We extend our gratitude to the contributor, “Youth Without Scars,” and the enthusiastic netizen (a needle and a blade of grass, QQ: 739462432). Acne poses a significant concern for many beauty-conscious individuals during adolescence. While bloodletting therapy is effective, for those who prefer not to undergo it, I offer two simple yet highly effective remedies that have cured numerous individuals with consistent success. Typically, results are visible the day after administration, with full effects manifesting within two to three days. Initially, the acne lesions will shrink and wither before disappearing completely. After 20-30 days of use, any residual acne marks will also vanish, leaving the skin fair and smooth. **Chuanbei Powder:** – Ingredients: 5 grams of Chuanbei (Fritillaria cirrhosa) powder and one teaspoon of pure honey. – Administration: Mix the two ingredients with water and take twice daily. – Efficacy: Rapid acne reduction and skin whitening. Additionally, there is a highly effective topical remedy: **Ginkgo Tincture:** – Ingredients: 150 grams of ginkgo nuts, crushed into coarse powder, and 500 milliliters of ethanol. – Preparation: Combine the ingredients in a bottle, seal, and let steep for 10 days to create the tincture. – Usage: Apply the tincture to the affected area 3-5 times daily. Complete resolution without scarring can be expected within 20-30 days. **Precautions:** 1. Avoid smoking, alcohol, chicken, lamb, chili, and other stimulating or heat-inducing foods during treatment. 2. Refrain from using any cosmetics during the treatment period. 3. Take Vitamin E daily as directed to aid in wound healing and prevent scarring. These two remedies, though simple in formulation, are potent and have been my go-to prescriptions for their remarkable efficacy. I now share them widely in the hope of benefiting more patients.
