How chili peppers can reduce acne scars

I was surprised to find out recently that almost 60 million Americans suffer from acne and that 1/3 of these cases, or 20 million people end up with scarring due to the condition. The good news is that there are now many safe and natural products that reduce acne scars, including an amazing new treatment based on, among other things, pepper. Yes, that’s right, hot pepper-based face wash has been found to clear acne in just a few days of use and without the burning sensation or watery eyes, as you might expect from this fiery substance.

Unlike many natural remedies for severe acne that can take weeks or even months to have a noticeable effect, capsaicin-based products have an almost immediate impact on most forms of acne. Being a safe and natural product, most chili creams have few additives and harsh chemicals that make these products safer and more affordable. It is beneficial for you and your skin.

The active ingredient in these products is capsaicin, which has been shown to be very good at fighting the effects of acne. It works by creating a thermal reaction in the skin, opening the pores and increasing blood flow. It also has many powerful antimicrobial properties that fight the harmful bacteria that are one of the main causes of most acne.

Capsaicin also helps desensitize the skin and this in turn reduces the pain, swelling, and inflammation associated with acne. It is also very beneficial in treating circulatory problems. Of course, the best effect of these products is that by minimizing the time your acne stays, it ultimately helps reduce skin scarring. So if you’re one of the 20 million acne sufferers, you might be pleased to know that help is now available in the most unlikely of places: the chili pepper. Just don’t add it to your next meal now!
