Researchers from South Korea report that red ginseng (Panax ginseng) can be used as a natural treatment for acne. In their study, which was published in the journal Phytotherapy Research, they identified the active ingredients of red ginseng, compared its antimicrobial effects to other substances, and determined its potential efficacy as a natural treatment product.
In conclusion, these findings suggest that red ginseng extract can effectively improve the symptoms of acne due to its panaxynol and panaxydol contents.
