Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Acne Herbal Medicine

An acne prescription that addresses concerns regarding the use of isotretinoin and antibiotic-class medications.

01. Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Approach to Acne Herbal Medicine

1) Reduced the burden of consumption.

If acne symptoms worsen, dermatologists often prescribe

antibiotics (e.g., minocycline, doxycycline, etc.), or
sebum regulators (isotretinoin class) are sometimes recommended.

While these drug treatments can be effective, however, they affect not only the skin but the entire body, and problems such as dryness, gastrointestinal discomfort, changes in liver enzyme levels, and gut microbiota imbalance may occur.

In particular, isotretinoin (Isotinon) class drugs are associated with risks of fetal malformation, joint pain due to decreased joint fluid, and worsening depression, among others. Various side effects have been reported. Therefore, their use is generally not recommended for patients with moderate or milder acne, and regular medical observation is essential when taken.

In contrast, Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's acne herbal medicine based on Sipmipaidoksan is founded on a prescription that has been rarely reported with special adverse reactions even during long-term use in the Korean medicine community and Japanese clinical studies.

Of course, acne improvement effects are also considered.

That is,

it does not broadly affect beneficial gut bacteria like antibiotics,
nor does it excessively suppress sebum secretion like isotretinoin-class drugs.
Furthermore, it is designed to minimize the burden on liver function.

We often receive inquiries asking, “Isn't herbal medicine also a burden on the liver?” However, the actual risk of hepatotoxicity is more frequently reported with isotretinoin-class drugs or certain antibiotics. Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's prescription can be said to have a relatively wider margin of safety compared to these drugs.

2) Reasonable Pricing

Some patients express concerns like, “Won't herbal medicine be too expensive?”

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's acne herbal medicine focuses on the single goal of acne improvement in its prescription formulation. As a result, we avoided using unnecessarily expensive ingredients, thereby reducing the cost burden.

Therefore,

Even on a monthly basis, the cost is affordable enough to try without significant burden,
and if needed, it has a structure that allows trying consumption in 10-day increments.
It is designed as such.

In other words, we considered a cost that patients can easily access without significant burden.

3) Applicable Approach to Various Acne Types

The primary mechanism of action of Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's herbal medicine focuses on regulating the internal inflammatory environment.

Acne generally occurs due to a combination of factors, including

increased sebum secretion,
proliferation of acne bacteria (C. acnes),
inflammatory reactions,

and other factors. Simply trying to resolve only sebum issues may not always lead to satisfactory results.

Among these, Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's acne herbal medicine can provide significant help in controlling the activity of acne bacteria and managing inflammatory reactions.

Thus,

For acne with high sebum secretion, it can help alleviate the process of sebum developing into inflammation.
For acne that repeatedly occurs even with low sebum, it contributes to regulating the tendency for inflammation to easily occur even with minor irritation.
For sensitive skin, it can help alleviate the prolonged redness and heat sensation that appears after inflammation.

The characteristic of this prescription is that it does not affect beneficial gut bacteria like antibiotics, and it does not extremely suppress sebum secretion like sebum regulators.

This can be considered an approach that considers the overall health of the skin and body along with acne improvement.

4) Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Customized Prescription Based on Sipmipaidoksan

This herbal medicine prescription is based on Sipmipaidoksan (十味敗毒散), which has been used for a long time in traditional Korean medicine. It has primarily been used for the management of symptoms such as inflammatory skin diseases, folliculitis, chronic breakouts, and acne.

This prescription is among the traditional Korean medicines for acne that are actively undergoing academic research.

We have advanced one step further from existing prescriptions,

Herbal ingredients that soothe inflammatory reactions
Herbal ingredients that help alleviate redness (erythema)
Herbal ingredients that aid skin regeneration

by blending these ingredients in small amounts to create a formula customized for acne management.

You can understand it as a prescription where herbal ingredients are adjusted according to acne symptoms, unlike a typical Sipmipaidoksan prescription.

5) Convenient stick-type traditional Korean medicine for consumption

Many people find traditional decoctions inconvenient to take due to their cumbersome preparation, difficult storage, and unique aroma.

Our clinic's acne traditional Korean medicine aims to improve these inconveniences by

being in a squeeze-and-take stick form
easy to consume without water,
and reducing bitterness like regular red ginseng sticks, so people of all ages can take it without burden.

making it easy for even those who found traditional Korean medicine difficult to consume.

This is a suitable form of consumption for those who understand the efficacy of decoctions but find it difficult to take them regularly.

02. Reasons for choosing 'Sipmipaidoksan'

This prescription is also known as 'Jumibaedoktang' in Japan and is particularly used in skin management for frequent acne breakouts.

Looking at related research and reports,

by controlling inflammatory reactions (such as skin redness, swelling, etc.) caused by acne bacteria,
it reduces the frequency of skin progressing to an inflammatory state,
and can help alleviate secondary issues (e.g., hyperpigmentation, red marks) caused by repeated inflammation.

These points were observed.

An important point is that this traditional Korean medicine does not unconditionally suppress sebum secretion.

Sebum is a natural function necessary for the body, so rather than indiscriminately reducing it, controlling inflammation is more stable and beneficial for maintaining skin balance.

Considering these characteristics, we recommend it as an acne traditional Korean medicine that places less burden when used with other treatments such as lasers, extractions, and soothing care.

03. Dosing Instructions

Initial progress check period : 10 days
Whether redness is alleviated
Whether the frequency of painful acne occurrence has decreased
These two points will be primarily observed.

General recommended duration of use : 4 weeks
Whether the interval between acne recurrences lengthens
Whether acne that repeatedly occurred in the same area calms down
Whether skin recovery speed improves after extraction or laser treatments

After 1 month of use, it is designed so that long-term use can be considered for preventive purposes.

How to take : Take 2-3 times a day, preferably at a regular time, regardless of before or after meals.
Concurrent treatments possible : Designed to be used with various acne treatments such as extractions, Secret, Elysiss, Agnes, etc.

04. Consider in the following cases

Acne calms down when taking antibiotics, but recurs upon discontinuation
Even if sebum secretion is not high, those whose pores quickly become red and inflamed with even slight blockage
Skin that stays red for a long time after irritation
Those who feel they have sensitive skin
Those who are considering a treatment but want to avoid medications that might strain their body
Those who are planning pregnancy or, for health reasons, prioritize the safety of long-term medication.
