC recommends adults do two types of physical activity each week for a total of 150 minutes. This can
include walking, hiking, running, and lifting weights.

If you’re exercising outside, always protect your skin from ultraviolet (UV) rays with a broad spectrum sunscreen
with at least SPF 30.

Remember: Always wash your face after exercising. Washing with water and a
cleanser will remove sweat and bacteria to prevent breakouts.

Try brewer’s yeast

Pros: can take orally or topically, easy to find
Cons: takes a few months to work

Brewer’s or baker’s yeast is another option that may have benefits for fighting acne.

According to a 2021 publication, a strain of brewer’s yeast called Hansen CBS may help decrease acne when
taken orally.

A much older 1989 study of 139 people with acne showed that 80 percent of those using Hansen CBS brewer’s
yeast were healed or considerably improved over a 5-month period, while a placebo group showed only a 26
percent improvement.

At the same time, most recent research shows that a brewer’s yeast elimination diet is helpful for another skin
condition called hidradenitis suppurativa.

9/13
With these conflicting findings and limited research, more studies are needed to confirm the role of brewer’s
yeast in the treatment of acne.

How to
1. Mix one packet of powdered brewer’s yeast with 1 tbsp lemon juice.
2. Blend thoroughly.
3. Add mixture to a clean face and leave for 1 minute.
4. Rinse with lukewarm water.
5. Pat dry.

You can also incorporate brewer’s yeast into your diet by mixing it with juice or water, or you can take it in
supplement form.

Use caution when applying any citrus juice, including lemon, to your skin. It can
cause photosensitivity that can lead to irritation and rash if exposed to sunlight.

Be sure to apply extra SPF, and wear a hat or scarf to protect your skin if you’re
exposed to the sun.

How to prevent acne

While there’s no completely foolproof way to get rid of acne forever, there are habits you can add to your routine
that may help keep breakouts at bay. Here are some ideas:

Wash your face properly: To help prevent pimples, it’s important to remove excess oil, dirt, and sweat
daily.
Use a moisturizer: Even if you have acne, keeping your skin hydrated is essential. When skin is dry, it
produces oil to counterbalance, which may result in excess sebum and clogged pores.
Limit makeup: Using a lot of makeup may clog pores and trigger breakouts. If you do use makeup,
make sure it’s noncomedogenic and fragrance-free to prevent skin irritation. Always wash makeup off,
especially before bedtime.
Resist touching your face: Touching your face can transfer bacteria — and pore-clogging impurities —
onto your skin.
Limit sun exposure: Frequent sun exposure dehydrates the skin, which, over time, causes it to produce
more oil and block pores.
Don’t pop pimples: Popping pimples may cause bleeding, severe scarring, or infection. It may also
increase inflammation and clog surrounding pores, making your pimple problem worse.

When to see a doctor

People with moderate to severe acne should seek professional help to find relief. Prescription-strength acne
treatments are available.

It may be time to seek professional help from a dermatologist if you:

tried everything and nothing seems to help

have recurring breakouts that clear up and return
get acne in places like your thighs or upper arms
have acne that’s painful and deep under the skin
have breakouts that have been going on for years
have acne that affects your confidence, self-esteem, and social life
think your acne may be linked to a new medication you’re on
have acne that leaves dark spots

10/13
Even if you have a mild case of acne, it may be helpful to visit a doctor regularly to see how your skin
progresses with treatment.

Frequently asked questions

Are home remedies for acne effective?

Many people choose to try natural remedies. Most home remedies for acne have not been shown to be clinically
effective, but they’re available as alternative treatment options.

Nevertheless, you may want to consult a dermatologist if you have severe acne.

How fast do home treatments for acne work?

Give an acne treatment at least 4 weeks to work. Using a different product every few days can also irritate your
skin, causing new breakouts.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, if a treatment works for you, you should notice some
improvement in 4 to 6 weeks.

How do you get rid of acne scars?

Acne scars don’t go away on their own. But in-office procedures, like lasers, micro-needling,
microdermabrasion, resurfacing, or fillers, can help improve their appearance.

Regular exfoliation and home remedies, like apple cider vinegar, can also reduce the appearance of acne scars.

The bottom line

Acne is a common skin condition with a number of underlying causes.

Experts agree that conventional treatments, like salicylic acid, niacinamide, or benzoyl peroxide, are the most
effective, though some people may find them irritating.

Many people choose to try natural remedies. Most home remedies for acne have not been shown to be clinically
