But it&amp;#039;s the\u00A0antimicrobial properties of\u00A0Allicin, a chemical compound found in raw garlic, that could\u00A0potentially\u00A0reduce the\u00A0redness\u00A0and size of your pimples. However -\u00A0and here&amp;#039;s a big old\u00A0WARNING -the allicin can also cause painful blisters on the skin when applied directly, so\u00A0don&amp;#039;t do it. We spoke with Dr Philippa Lowe, Dermatologist and Simple Skincare expert to get her opinion on this stinky subject.\u00A0&amp;quot;There are a number of plant extracts that\u00A0have antimicrobial properties, including Allicin. \u00A0However, not only is it probably not\u00A0enough to cure a\u00A0spot, but when garlic is rubbed directly on the acne spot it can lead to a plant dermatitis and even blistering. \u00A0It is much better to stick to a formulated spot gel, like Simple Spotless Skin Rapid Action Spot Zapper for a quick fix of an inflamed spot - this may include some plant extract antimicrobials such as eucalyptus oil but at a tested and safe level.&amp;quot; Hmmm as much as we hate spots and\u00A0love garlic (bread) we&amp;#039;ll give\u00A0this trend\u00A0a miss\u00A0thankyouverymuch.
