Botanical Cleanser:

This is basically a cleanser with herbs and botanicals added. None of the harsh and harmful ingredients you find in most cleansers for acne.

Topical Acne Gel:

The “unique” thing about this gel is that it doesn’t use benzoyl peroxide like most acne products, but rather it uses a combination of certified organic essential oil extracts including tea tree oil, lavender, lime and others to kill acne bacteria. The topical gel also employs other plant extracts to sooth and restores skin’s natural integrity, extract of cucumber and green tea are two such components.

Herbal Formulation:

This herbal formulation primarily uses Chinese herbs are some potent Western blood cleansing herbs such as burdock and dandelion. The capsules attack the root cause of acne working to cleanse, detoxify and relax the body. This not only helps heal current acne, it also helps to prevent future breakouts.

What’s surprising is that unlike so many of the natural acne treatments I’ve tested in the past, Zenmed’s Derma Cleanse system works much more effectively and for a much longer period of time

Green Tea Extract

Green Tea is widely consumed throughout North America. Some drink it for the taste and its soothing qualities, but the informed drink it mostly for health reasons. Chinese legend has it that an Emperor discovered it 4,000 years ago, and ever since Green Tea (which differs from black and oolong tea because it is not fermented) has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat depression, digestion problems, headaches, body aches, as well as to boost the immune system, aid in detoxification, energize and even prolong life. There have been many scientific studies showing the positive affects of green teat extract, including its ability to fight cancer causing free radicals, as it is rich in bioflavonoids and because it contains a potent antioxidant known as EGCG (which is over 200 times more powerful than vitamin E in neutralizing pro-oxidents and free radicals). Although Green Tea extract used topically will provide a number of benefits, we are primarily interested in its ability to restore cellular structure, revitalize and tone the skin.

Vitamin E

Acne Skin Care Treatments There are eight forms of Vitamin E. We use the most active form called tocopherol, which is a natural source of Vitamin E, providing a number of benefits to the skin. Vitamin E is a powerful biological antioxidant. It protects your skin against the effects of free radicals, which are potentially damaging bi- products of the body’s metabolism. Free radicals can cause cell damage that may contribute to cardiovascular disease and cancer. With a deficiency in Vitamin E you also run the risk of developing diseases such as, cystic fibrosis, pancreatitis, cholestasis and Alzheimer’s. Internally, the best sources for Vitamin E are vegetable oils, nuts and green leafy vegetables. We use it in this formula because it is vitally important in the fight against the continual process of body tissue deterioration.

Lavender Essential Oils

Herbal Acne Treatments Aromatherapy dates back to the beginning of known civilization. Aromatherapy is a skilled healing craft using the aroma and feeling of essential oils to induce relaxation and reduce stress, to increase energy and to maintain and promote physiological, psychological, and spiritual well being. The oils used are concentrated extracts which are distilled from aromatic plant material such as leaves, grasses, flowers, fruit peels, wood and roots. Lavender is one of the most popular and versatile of the essential oils. It is made from flower toppings found in France. Lavender has strong healing qualities and is known specifically for relaxing muscles throughout the body, calming the mind, healing burns and reducing scaring. It is rare in the way that it responds to the bodies needs, for example, although has soothing and calming qualities, it also has the ability to stimulate if needed. We use it in this formula because it is a powerful astringent and excellent skin conditioner.
