    Yep, as trudy77450 states: good for a hangover!  Always believed Milk Thistle had detoxifying properties, especially relating to the liver.

    funny i have just been reading about milk thistle acne & hormones.

    If you have an hormone imbalance and constipated it can cause acne which i have bad. Milk thistle can help eleviate the estrogens and progestrones in your liver espe if your constipated & not getting rid of it through the bowel,  which could be the cause of acne. Im always constipated too,so im off to buy some. I expect it take time to kick in but i let you no 

    Thanks sooooo much xxsmile
