What You Should Know About Resveratrol For Acne

I just read from DailyMail that you can beat acne by using red wine. This could open up new possibilities to treat acne.

Red wine contains resveratrol which is said to kill P. acnes bacteria. If you are using topical creams that contain benzoyl peroxide (BP), use red wine to increase the effectiveness of BP.

The research was performed by Dr Emma Taylor, of the University of California. According to her discovery, the effectiveness of BP could not last within 24 hours. Although resveratrol could not kill the bacteria but it could stop the bacteria from proliferating for longer time.

So, maybe you should combine benzoyl peroxide and red wine if you want longer killing power.
