Acne products
Nature’s Cure’s 2-Part acne preparations consist of homeopathic tablets and a facial cream.[6] The externally applied Benzoyl Peroxide vanishing cream kills the bacteria that causes acne[7] and also contains aloe and allantoin to prevent the skin from over-drying.[8] Nature’s Cure has specific formulations of the 2-Part Acne Treatments that are targeted to both males and females.[9]
Nature’s Cure's other acne products include Body Acne Treatment Spray, the Anti-Acne Papaya Skin-Care System, and the Anti-Acne Face & Body Shower Kit.[10][11][12]Feminine Care
Nature's Cure has a line of over-the-counter feminine care products for yeast infections (candidiasis) including 1-Day and 3-Day yeast infection treatment packs, which each come with vaginal anti-fungal treatment (containing tioconazole or miconazole nitrate, respectively) and homeopathic tablets, as well as yeast control capsules.[13] Like the 2-Part Acne Treatments, Nature’s Cure yeast infection products rely on the Law of Similars, one of the main principles of homeopathy.[14]
