Hello. In this thread, I want to create an organized table of people who had success in curing their acne with supplementation.

Take in mind that supplementation alone will likely not work for most, and so a healthy diet, and sleep and exercise schedule is essential. So if anyone who has found an acne cure through a supplement or more, could you please comment the exact kind of supplement, or group of supplements, it was, along with how much it cleared you percentage wise, your background, skin background (dry, oily, etc.), what kind of acne you suffered from (blackheads, pimples, hormonal, etc.), how long you used it for or have been using it for, and any reviews or info you want other to know about. I will then take your info and update the table so that it is easily viewed upon by myself and others looking for the same thing. The table will look like this:

"supplement(s) used" - "percentage cleared" - "for time duration" - "kind of skin" - "kind of acne" - "personal background" - "additional info"

example:

Vitamin D - 100% - For 2 Years - Oily Skin - Blackheads & Pimples - I'm 23, had acne since 13 - Vitamin D got rid of all excess oil

- Halibut Liver Oil, Probiotic, Milk Thistle - 100% - Took 2 Weeks - Oily Skin - Pimples & Whiteheads - Age 20, had acne since 12 - Been clear for a month now

NO SUPPLEMENTS WORK FOR ACNE.

they can help with damage healing SLIGHTLY i guess but thats about it. they are too weak

exercise is not relevant at all and even cause worse breakouts for some

I cured my acne with supplements. I had acne since I was 12 and I now have clear skin at age 20 :) My skin type used to be oily but ended up getting dryer and dryer. I had horrible breakouts of pimples that had white heads on them. The supplements I used were halibut liver oil, a probiotic like acidophilus, and milk thistle. My skin cleared up completely and it only took me two weeks :)

I use cetaphil face wash and tea tree oil. And my acne has been clear for over a month. I have a healthy diet but its not super restricted. I'll eat whatever I want but will avoid processed foods.

Supplements alone won't cure your acne for everyone. For you it may work but what's more important is eating a healthy organic diet not consisting of processed foods, GMOs, and other toxic chemicals. Of course in America it's almost impossible to avoid processed foods completely but miniizing consumption can clear most cases of acne (mild to moderate).

Trust me on this, eat organic as much as possible for 2-3 months ( skin renews itself every 6 to 8 weeks) and you will see results not only for your skin but also your OVERALL health! =)

Look for that "USDA organic" seal to know it's 100% organic void of pesticides, GMOs, and preservatives.

Healing skin from the inside is much more vital than externally. Why do you think salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide help TREAT acne but not cure it ( can still get acne).

Blame our desire for money (Big Pharma, Huge food enteties, etc) that ultimately is detrimental not only our skin but also our health (cancer and preventable diseases).

Take home message: Basically eat the food our ancestors ate! :D
