Acne Magazine

I’ve been really interested in theories that antioxidants in fairly high doses can benefit people with acne.  I began to get interested in this when I started reviewing a product called Acnezine, which is an herbal supplement which uses this as some of its basis for clearing acne naturally. 

It is essentially a potent antioxidant formula which helps to clear the skin by attacking free radicals which cause inflammation in the skin, among a host of other bad things that it does to the skin, including accelerated aging and wrinkle formation, aggravating acne and acne rosacea, and causing a generally bad complexion with little glow and bad tone. 

I had never really heard of using antioxidant therapy as a natural acne remedy, and this intrigued me, especially since antioxidants are touted as having a multitude of additional benefits besides just skin care, including heart and organ health, preventing diseases such as cancer and nerve related diseases, and many, many other health benefits too numerous to mention.  I read again about how high priced anti oxidant drinks such as Xango, which containg the potent juice of the mangosteen fruits, and other high antioxidant fruits such as noni juice and acai berry had shown promise in helping to clear acne.

I read several different places that antioxidant rich drinks and supplements, while they could not be solidly proven to help fight disease, did show that people with varying degrees of acne benefitted from them, and this cemented the belief that antioxidants in potent supplement form could definitely be of benefit.  For a review of the product we reviewed on this site that contains high antioxidant counts as a means to fight acne, see Acnezine review. 

If you’d like to read more about juices that contain high antioxidant counts, try mangosteen, acai and noni as a start.  Also, broccoli, tomatoes and several other foods rich in antioxidants can benefit the acne sufferer, so it is important to keep a lot of fruits and veggies in your fridge at all times.  Just another example of why we “are what we eat”.
