Benefits of Fruit Extracts for Mature Acne & Scarred Skin

Vitamins and nutrients are essential for healthy, acne-free skin. Today, fruit extracts are found in a number of natural creams and cleansers that prevent acne and aging.

Apple Extract

Apple extract is one of the newest fruit extracts used in skin products. Apples are full of vitamins A and C and zinc, which are all essential for glowing, healthy skin.

Grapefruit Seed Extract

Grapefruit seed extract has also gained notoriety in the skin care industry. Neutrogena has an entire line based on this fruit extract that digs deep under the surface to fight bacteria-causing acne.

Apricot Extract

Apricot extract is one of the most well-known fruit extracts used in facial cleansers. This extract fights acne by adding high doses of vitamin A to the skin.

Orange Extract

Citrus aurantium dulcis (orange) extract is used in topical creams and masks that repair acne scarring because it is full of vitamin C, which adds a healthy glow to skin and improves its overall health.

Lemon Extract

Lemon extract is also used in products as a source of vitamin C and works much like orange extract.
