Why it works:

Lime helps kill the bacteria in the pimple and prevents it from getting infected. It also helps reduces the redness. Cinnamon has oil containing antiseptics, astringents and carminatives. All of these together helps reduce the inflammation and redness of the acne and overtime, clearing it altogether.
