Coconut water good for acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get real Rx: "pop" remedies are adjuncts-only. If topical benzoyl peroxide has not cleared you in two weeks, get with your personal physician for prescription-strength treatment. The coconut-water idea isn't as silly as sleeping with your face smeared with honey, but it's even less likely to be helpful.
