Do tomatoes help treat acne?

Question

I'm a teen and I've had acne basically all my life. I've done research on homemade acne treatments and the word "tomatoes" caught my eye. So my question is, if I constantly rub tomatoes all over my face, will I become some kind of tomato man???

Answer 5

There is no evidence that tomatoes will help to treat acne.  Tomatoes are acidic, which can create an environment unsuited to bacteria, but they are not a magic bullet for acne treatment and prevention.  

I would not rely on homemade treatments.  While many acne treatments have natural sources (for example, salicylic acid comes from willow tree bark, and sulfur is a natural element, and azelaic acie is an extract of wheat -- and even Accutane is a derivative of Vitamin A), the concentrations of these found in foods and natural/organic products are commonly just not high enough to be therapeutic and effective.  

Don't reject acne treatments sold in stores just because they aren't "natural".  Many of the drugs sold as "modern medicine" have their foundations in plants and botany -- they just require concentration and preparation by scientists to be effective.
