Angelica sinensis oil shows effective anti-acne potential
We investigated whether Angelica sinensis essential oil could effectively treat acne by combining laboratory tests with animal studies. Using both in vitro antibacterial assays and a mouse acne model, we found that 5-10% concentrations of the oil demonstrated promising anti-acne activity. We identified the oil's active compounds through chemical analysis and mapped how they might work against acne at the molecular level, validating key targets through cellular experiments. The results suggest that Angelica sinensis essential oil represents a safer, more effective alternative to current topical acne treatments, addressing limitations of conventional therapies like antibiotic resistance.

Microneedle-delivered Angelica oil shows multifactorial acne efficacy
We investigated how Angelica sinensis essential oil, when delivered through specially designed microneedles, could treat acne. The microneedle formulation tackled a major challenge: Angelica oil's poor stability and skin penetration.

Our experiments showed impressive results. The microneedles killed the acne-causing bacteria effectively and reduced inflammation markers. Gene analysis revealed the treatment suppressed immune and inflammatory pathways driving acne.

Remarkably, we discovered Angelica oil also normalized sebum production—a key acne factor—by regulating fat-producing genes. This multifaceted approach targeting bacteria, inflammation, and oil production suggests the microneedle platform could become a safe, effective acne treatment option.

No more acne

I quit taking oral contraceptives after six months due to severe acne issues. My gynecologist advised me to continue the pills, but I was shocked and decided to try herbal treatment instead. I took LAPUSH and other herbs. I’m just thrilled! Acne hasn’t returned, and I urge everyone to try this. Initially sceptical, it turned out to be worth it! If you find my feedback useful, please write "Yes".

Acne is controlled

This product is fantastic! After taking it for 2.5 months, my period is regular and my acne is under control. My skin was a mess after quitting birth control, but after about a month on Dong Quai, I saw improvements. After 2.5 months, my face has cleared up significantly. I’m only taking two capsules daily, less than what the bottle recommends.

I genuinely love this herb. After stopping birth control due to side effects, it reduced my anxiety and regulated my cycles immediately. I believe it aids in treating acne and shortens my period. I’d recommend it to all women struggling with hormonal problems.

Since discontinuing my birth control at 26, I’ve begun taking these supplements based on positive feedback. I received my period on time and noticed it was lighter and shorter. Alongside evening primrose oil, this product has significantly improved my hormonal acne. I’m very pleased and plan to repurchase!

Cleared skin well

After stopping my birth control, I saw my skin condition worsen with acne. I began using this drug alongside lysine and was very pleased with the results—my back cleared, and my facial skin improved significantly. Plus, menstruation became painless, which previously was not the case.

Acne disappearance
I took this alongside lysine, and in no time, I cleared the acne on my face, which I hadn't been able to do before. This complex proved to be incredibly beneficial.
