Ingredients Used & Their Benefits

It also gives skin a cooling and soothing sensation which helps cool down angry red acne. Aloe vera gel is also good for reducing excess skin oiliness that promotes breakouts.
  • Tea Tree Essential Oil – Tea tree is a popular remedy for acne and pimples. What makes it so good for acne is that it has powerful disinfectant properties that fight off acne causing bacteria. Tea tree also has astringent properties that tighten large pores and reduce excess oils on skin.
