Although there are no studies to confirm the benefits of using garlic for acne, garlic does have some properties that can help treat acne. Here’s how garlic helps treat pimples:
1- Anti-microbial
This powerful, delicious ingredient is rich in antimicrobials. It contains compounds that hinder the growth of certain bacteria and fungi, which can help treat some conditions. These compounds may also be able to fight acne-causing bacteria, making garlic useful for pimples.
Studies have found that garlic’s antimicrobial properties are all due to a chemical known as allicin. Allicin is known to inhibit the growth of Streptococcus epidermidis, a type of acne-causing bacteria.
2- Anti-inflammatory
One factor that facilitates acne growth is inflammatory cytokines. To combat these inflammation-promoting molecules, garlic, which is rich in anti-inflammatories, can be used.
3- Helps heal wounds
When applied to the skin, garlic has wound-healing properties. It has been found that garlic helps treat skin diseases such as psoriasis, corns and fungal infections on the skin. It may also help prevent scarring that causes acne.
