What does it do?

Zhen Zhu An Chuang Pian formula is particularly suited to cases that are characterized by noncystic acne, abundant pimples, blackheads or bumps associated with adolescence. It is suitable for a range of skin issues that manifest in itching, redness, and fit into the pattern that Chinese medicine ascribes to heat and/or dampness.

According to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the skin is associated with the lung and body fluids, and noncystic acne is often associated with heat and dampness. The redness is related to heat, and the tendency to present with a greasy complexion and pustules is associated with dampness. Zhen Zhu An Chuang Pian is made up of natural Chinese herbs that deals with the root cause by clearing heat and eliminating dampness from the skin.

Zhen Zhu, true pearl, is one of Chinese medicine's most famous agents for improving the facial complexion, and it is often incorporated into skin and beauty products. Pearl clears heat and brightens the skin while improving the skin's tone and texture. When taken internally, it also improves the skin at the deepest possible level.

Pu Gong Ying (Dandelion), Jin Yin Hua (Honeysuckle flower), Ye Ju Hua (Wild Chrysanthemum flower), Zi Hua Di Ding (Violet), and Tian Kui Zi (Semiaquilegia root) are all herbs that are found together in the classical formula Wu Wei Xiao Du Yin (Five Ingredient Toxin-Dispersing Beverage). These herbs clear heat and resolve toxins, and they are particularly suited to skin conditions that manifest with redness and/or signs of damp-heat.

Chi Shao (Red Peony), Mu Dan Pi (Moutan cortex), and Dan Shen (Salvia root) are cooling herbs that move the blood, and together they clear deep-lying heat from the channels of the face. Dan Shen also improves the circulation of blood into the body's tiny capillaries to nourish the skin.

Di Fu Zi (Kochia fruit) helps the other herbs to target the skin, and it clears dampness and heat from the skin. Bei Sha Shen (Glehnia root) nourishes the lung yin, which helps the skin to stay lustrous and nourished.

AcniPearl™ (Zhen Zhu An Chuang Pian) is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 47.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BBrownOrg from Great for pimples on teenage humans! :) I have two teenage children who have developed acne issues. Unfortunately for them their only recourse has been to use zit cover-up cream. I recall how embarrassing it was to have pimples growing up and I hoped this formula would help. About halfway through a single bottle using the recommended dose their skin started to clear up. After a bottle and a half their acne was gone and they felt so much better and more confident. AcnePearl really works! I wish I would have known about this 30 years ago!

Rated 1 out of 5 by She she from Worse To begin with, i did not have bad acne before using this. My acne was under control. I thought i would buy this product to keeo my hormonal acne at bay. This made me break out something terrible. I had such hard cystic bumps after taking this. Not sure if it is supoosed to get worse before actually getting better but im not going to continue taking it to find out.

Rated 4 out of 5 by jeriwho from Very helpful to clear damp heat in the face and neck I never had acne as a teenager. It became an issue in my 50's. In the autumn, or if I indulge in sweets, I get inflamed patches on my face and neck and raised bumps and pimples. This product helps clear inflammation and clear up pimples/cysts on the skin. As a very tall woman, 180 lbs, my dosage is 7 pills at a time, 2x per day. My orders from ActiveHerb always arrive quickly

Rated 5 out of 5 by TerriB from Improvement Already! My two daughters, who are both adolescents, have mild acne. They took these pills for a few months before, but they only took them once a day, and not every day. After they ran out, we didn't reorder right away. Then, a few weeks ago, we bought some more, and they began taking six pills two or three times every day. Within a couple of weeks, we all saw great improvement! The redness went out of their skin, the inflammation was gone, and the bumps began to disappear. It just keeps getting better as they continue taking these pills. Also, my younger daughter, who is fourteen, had a bad rash on her chest. It is recurring, since it pops up occasionally. It was really inflamed. Because of these pills, it is completely gone now! These are great for all skin conditions.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AMarie from Really Works! I was suddenly breaking out all over my neck, forehead and sides of face. I bought the AcniPearl formula and it began working very rapidly. After one day's worth of pills, I awoke with much less inflammation and the acne was somewhat reduced. It's been about 2 weeks now of taking it and it's almost all cleared up.

Rated 5 out of 5 by joshuaf from Working Well for my Damp Heat/Acne Doing a nice job of supporting my "damp heat". Had tons of acne breakouts on my back until acupuncture and herbs. Recommended formula by my acupuncturist. Was using a patent version in Australia and in coming to the states found this patent version available here. Very happy with it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SaintDrogo from This transformed my complexion! I am a middle age man who has suffered most of my adult life with both erythematotelangiectatic and papulopustular rosacea. My nose would often flush bright red, and I would frequently get pimples, including cystic type acne that would take months to clear up. I started taking AcniPearl almost three years ago and have had almost no flushing, very few pimples, and not a single case of cystic acne. The few pimples I do get clear up and heal quickly. This formula has helped to transform my complexion!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jenn7 from Good First Impression I brought four bottles of AcniPearl earlier this year hoping it could help to fight my 7-year journey with acne. It has digestive benefits along with reducing the times I had breakouts. I didn't see positive results until the third bottle, so anticipate a longer wait than your typical acne oral medications. Afterward, I tried different herbal supplements for acne but did not live up to expectations as this one did. On my second set now !!! One bottle runs out fast so stock up .

Rated 5 out of 5 by mifa from Very effective! I did not have acne in my teenage year, however, I began to get acne when my health went down in my late twenties. I tried antibiotic, cream, natural remedies, etc. - nothing really worked until this. And the great thing is it works very fast. 80% of my acnes healed after 3 days taking this at half dose. The rest healed themselves after 10 days even though I had stopped taking the tablets at the 4th day. Excellent product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kenzi from Back acne gradually disappearing I have tried every kind of medication and topical products for my acne. I decided to try to go a more natural way and deal with my acne by valancing my horomones. With Acnipearl I also use Yinvive. Together my back acne and chest acne has reduced at least 50%. I have only used 3 bottles at maximum dose and plan to continue use. The future is looking good for my skin.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Eyeris from Help keeps my acne under control I've been using Acnipearl for a few months now and though it hasn't taken away my acne, I do get less breakouts and when pimples do pop up they heal faster. I will probably stick with it for a few more months to give my body the opportunity to get used to it. I would recommend it for anyone with mild acne. Reduces Cystic acne, but doesn't get rid of it completely.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Yjacket2001 from Helps my sensitive skin from the inside (not topical) The skin is your largest organ and needs more help the older you get. I appreciate the old proven Chinese formulas as a finishing touch on top of every thing else I can do. Initially improving my health and diet for my eyes opens up opportunity for my skin as well which is sensitive to begin with, I break out noticeably less since starting this herb

Rated 5 out of 5 by Pamela from Great product I was prescribed this formula by my acupuncturist for mild acne that began at age 68. I have had excellent results. I originally took this for about 2 months. Now I take it for about a week whenever I notice a small breakout. I tried several Ayurvedic formulas first but they increased the breakouts. This formula has not had that unfortunate result.

Rated 5 out of 5 by vamw from It really does work. I was quite happy to find this. I'm 61 and have cystic acne and have been taking Aldactone for years which makes my breasts grow. Quite the dilemma, really. So, to find this is amazing. I can bump up how much I take if I feel a welt coming up and it does work. I'm still adjusting just how much I need to take but I'm loving it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Gwen from Good Product!! I have been suffering from acne. I get lots of tiny ones all year round and large acnes during that time of the month. After taking 5 pills twice a day I noticed that there was no large acne appearing. So far i have only been taking it for a month. Will continue consumption for now :)

It is brighter and clear looking skin. I will continue using it and hope to maintain the skin to be clear through that time of the month.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Emily from Huge difference in less than a week Amazing. Huge difference in my teenage daughter's acne in less than a week. She's taking 5 pills 1-2 times a day. She also seems calmer - she can be pretty emotional!!! Maybe she's just happier because her skin looks so much better.
