Yum! This Chocolate Treats Acne

May 20, 2009

Oddly enough, an ingredient that has long been associated with causing acne (turns out it doesn't) is now being used to help alleviate the condition. I think I have died and gone to heaven. Frutels Acne Care in a Chocolate ($38 to $69) is a treatment that works from the inside out, using antioxidants and micronutrients sans artificial ingredients, preservatives, and chemicals to clarify the skin.

While I haven't tried the chocolate-coated sugar-free "candy," eating two to four a day supposedly provides results within two weeks. With the recent launch of Nestlé's Glowelle, along with this beauty water, it looks like the nutraceutical trend is here to stay. Now only if someone could invent an acne-reducing chocolate croissant.

Lush has a face mask that uses chocolate on your skin for acne.... you don't get to eat it, but it does smell lovely!

i think this is a horrible gimmick playing on the chocolate cravings of poor acne sufferers. it's outrageously expensive. why not just eat dark chocolate and a multi-vitamin? that's basically the ingredients anyway.
