In 2015, a researcher from the School of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at The University of Western Australia, reviewed research studies performed on Tea Tree Oil from around the world. He concluded that Tea Tree Oil has been proven effective against acne and discussed how Tea Tree Oils Mode of Action in the skin to promote skin healing and its antibacterial properties. (8)

It was determined in a study of acne sufferers, that when lower levels of Vitamin E, Vitamin A, and Zinc found in the blood, there was a direct correlation to the severity of acne lesions among acne sufferers. (19)

In 2017, an acne study found that Vitamin E and Zinc supplemented, showed significant improvements in both mild and moderate Acne Vulgaris. (17)

In the Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, Volume 63. Researchers found that Vit E had proven ability, even after surgery, to prevent and help heal scarring of the skin after incisions. (18)

Grapeseed has powerful antimicrobial activity, and in this study from 2016 proves just how powerful Grapeseed Oil is against various microbes. (15)

2016 Grapeseed Oil is shown to speed of skin cell regeneration, and potential for healing scars. (16)

Study confirms, acne sufferers have less Zinc in their body. In fact, the levels of Zinc and Vitamin E were found to be significantly lower compared to non-acne sufferers. (19)

Multicenter study concludes that zinc gluconate was effective in the treatment of inflammatory acne. (48)

Study performed in 1977, 12 week acne study finds zinc reduces the number of acne lesions caused by acne causing bacteria. (49)
