Pineapple Refresh For Acne

Pineapple contains an anti- inflammatory enzyme called bromelain and fruit acids (mainly citric acid), which gently exfoliate the skin, unblock pores, and dry excess skin oil.

(A number of over-the-counter anti-acne products contain a type offruit acid called alpha-hydroxy acid.)

One study found that a commercially prepared fruit acid product, applied to the face every two weeks for six months, decreased the number of pimples.

Warning: Do not apply pineapple to your skin if you’re allergic to it. If you develop any redness or irritation, stop.
