TCM perspective on breakouts
What causes acne?
Accumulated heat in the Lung meridian (肺经郁热证)
In TCM, the lungs govern skin and hair health. Poor lifestyle habits can lead to imbalances in the lungs, trapping heat, diminishing its protective capabilities, and causes breakouts.
Stagnation due to heat-dampness and phlegm (湿热痰瘀证)
Stagnation of Qi and blood flow occurs due to dampness and phlegm, clogging pores and aggravating acne. Often contains other underlying factors, making it more complex to treat.
Innate heat and Yin deficiency (阴虚内热证)
Innate heat depletes Yin, drying the body and skin, increasing sensitivity. It also triggers heat in other organs, enlarging pores and causing inflammation.

4. When should I expect to see results?
Of course, everyone’s body condition is different and you may see results at a different pace.
For Cystic Acne: Generally, for simple cystic acne cases, it takes at least 1-3 months of regular intake of the acne capsules to see results. Following this, acne outbreaks should be minimal and kept in control.
For Hormonal Acne: Although you should see promising results by the 2nd week, we recommend continuing this product regularly (around 3 months) for the most effective result. This product works to regulate hormonal imbalances and one’s body constitution, reducing the frequency and severity of breakouts.
For both: After taking our acne products for 3 months, you may try to pause taking them for 1 month to see if your body has recalibrated well. If your acne starts coming back, feel free to continue using our acne products, we are here with you on your recalibration journey.
5. How is acne formed?
Pores on our skin are connected to oil glands through follicles. The oil glands produce sebum that carries dead skin cells through the follicles to the surface of the skin. If excess sebum is produced, it builds up under the skin and follicles get clogged with sebum, dead skin cells, hair, and even bacteria; to form a plug. As the bacteria multiplies, this causes infection and inflammation around the clogged pore, creating a pimple.
