Milder acne is easier to cure at home. Expert treatment is typically needed in difficult situations, particularly cysts or nodules.

Home Remedies for Treating Acne

1. Make use of apple cider vinegar as a natural disinfectant

  • Fermenting unfiltered apple juice yields apple cider vinegar.

  • Like other vinegar, it may kill germs.

  • Citric acid is in apple cider vinegar. Citric acid and zinc oxide destroy P. acnes, according to 2016Trusted Source.

  • A 2017 study shows apple cider vinegar's lactic acid may reduce acne scars.

Apple cider vinegar may improve acne, but no data supports this. Dermatologists warn that apple cider vinegar might irritate the skin.

  • One part ACV, three parts water (use more water for sensitive skin).

  • Cotton ball the mixture on after cleaning.

  • Rinse and dry after 5-20 seconds.

  • As required, repeat daily.

2. Take a zinc supplement

  • Zinc aids cell development, hormone synthesis, metabolism, and immunological function.

  • Compared to other acne treatments, it's well-studied.

  • According to a 2020 meta-analysis: Zinc-treated patients exhibited fewer irritated blemishes than others.

  • It's better not to exceed 40 mg of zinc daily unless under a doctor's supervision.

  • Zinc overdose causes stomach discomfort and gut inflammation.

  • Zinc on the skin is similarly ineffective. The skin may not absorb zinc well.

3. Honey and cinnamon mask

  • Honey and cinnamon bark extract fought P. acnes, according to a 2017 research.

  • Honey alone can kill P. acnes, according to 2020 research. This doesn't imply honey cures acne.

  • A 2016 research with 136 acne patients indicated that using honey after antibacterial soap did not improve acne treatment.

  • Honey and cinnamon may decrease acne, but further study is required.

How to make a paste using honey and cinnamon?

  • After cleaning, apply the mask for 10 to 15 minutes.

  • Rinse and dry the mask.

4. Tea tree oil for spots

  • Tea tree oil is derived from the Australian species Melaleuca alternifolia.

  • According to a report published in 2018: Tea tree oil(tea tree kit) may reduce acne, says Trusted Source.

  • Minor research conducted in January 2019: tea tree for acne users noticed less dry skin and irritation than benzoyl peroxide users. They were happier with therapy.

  • A 2017 research found this to be the case: According to Trusted Source, tea tree oil for acne may replace topical and oral medications that might promote bacterial resistance.

  • Always dilute tea tree oil before using it on your skin.

How to mix tea tree oil with water?

  • Apply the mixture using a cotton swab.

  • If desired, moisturize.

  • As required, repeat daily.

5. Apply green tea to your skin

  • Green tea's antioxidants boost health. It reduces acne.

  • According to a study conducted in 2017: Green tea's polyphenols help prevent acne-causing germs and inflammation, according to Trusted Source.

  • Green tea may help acne, but further study is required.

  • Eighty women got 1,500 mg of green tea extract daily for four weeks in a 2016 research. After taking the section, ladies experienced reduced acne on their noses, chins, and lips.

  • Green tea may also benefit the skin.

  • In 2020, research will be conducted: Green tea extract decreases acne sebum and pimples, according to Trusted Source.

It's simple to produce your green tea cream or lotion at home:

  • Boil green tea for 3 to 4 minutes.

  • Cool tea.

  • Apply the tea with a cotton ball or a spray bottle.

  • Let it dry, then rinse and pat dry.

  • You may also build a mask using honey and tea leaves.
