Hey everyone, Ive had acne, pimples, white heads, black heads, closed comedones and oily T zone since Ive been 17 and Im now 35.
Ive cut dairy and gluten and stick to a low carb diet full of leafy greens, chicken, fish, turkey and grass fed beef. The only fruits I really consume are berries.
I cannot figure out how to stop these closed comedowns, clogged pores, black heads and oily skin on my T zone. Ive tried so many things, diets, vitamins, face creams, retinols, face washs etc. my face just responds negatively. I used to have cystic acne until I cut the dairy and gluten, now Im fighting constantly popping up closed comedones that are like a waxy plug when I extract them. If they dont extract on the first try then they get irritated and form a full blown deep pimple. Im currently taking cod liver oil, vit d3, zinc and vit c in conjunction with each other . I just started this regimen after listening to a Dr Berg video.
Does anyone have any success with overcoming anything like my story?
Thanks in advance.
Gosh, doesn't acne suck!?
I feel your pain. You try everything you possibly can and it still doesn't clear it up. It sounds like you're doing really well with diet. The only frontier on that front that you could still try would be carnivore. I'm really curious to see more people with recalcitrant acne try it and see how it works for them.
Aside from that, The Regimen should prevent more of the acne that you're talking about. Have you ever been on The Regimen?
