Under certain conditions, mangosteen can have a healing and anti-inflammatory effect on skin blemishes and pimples.
The presumed anti-inflammatory effect of the xanthones and polyphenols contained in the fruit can have a positive effect on inflamed skin areas and pimples. However, this has not yet been scientifically confirmed(13, 14).
However, there are no known negative effects of mangosteen treatment on the appearance of pimples or acne. You can therefore consider treating your skin with mangosteen on a trial basis and observe whether you experience a positive effect or not.
