Your skin can be your greatest enemy when it's breaking out. Treating acne and blemishes is especially tricky if your skin's easily agitated by new products, dry weather, or fluctuating hormones. Too many acne treatments contain chemicals and preservatives that irritate various skin types. Instead, choose organic products that effectively combat acne with natural ingredients like tea tree oil and willow bark extract. Here are seven of the most powerful organic acne treatments.
1.Alba Botanica Acnedote Maximum Strength
Amazon
Alba Botanica creates skincare to treat consistent acne, sporadic breakouts, or just the occasional blemish. The invisible gel has powerful anti-inflammatory properties with willow bark extract and 2% salicylic acid. All natural with no parabens, sulfates, phthalates, or artificial colors, the gel purports to clear skin in as little as 4 hours.
2. TreeActiv Acne Eliminating Face Cream
Amazon
Tea tree oil keeps this cream potent against all forms of acne. The essential oil is antibacterial and antifungal while it also cleanses, tones, and moisturizes. TreeActiv also uses jojoba and grapeseed oil to calm down inflammation and reduce redness while blemishes heal. This cream's lemongrass essential oil also works to promote cell turnover to tone skin and prevent scarring.
3. Essy's Acne Cream
Amazon
Essy uses natural ingredients like aloe, ginseng root, and witch hazel to dry out blemishes, reduce irritation, and soothe inflamed skin.
