The famous manuka honey derives from the flowers of the manuka tree. The aromatic oil, however, comes from the leaves and twigs from the manuka tree. In the essential oil kingdom, manuka essential oil has the highest anti-bacterial and anti-microbial factors amongst all the other botanicals. This is extremely important for the product as acne is caused by an overgrowth of a bacteria known as Cutibacterium Acnes. With the presence of manuka oil, we can easily eliminate the root cause.
What to expect
Pimples will either stop developing, or it may be quicker to "ripen". Dark existing acne scar marks will lighten quicker over time, and existing acne pimples will not cause scars. This portion will show pretty fast results.
Our skin cells take between 28 to 35 days to fully renew itself; therefore lightening of acne marks will take some time to show results.
- After cleansing and toning, use 1-3 drops and massage over affected acne areas and scars/pigmentation. Always remember, less is more. Do not need to overcoat skin with the oil as that might do more harm than good. Skin needs to breathe too!
- Use whenever you need, preferably on clean skin for optimal results.
- For severe acne skin type, you may use this product several times a day.
- Can be used on body acne.
- Suitable for body wound and scar healing.
Some individuals do get an allergy reaction from using tamanu oil. Otherwise, this blend is generally non-sensitizing and non-irritant.
