Would Olive Oil Make More Acne ?

I heard olive oil helps remove acne scars and improves skin , but would olive oil make more acne. I am also taking other acne treatments such as an antibiotic, a face wash, and a gel. If olive oil does not make more acne should I use it.

All this depends on the type of skin you are having. If your skin is already oily and you move out in dust then more application of olive oil may not be the proper answer. It is true that it is used locally for many skin ailments and beauty products.
For acne herbal medicines offer good cure with blood purifying herbs. We recommend tab Radona 2 bd If the problem is acute more medicines can be added.
