Hey everyone,

I'm new to this forum and just wanted to hear peoples thoughts on what I do for my acne.

A little background on me, I'm 22 male, white and have been battling acne since I was 12. It went from slight acne to mild to moderate to severe. I went on accutane in 8th/9th grade and it went back down to moderate and now it is a mild where I get a few pimples sometimes they are small ones, sometimes they can be big annoying ones.

so my routine for acne is this.

supplements:

Green tea

Vitamin C, A, D, E

Zinc

cinnamon

Borage seed oil

Selenium

I wash my face with Checks and balances face wash from origins 1-2 times a day

I moisturize with Aveeno Ultra Calming which has 15 SPF

I also drink a ton of water and have been drinking barely water as well since I heard it is good for skin.

I'm just looking for any thoughts on how I can improve my skin or tips you guys can give me. Thank you!!!!

That sounds like a pretty good regimen! Have you considered using toner after washing your face?

I used that new SImple Toner and it seemed to cause little tiny breakouts and once I stopped it they went away but I'm trying to stay away from chemicals and use more natural stuff.
