Ginseng cured me. Ginsenocides and nitric oxide are apparently what helps. I found many links when I googled "ginseng curing acne".

I am an asian 35 year old male that has suffered from cyst like acne along my chin and sometimes my cheeks and nose area for a long time. It actually started after my highschool years and it started to get bad in my early 20's. I would usually have atleast 1 on my face at all times. A few monthes ago I ordered a korean ginseng extract and oil from amazon after doing some research on things to help me stay active and energized throughout the day. I was unaware that it would actually help my acne better than anything i have ever tried.

I tried switching up my cleansers, I used different cleansers with different amounts of benzoyl peroxides. I tried proactive. I tried to stick with a product for atleast a year before i switched to anything else.

I tried different diets. I ate salads everyday and that helped. I stayed away from all cheese and greasy foods and that helped. I havent had milk or anything dairy in years.

I tried home rememdies. I tried using seasalt on my skin and that helped.

Visits to the dermatologist helped slightly when i would getsteroid injections on areas around my chin.

Even after trying all these things i would still get cyst like pimples around my mouth area.

Hardly any pimples at all since i have been taking this ginseng extract. i mix 1/3rd(1scoop)of the daily dosage into hot water every morning instead of drinking coffee. I've eaten pizzas, greasy chicken wings. fried foods, burgers, stuff with CHEESE. No pimples. I'm going to try cereal and yogurt soon. I still eat salads all the time. I still use a facial cleanser 2 times a day. I still use a seasalt solution sometimes. I have had 2 cyst like pimples in the last 3 monthes and both of them went away quickly. They didnt even bother me.

I've done so much research online about all these prescription creams and different treatments and never have I seen anyone say to try ginseng. Do research on ginseng and its effect on acne. Ginseng has cured my acne so far and I'm hoping to help other people with this information the way I wish I was helped years ago.
