ZINC: People with acne have 24% lower levels than those without acne. Zinc has been shown to Decrease Inflammatory Acne lesions by half over 3 months.

EVENING PRIMROSE OIL: Evening Primrose Oilcontains GLA, an essential fatty acid which plays a role in insulin absorption and has be shown to decrease inflammatory acne acne by almost half, & non-inflammatory acne by 20%. GLA is slightly more effective than Omega-3 & of course Evening Primrose Oil is vegan friendly.

GREEN TEA: Green tea reduces the sensitivity of skin to androgen hormones by blocking androgen receptors in the skin. It is also strongly anti-inflammatory & can dampen the inflammatory response to acne-causing bacteria. Clinical studies showed a 20% reduction in skin reddening after ingesting a daily supplement of 450 mg green tea extract.

PROBIOTICS: Studies show decreases in acne inflammatory lesion count by almost 40%, & decreases in total lesion & acne grade by around 1/5 over a 12 period when the patients consumed Lactobacillus probiotics.

Taking supplements isn't going to change your skin overnight - think more 90 days of consistent supplementation - and taking more than the RDA isn't going to speed things up either (it can cause you harm if you take over the RDA for a prolonged period) but the science is quite conclusive - making sure your body has everything it needs to fight acne formation is the first step to being acne free. Beauty starts within.
