Thyme cream for acne

Has anyone used thyme cream for acne? I've used benzoyl peroxide in the past with some success but would like to try a natural product if possible. A seller online claims thyme cream is as effective as BP

I haven't tried it OP but would be v. grateful if you could let me know how you get on with it Smile my skin is awful so I'm always looking for something new to try!

I'm 32 and can't believe there is always at least one spot on my face - ridiculous! Usually a crop of them. I will definitely report back :-)

I feel your pain - mine are all over the place. But (apparently) having acne reduces wrinkles later on & firms up your skin; which I think we bloody deserve!

Lab research from last year, I can't find anything more recent than that. I'd wait till it became commercially available through one if the known retailers.

Off the subject of thyme cream but have you tried avene skincare (online or from bigger Boots stores). Started using a month ago and it's really cleared my skin up. The Cleanance range (cleansing gel and enulsion as a moisturiser) is brilliant.
