I have been suffering from acne since early teens, moderate acne, not terrible but very irritating. I found out about benzoyl peroxide about 10 years ago, so had it under control ever since. I get occasional big spots on my face and some body acne.

It definitely got better as I got older (now 27), and i've made a couple of attempts to come of the benzoyl peroxide, but then I always get the odd huge spot on my face so immediately start back on BP.

I decided to try an experiment. Two tablespoons of olive oil X 3 a day or more (probably more like 4 times a day). Its been 2 weeks and all my body acne has almost completely gone, and the couple of times I have had a spot it has been tiny and disappears after 1 day.

I have a few other skin issues, and read in a different forum about a theory on how people with skin issues may have a stomach problem with digesting and making use of healthy fats. This is what inspired my experiment.

Will keep monitoring this and will update later down the line, anyone else had a similar experiences or care to share their opinion?

Thanks
