Sweet Wormwood

The Acne-Fighting Hero Your Skin Needs

Sweet Wormwood has been cherished in East Asian medicine for over 2,000 years. Known as "Qinghao," it was once praised for treating ailments like malaria in ancient texts. But did you know it’s also a powerful solution for modern skincare concerns like acne? This ancient remedy is a modern superstar when it comes to keeping your skin clear, balanced, and irritation-free.

Here’s why your skin will love Sweet Wormwood: it controls oil, reduces inflammation, and supports your skin’s microbiome. The result? Healthier, clearer skin that feels refreshed and looks radiant.

Curious about the science behind it?

Targets Bad Bacteria, Supports the Good Ones: Sweet Wormwood helps balance your skin’s microbiome by fighting acne-causing bacteria (C. acnes) while letting the helpful ones (S. epidermidis) thrive. Less imbalance = fewer breakouts.

Inhibits Inflammatory Markers to Calm Acne and Irritation: It blocks inflammatory signals like IL-6 and IL-8 (yes, those cytokines behind redness and irritation), helping calm angry skin and reduce swelling and flare-ups.

Tames Oil Without Drying You Out: By acting directly on sebocytes (your skin’s oil-makers), it helps slow down excess sebum production—so you stay less greasy, less clogged, and way more in control.
