HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR ACNE – DO THEY WORK?


                                          

On this site we only look at treatments which we honestly believe work. We get to this stage by a number of factors. Researching people who have had the treatment, official studies, and using good old-fashioned common sense. We want to make sure that you get the right treatment as soon as you can, and make sure you don’t take a treatment which wastes your time. So can homeopathic acne remedies work?

What is Homeopathy?

Much of the time people use certain treatments without fully understanding what the process does. We believe it’s important to at least know the basics of a treatment before you start it.

People who practice homeopathy believe the more a substance is diluted, the more powerful a medicine it is.
