Treat your pesky acne from the inside out.
Curcumin
It has been suggested that the anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant compound found in Turmeric could have a positive effect on skin conditions — including acne.
Collagen
Although there is little evidence that taking Collagen for acne can improve symptoms, there is no doubt that Collagen can work wonders for the skin in general.
Vitamin D
Known as the "sunshine vitamin", anti-inflammatory Vitamin D has multiple benefits including supporting the immune system and for bone health — but can it be a useful vitamin for acne? The answer appears to be yes as shown in a 2014 study, where those with cystic acne showed considerably lower levels of Vitamin D than those in a control group.
Zinc
Vital for a healthy immune system, wound healing, fertility, and for strong vision, the mineral Zinc is an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant that may have positive effects on acne prone skin.
Vitamin B-Complex
Vitamin B vitamins are necessary for almost every process in the body and affect the health of our nails, hair, and importantly our skin. Vitamin B3 has also been suggested to help a number of skin conditions such as acne and rosacea and is often used in anti-ageing skincare products.
Probiotics
Acne can thrive when the bacteria living harmlessly on the skin become out of balance, so taking a Probiotic supplement for acne may be beneficial.
