Research regarding Neem

Department of Microbiology, King George’s Medical College, Lucknow, India.

Findings:  Neem showed statistically significant effects in suppression of two important cells that cause inflammation and contribute to the cause of acne.  Suppression of these cells caused an anti-inflammatory response to occur. Which means that the use of Neem can help with acne outbreaks and reduce inflammation associated with it.

You can find Need in most health food markets or you can get an acne product that contains Neem such as  ZenMed’s Dermacleanse acne treatment.  Although results may vary, your acne probably won’t be cured by using it alone.  It is becoming increasingly popular to use Neem as a natural acne treatment solution. Used in conjunction with other natural acne remedies this treatment can go a long way in reducing your existing acne outbreaks and preventing new acne from forming.
