Clove Oil is said to be effective in treating acne. Clove oil has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. Clove oil contains eugenol - a substance, which has antibacterial properties. Many people believe that clove oil can clear cystic acne, reducing swelling as it kills infection.

How to make a remedy with clove oil:

- Prepare a small bottle
- Add 1 table spoon of grapeseed oil or almond oil into the bottle
- Add 2 drops of clove oil into the bottle
- Mix them by shaking the bottle
- Apply it onto acne (do not on the entire face)

Do you own test by following the method:

- If you can see the improvement, and no damage on the skin, then continue using it.
- If your skin is sensitive to it, then stop using it.
- If there is no improvement and no damage on the skin, then add 2 more drops of clove oil to the bottle, and apply it to the affected spots. Continue this test until find the best dosage.

Please note, do not use pure clove oil onto your skin because it may burn your skin.
