Acne.org Products
So i have been suffering with acne for around a year to year and a half now, and am having no success at all after trying multiple products its just ruining me and my life and making me lose all confidence. I have oily skin and use Nivea Oil free Moisturiser
My current routine
I use a boots charcoal face wash at night and also apply epi duo to my face everynight, the moisturiser i use is Nivea oil free daily cream moisturiser. i am also around 7 months into using Tetralysal which my GP prescribed me, this is my 3rd set of different tablet types all of which have failed to work. I am also drinking 4 bottles of water per day.
Any help would be appreciated

Ask to have your vitamin d levels checked. You might be low. I'm a fan of vitamin c. Search the boards here about zinc fish oil too.
Fragrance free detergents change pillow case often. I even use flouride free toothpaste.
Acne should be hit on several fronts. And go back to the dermatologist. See what else they can do

I will do.
i think im going to start taking supplements also, what do u take for Vitamin C and D?
also i think i am going to visit the dermatologist to see what they can do.
Do you know of a way to help me get ride of the acne scars on each cheek and even out the skin tone as it seems it is just the scars left there?
Thanks for your help
I take 2000 mg of vitamin d am and pm, and I take 500 mg of vitamin c 4 times a day
also look into fish oil, or some omega 3s....they break some people out, miraculously help others...you just have to jump in and try things and keep a journal
same thing with zinc and magnesium
Yer definitely look in to your diet it seems like that could be one of the causes. Is your acne just round your jawline or is it any where else?
Mainly neck and jawline
What could I do with my diet?
like mrsrobinson said the first thing I would look into cutting out is dairy. Give it a go for a few weeks atleast and see if you see any changes it won't do any harm. Whats your diet like at the moment?

No specifics really in my diet, but I don't eat much dairy at all so doubt it's that...it's so tiring I don't know what else to do, are there other supplements I should take
Also on my neck they're are mainly cysts
Yes I agree with other comments, dairy is a big trigger many people. Drinking green tea & matcha green tea has also been great for me.
how much green tea do u drink? and as for dairy products what are the main ones u cut out
I normally drink the below a day. You could cut out the coffee or replace it with another green tea (I cant drink green tea or mathca on an empty stomach) & need a kick start.
1 cup of coffee in the morning
1 cup of matcha green tea
3-4 cups of regualr green tea
I cut out milk (use almond milk instead). Cheese (may have on the odd occasion or special occassions). Butter (I use a dairy free butter that tastes just as good). Yoghurt ( I have 1 pro bitoic yoghurt a week). It's relly easy to do to be honest as there are some great alternatives. Cheese is the only thing I am yet to find a great alternative.
Chin and jawline acne is usually due to hormones. I couldn't open the pics but if you're male, pick up a bottle of saw palmetto with stinging nettle. I had painful cysts along my jawline for the longest time (about 2-3 new ones a week) and saw palmetto with stinging nettle completely got rid of it.
