Does applying turmeric paste prove effective in acne?

Doubtful: Might smell good though.

Helpful for many: I don't believe it's been technically "proven effective" as no formal research has been done, but many acne sufferers use it & report great success. This makes sense as it's a powerful anti-inflammatory agent with antibacterial properties as well. It might work even better combined with a bit of neem oil. Consider oral turmeric as well.

Turmeric: Turmeric (curcuma longa) has been used for 4, 000 years to treat a variety of conditions. Studies show that turmeric may help fight infections and some cancers, reduce inflammation, and treat digestive problems, and it has gotten a lot of press lately. It is worth a try.
