Why It Works: Chamomile is one of nature's most precious gifts and it's also one of the oldest, most documented medicinal herbs in the world. The same properties that calm our nerves or upset stomach can also relieve stressed-out skin, which makes for a great spot treatment.

Chamomile is both cleansing and hydrating; the antibacterial effects make it a strong ingredient for spot treatments because it gently reduces painful inflammation while soothing a blemish. Chamomile, a cousin to daisy, comes in German or Roman, and the tiny flowering buds have a tradition of healing wounds as well as acne.
