    I actually overdosed on the manuka honey, had loads of it! and the next day my skin looked much improved, so looks like it works internally.

    I have heard about this before. I always wondered, if it really works.

    I have used regular honey already, not Manuka honey. Right now I am using a homemade sugar facial scrub consisting of: vinegar, green tea, honey and sugar. It is supposed to also be very helpful to clear up acne and also reduce face scars. My skin is smoother so far...

    And what were the results of the the test in regards to peroxide and tea tree oil?

    Get Rid of Acne with Tea Tree Oil
    a to Manuka honey related product
    In contrary to Manuka honey there is evidence on the efficacy of Tea tree oil for acne. This report was published in an edition of the New Zealand Pharmacy of 1998.

    In vitro studies have shown this oil to destroy various types of bacteria among which the Propionibacterium acnes.

    Another study compared the topical application of 5% benzoyl peroxide, an accepted acne therapy product, with 5% tea tree oil.

    Thanks for sharing Chigger! You are right, there are studies showing tea tree oil to reduce acne lesions in people. In the last study you refer to the tea tree oil took longer to work than the benzoyl peroxide but there were fewer side effects with tea tree oil.

    Tea Tree Oil is also known as Melaleuca or Melaleuca alternifolia. It is a natural antibacterial disinfectant that has been used as a general antiseptic by aboriginal tribes for thousands of years. Science has confirmed the uses for about nourishing tea tree oil as it has tremendous medicinal properties and benefits. It is a light yellow oil that smells like nutmeg. Tea Tree Oil was originally ingested as a tea (hence “tea tree oil”) by the Native Peoples but is now produced by steaming the leaves and squeezing this essential oil out.
    Absorbable care tea oil should be a part of every home's emergency first aid kit. It is also wise to have tea tree oil in the car, cottage, and camping first aid kits. Unlike many essential oils, it is able to be directly applied to minor injuries once or twice per day. Green tea tree oil shampoo can also be used to invigorate the scalp and remove greasy residue off hair shaft.

    This is a good post. I was wondering about tea tree oil and manuka oil. They both smell similar and wondering if they are the same but I guess not. However I know tea tree oil is very effective for acne and other injuries. I also know honey is great for wounds and is a healer as well.

    I love manuka honey!! It's amazing stuff.... I used to have severe acne and I began using raw honey as my face wash. Only in the last few months did I decide to switch to manuka honey and I totally wish I had earlier!! It's amazing... unclogs all my pores and makes my skin look so beautiful. It's great to take internally too. I wrote an article about it here on my blog: http://www.thelovevitamin.com/?p=1248

    Well one thing more i like to add here that vitamin E included diet is much more efficient for fighting for acne. which i also wrote in my Surgical-Blog in which i talked about acne. Honey is also a great deal for acne.

    The only thing that I would watch out for is an allergic reaction (source: http://www.manukahoneybenefit.com). Manuka honey contains traces of pollen so there may be a reaction to it. To be on the safe side I would apply a small amount to test it first.

    Very informative and nicely done lens.
  • AdultAcneSystem Nov 1, 2010 @ 11:00 pm | delete
    Nothing but top quality information here, this is a well done lens, I have learned so much about honey and just didn't realize how specific one can go when building lenses... Is is great.

    Yes I have had honey and also use it for my acne fighting cocktail that I take every day, I just happen to use Raw Honey, and it works really well too.

    But I want use this Manuka Honey and taste in my cocktail, for those of you who would like to know more abut this cocktail its very simple.

    Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, Raw Honey, Filtered or distilled water, a great cocktail I drink it everyday 3 times a day.

    Thanks again, very useful lens. I appreciate your energy and time that you invested in building it, and sharing it with us.

    Definitely Liked, and favorite it myself.

    WOW! Never would have thought honey could help Acne? Great Lens
  • Beas Sep 29, 2010 @ 4:06 am | delete
    Thanks Ramonailona. It's not sure it helps, there are indications it might but unbiased, scientific evidence has yet to be found.
  • AdultAcneSystem Nov 1, 2010 @ 11:01 pm | delete
    Yes! Honey on its own is a very powerful and nutritious food, but when you start combining with other great acne fighting foods, its killer...
