Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Acne Herbal Medicine
Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Acne Prescription, Taken with Health in Mind
01. Characteristics of Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Acne Herbal Medicine
1) It is relatively easy to take.
Generally, for severe acne symptoms, dermatologists may
- recommend antibiotics (Minocycline, Doxycycline, etc.) or
- prescribe sebum regulators (Isotretinoin-based).
These treatments can certainly be expected to be effective. However, these medications, because they affect not only the skin but also the entire body, may lead to problems such as dryness, gastrointestinal discomfort, changes in liver enzyme levels, and alterations in the balance of intestinal bacteria.
In particular, Isotretinoin (Isotretinoin)-based drugs have various side effects reported, including risks of birth defects, joint pain due to reduced joint fluid, and worsening depression. Therefore, their use for moderate or less severe acne should be carefully considered, and even when necessary, they must be taken under regular supervision by medical professionals.
In contrast, the acne herbal medicine based on Sipmi-paedoksan used at Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic is based on a prescription that has rarely reported significant side effects even after long-term use (prolonged intake) in Korean traditional medicine and Japanese clinical practice.
Of course, it can also help improve acne.
In other words,
- This herbal medicine does not affect beneficial bacteria like antibiotics,
- nor does it excessively suppress sebum secretion like Isotretretinoin,
- and is designed in a way that reduces the burden on liver function.
Many people ask, "Won't herbal medicine also burden the liver?" However, the risk of liver toxicity has actually been reported to be higher with Isotretinoin and some antibiotics. Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's prescription is designed to provide a relatively greater safety margin compared to these drugs.
2) Reasonable Accessibility
"Aren't herbal medicines expensive?" is a common concern.
Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's acne herbal medicine was formulated by focusing on a single goal: acne improvement. Therefore, by not using unnecessarily expensive ingredients, we reduced the price burden.
As a result,
- Thus, based on one month's dosage, it offers a price range that allows you to try it without much burden, and
- as needed, it is designed to allow consideration of taking it in 10-day increments.
- it is designed.
This can be seen as a cost that allows for convenient access and start without much hesitation.
3) Applicability to Various Acne Patterns
The main mechanism of action of this herbal medicine focuses on alleviating the inflammatory environment.
Acne is primarily caused by
- excessive secretion of sebum (oil),
- proliferation of acne bacteria (C. acnes),
- inflammatory reactions,
These factors acting in combination. Often, people struggle when they try to resolve only the sebum issue.
Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's acne herbal medicine particularly focuses on controlling acne bacteria and inflammatory reactions.
Thus,
- For acne with active sebum secretion, it can help reduce the rate at which sebum progresses to inflammation.
- For acne with less sebum but recurrent outbreaks, it can help control the tendency for inflammatory reactions that easily redden even with minor irritation.
- For sensitive skin, it can help alleviate persistent redness or heat sensation after inflammation.
What is noteworthy here is that this herbal medicine does not suppress beneficial bacteria like antibiotics, nor does it almost completely stop sebum secretion like sebum regulators.
This is an approach that focuses on improving acne while maintaining the health of the skin and body.
4) Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Customized Prescription Based on Sipmi-paedoksan
The primary basis of this herbal prescription is Sipmi-paedoksan (十味敗毒散), which has been used for a long time in Korean traditional medicine. This prescription has primarily been utilized for inflammatory skin diseases, folliculitis, recurrent breakouts, and acne, among others.
This herbal medicine prescription is known as one of the types for which active research and papers are being conducted in relation to acne.
We go a step further from these basic prescriptions,
- herbal medicines that help quickly calm inflammatory reactions
- herbal medicines effective in alleviating redness (erythema)
- herbal medicines that support the skin's natural recovery process
etc., are blended in small amounts to be more suitable for acne management.
This differs from a typical single prescription of Shipmipaedoksan, and you can understand it as a prescription formulated specifically for acne management.
5) Easy-to-take stick-type herbal medicine
Traditional decoctions can be inconvenient to prepare, difficult to store, or challenging to consume due to their unique aroma.
Considering these points, our acne herbal medicine is
- in a stick pouch form that can be squeezed out and consumed immediately,
- and can be taken without water.
- The taste has been adjusted to be similar to commercially available red ginseng stick products, reducing the burden of the bitter taste characteristic of herbal medicine.
This form helps even those who found herbal medicine difficult to approach to take it comfortably.
For those who know the efficacy of traditional decoctions but find it difficult to take them consistently, this can be a viable alternative.
02. Background of 'Shipmipaedoksan' selection
Shipmipaedoksan is also known as 'Jumibaedoktang' in Japan and is one of the herbal medicine prescriptions applied to skin conditions where acne breakouts repeatedly occur.
According to various studies and reports,
- it can help control inflammatory signals caused by acne bacteria, such as skin redness or swelling,
- it can help reduce the frequency of the skin progressing to an inflammatory state,
- and it can contribute to alleviating secondary problems (pigmentation, persistent redness, etc.) that arise from recurrent inflammation.
These points have been reported through research.
A notable point is that this prescription is not a medicine that indiscriminately suppresses sebum secretion.
Sebum has essential functions for skin health, so rather than simply reducing sebum excessively, managing acne by regulating inflammatory reactions can be more helpful for maintaining long-term skin balance.
Considering these characteristics, we are utilizing this prescription as an acne herbal medicine that has minimal burden when used in conjunction with laser, extraction, and soothing treatments.

04. You may consider using it in the following cases
