Mangosteen is an evergreen tree with edible fruits belonging to the Clusiaceae family and Garcina genus. The plant originated in Southeast Asia, but it is now found in Borneo, Sumatra, Malaysia, and Burma. Due to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, it is widely used in facial creams and lotions to reduce acne. It is rich in antioxidants that help to neutralise free radicals and reduce their damage to health.
