HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Acne Formula Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
This powder contains four active ingredients. Burdock, cleavers, dandelion, and yellow dock are all plant-based botanicals traditionally used in herbal formulations.
They're supplied as powders and combined in a proprietary blend — meaning the exact proportions aren't disclosed on the label. There are no inactive fillers listed.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence for this product's effectiveness isn't established in our data. Burdock, dandelion, and yellow dock all have insufficient reliable evidence to rate them for acne, aging skin, or other skin conditions.
We hold no effectiveness information for cleavers. If you're considering this product for acne or skin health, talk with your dermatologist or pharmacist about what the science actually supports.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Burdock is likely safe as a food and for short-term use in healthy adults, though long-term human data are limited — it's well tolerated orally, but rare allergic reactions including anaphylaxis and contact dermatitis have been reported, and one case of liver injury occurred (though other ingredients in that product may have contributed). Dandelion is generally well tolerated; the most common side effects are diarrhea, heartburn, and stomach discomfort, and rare anaphylaxis or allergic reactions are possible.
Yellow dock acts as a laxative and contains oxalates — use it short-term only. Raw leaves or rhizomes can cause serious harm (kidney stones, low blood calcium, vomiting).
All three checked ingredients lack enough safety data in pregnancy and breastfeeding; the safety data advise against burdock and yellow dock in pregnancy and lactation, and dandelion safety during nursing is unclear — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before use if you're pregnant or nursing.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Before taking this powder, check with your pharmacist if you take diuretics (water pills), digoxin (a heart medication), warfarin or other blood thinners, potassium-sparing diuretics, antidiabetes drugs, lithium, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, or CYP1A2-metabolized drugs — the worst risks are Major with diuretics and digoxin, and Moderate with the others.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This powder blends four botanicals with limited evidence for acne or skin conditions, and its interaction profile is substantial — especially yellow dock's Major risks with heart and water-pill medications. If you take any prescription drugs, especially blood thinners, heart meds, water pills, diabetes meds, or lithium, check each one through our interaction tool before you start.
Talk with your pharmacist to decide whether it's right for you.

Acne Formula Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
TerraVita Premium Collection Acne Formula Powder contains four ingredients, and the interactions are significant.
Yellow dock carries the most serious concerns — it poses a Major risk with diuretic drugs (water pills) and digoxin (a heart medication), both because chronic use of yellow dock can lower potassium and trigger toxicity or dangerous heart rhythms. Dandelion and burdock each interact with blood thinners (anticoagulants/antiplatelet drugs) at a Moderate level, raising bleeding risk through different mechanisms — dandelion's root inhibits platelet clumping, and burdock's lignans do the same.
Dandelion also interacts Moderately with potassium-sparing diuretics (certain water pills), antidiabetes drugs, CYP1A2-metabolized drugs (affecting how your liver processes them), lithium, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, and glucuronidated drugs — all through different pathways.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Yellow dock additionally interacts Moderately with warfarin (a blood thinner), because its laxative effect can boost warfarin's potency and bleeding risk. We could not check cleavers (powder) — no safety data are on file for it.
Altogether, these interactions span 518 individual medications. Run your exact prescriptions through the search tool on this page before starting this powder.

For each ingredient in Acne Formula Powder with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Dandelion, Powder
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, taking dandelion root along with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.
In vitro research suggests that dandelion root inhibits platelet aggregation.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, dandelion might increase the risk for hypoglycemia when used with antidiabetes drugs.
Laboratory research suggests that dandelion extract may have moderate alpha-glucosidase inhibitor activity and might also increase insulin secretion. Also, in a case report, a 58-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes who was being treated with insulin developed hypoglycemia 2 weeks after beginning to eat salads containing dandelion.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, dandelion might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
Laboratory research suggests that dandelion might inhibit CYP1A2. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans. However, until more is known, watch for an increase in the levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2 in patients taking dandelion.
Glucuronidated Drugs
Theoretically, dandelion might increase the clearance of drugs that are UDP-glucuronosyltransferase substrates.
There is some preliminary evidence that dandelion might induce UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, a phase II enzyme.
Lithium
Theoretically, through diuretic effects, dandelion might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.
Animal research suggests that dandelion has diuretic properties. As diuretics can increase serum lithium levels, the dose of lithium might need to be decreased when taken with dandelion.
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics
Theoretically, dandelion might increase the risk of hyperkalemia when taken with potassium-sparing diuretics.
Dandelion contains significant amounts of potassium.
Quinolone Antibiotics
Theoretically, dandelion might lower fluoroquinolone levels.
Animal research shows that dandelion reduces absorption of ciprofloxacin and can lower levels by 73%. However, this effect has not been reported in humans.
Burdock, Powder
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, taking burdock with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bleeding.
In vitro research shows that lignans from burdock reduce rabbit platelet aggregation by inhibiting platelet activating factor. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Yellow Dock, Powder
Digoxin (Lanoxin)
Theoretically, yellow dock might increase the risk of digoxin toxicity when used long-term or in large amount.
When yellow dock is used chronically or in large amounts, hypokalemia may occur. This might increase the toxic effects of digoxin.
Diuretic Drugs
Theoretically, yellow dock might increase the risk of hypokalemia when taken with diuretics.
When yellow dock is used chronically or in large amounts, hypokalemia may occur, and overuse of yellow dock might compound diuretic-induced potassium loss.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Theoretically, the laxative effects of yellow dock might increase the effects of warfarin, including the risk of bleeding.
The anthraquinones in yellow dock have a mild stimulant laxative effect. Consuming excessive amounts can cause diarrhea. Diarrhea can increase the effects of warfarin, increase international normalized ratio (INR), and increase the risk of bleeding.
