Acnease
AcnEase is an all-natural acne treatment pill. The manufacturer makes a big deal of the Traditional Chinese Theory, and how their ingredients were derived from it.
An interesting story about how a product was developed is a good sales strategy, but we can’t know how truly effective Acnease will be until we look at the ingredients and consumer reviews.
Acnease Ingredients.
Fructus Gardeniae is one of the first ingredients named in their proprietary blend. The biggest news about this ingredient has been the potential for a new diabetes treatment based on it. However, there aren’t any studies with the effects on Acne. Despite the lack of tests on this particular ingredient there has been some speculation about the effect of Insulin and Insulin-like Growth Factor’s effect on Acne.
As yet however, there is little evidence to support this idea yet.Herba Houttuyniae also known as “Heartleaf, or Lizardtail” is another key ingredient with some clinical evidence available. A study was conducted testing the anti-microbial effects of certain medicinal plants against acne-inducing bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes).
The study showed that Houttuyniae required a much higher concentration to inhibit and kill the bacteria.Other ingredients include: Balsam Pear, Mustard Leaf, Dandelion, and Scierotium.
Consumer Reviews
Based on these subpar ingredients, we were interested in reading that most consumers liked Acnease. One said:
“I’ve used Acnease for a long time now. It doesn’t cure acne in my case but it does ease it a lot and with dietary changes such as cutting out sugar it has a big effect.”
Many agreed with this, saying that it was not a miracle cure, but it was safer and gentler on the skin than other products, and it did help.
Conclusion
This is a tough call, since the ingredients don’t give us much confidence in Acnease, but most consumers liked it. Overall, we would recommend finding something a little more affordable, but if you want to invest your money, don’t expect your acne to disappear.
