first my english is kinda bad c but i think you will understand:

do this:

-no chocolate
-no ketchup , mayonese
-no mc donald, hot dogs, fried chiker and sh..t like that
- wash your face wiht some soup that reduce sebum , when you wake up and when you are going to sleep
- get a skin cleansing by a pro every month for 3 motnhs
- and wash your razor every time before using it with alcohol ( this one is bery important coz if the razor is dirty will make your pims got infected)
- drink alot of wather
- dont use sun-block cream is greasy

- i see some result in 2 months and get rid of it in 6 months good luck people, no pills no sh..t

Use virgin coconut oil on your face, the good oil will make it so that the sebum don't have to increase to moisturize your face, it is also anti-bacterial/viral/inflammation.

Get a facial once a month to keep acne under control.

Or you can go medical route and take meds like accutane, there are some side effects (depression, I believe).

Your hormones can't help themselves, you just have acne and have to deal with it. I didn't stop getting major breakouts since maybe after turning 23, I still get a few zits here and there but its totally under control now and I don't have to get monthly facials anymore.

In this order:

1. Wash face gently with a soap intended for this purpose, like cetaphil or those amber colored neutrogena bars.

2. Amongst OTC products, benzoyl peroxide is the best. Consider utilizing the regimen at acne.org, it has worked for many individuals (the forums there would also be a much better resource than here). The biggest downside for a SF member is that it bleaches clothing; I have lost about 5 shirts due to it.

3. Change diet. Scientifically, diet is only tenuously linked to acne. Most empirical evidence (including my own) would support the fact, but there are no hard and fast rules. Most commonly people advise cutting refined sugars. I find the old cliche of chocolate causing acne to be more true than anything else; but eating healthy will

4. See a dermatologist. They will inevitably prescribe medication such as topical or oral antibiotics. Works for most people but rather overkill compared to what is actually needed in most cases.

5. If that doesn't work the most severe thing you can do is accutane. This is almost guaranteed to wipe out your acne but has significant side effects. I believe there is actually a class-action lawsuit against it because of the harm it can cause.

As someone that had acne on both face, chest and back, I can comiserate. I have tried everything as well.

I kept a clean diet, but even still, acne came to my back, which my dermatologist said was not the case of what I was eating.

I hate to say it, but the only thing that truly ever cleared my body/face up was accutane. As someone that come off it recently, here is how it went for me, just in case anyone might be thinking about it, or at that point.

I would be concerned if you saw a dermatologist and he did not address everything I went through in my program, should you get to that point.

1. A dermatologist will never give it to you off the bat. They will try antibiotics that kill bacteria first (amoxicilin, doxycycline, etc.). Only after a couple months is it determined that accutane is the right way to go.

2. If you decide to go on it, read the risks, but also consult your dermatologist. Mine did his residency at the Mayo clinic and was a delegate on the American Board of Dermatology, so I believed what he had to say. He was very nervous to put anyone on it because it is a rigorous program, plus a lot of people do not follow through on everything. The way he treats patients through Accutane is by doing the most aggressive treatment for a limited number of months. I did 120mg/day for 5 months, and that was it. Keep in mind you will have to get your blood tested every other week for the first 6 weeks, then 1/month, then finally 1 time after two months of your last dose. If you are not strict, do not think about going on it.

3. Understand you will not be drinking anymore. Accutane is very rough on your liver, so the doctor will tell you right up front. Since your blood gets tested so frequently, they will know if you are doing things you aren't supposed to. As well as being tough on your liver, it gets very rough on your skin (you've never experienced dryness like it, so carry tons of chapstick and moisturizer). You will also have to enroll in an iPledge program and will only get 1 month administered at a time. Failure to get things prescribed and filled on time causes problems.

In a nutshell, that's the program. I never had any issues that are named in lawsuits and never felt any suicidal thoughts. Since you get tested so often, you should know if there are any problems when they come up. If you are taking any meds, namely anything for depression, adhd, etc., it might not work out. Honestly, it was the best decision I made because my skin looks fantastic and people really noticed the differences. I have tons more confidence taking my shirt off in the summer. I was told by my dermatologist that I should never need it again, and by the looks of it, I won't. The last part that sucked was it was expensive. I was paying about $300/month for visit/tests/drugs. IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY!

If anyone needs any more info, or wants to know more, let me know. I am here to help.

Oh yes, this +99999999999

This is probably the top 5 best things you can do to help control acne.

Also, are you on any special diets? specifically low carb?

Decrease/cut out omega 6 oils, most oils, nuts, some pork and chicken etc...

Don't know about severe acne, I get a little now and then. So does my wife.

We both noticed significant decreases when we started taking greens+.

Its not why we were taking it, but hey. Might be worth trying.
