I've had acne as long as I can remember too. Dan's Regimen is honestly the only thing that's ever worked for me. I've seen improvement with other stuff, prescription creams included, but with the Regimen I haven't had any new pimples in a month, just the left over red spots from past pimples (I'm white as a ghost myself so they are very prominent, I understand how you feel).

I'd give it a try. Just my two cents Good luck!

I can only tell you what worked and is still working a miracle for me. I was on duac, Retin A, antibiotics, etc., but nothing helped my acne. I decided I desperately needed to do something if I was going to prevent scarring and pitting of my face. I started to scour the internet for information about vegetarian diets and found that there are sites with people that had great luck when they totally stuck to a vegetarian or vegan diet. This was not something I wanted to do. I love steak, subs, bacon, chips, cheese doodles, cookies, ice cream, etc. But, I also could not stand the way my face looked with the acne.

I decided I had no choice. I decided to go completely vegetarian, as I felt it was my last chance for clear skin. That meant NO meat, No fish, NO milk, No cheese, NO sugar, No cookies, No white bread, NO soda or chips or any junk food! But, I had no choice. I started making smoothies with frozen strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, kale, spinach, dates, etc for breakfast.

I saute different vegetables for dinner and make a baked potato or big portobello mushroom and a big, green salad with tomatoes for dinner. I drink tons of water. I do not drink any lemonade or soda, but will put fresh squeezed lemons in most of my water. I think the diet I follow is called vegan because I do not eat any eggs or cheese or yogurt. For a snack I do things like freeze red grapes and snack on them at night.

Anyway, my skin did a complete 360! It has actually stopped breaking out! I very occasionally get 1 pimple, but it is no big thing compared to the pizza face I was becoming. My red scars are starting to fade and I do not wear any face make up because I no longer have to! It has really changed my life around now that my skin is clear and I am not embarrassed by it! Will I continue with this vegan diet? For now, definitely! I hated my face with pimples and zits, so the trade off is so worth it. In time, as I get older, maybe I will slowly have an egg, or start eating fish or chicken, but not for quite a while. My skin is where I never thought it would be and I am not going to take a chance on the acne returning!

If you are desperate and not getting anywhere with everything you have tried, you really should do this diet! It may seem hard, and you will be eating lots of vegetables, but there are many ways to cook them......I use Extra Virgin Olive oil to saute my veggies in. Don't forget to squeeze lemon in your water! It is definitely worth trying......but, I think most of us that really stick to this diet will not believe how clear their skin is in 3 weeks! To get started go on You Tube and look for vegetarian or vegan sites and blogs.
