After reading an article that stated a study had found insulin-resistance effects lasts for a week after coffee consumption, I decided to try giving up caffeine for at lease a week and avoid coffee, coke, chocolate and anything else with caffeine in it's ingredients. Previously, I had stopped consuming the above food and drinks for at least a week, but never all at the same time.

In the last week my acne has cleared completely from being 5+ new spots a day

I Hope this information helps someone

Might have more to do with the other things that are in those foods, like tons of sugar.

coffee has always made me break out in huge cysts, usually even within 4 hours after I've drank it :(

I react negatively to caffeine as well. Primarily from unsweetened tea where sugar is not a factor.

I guess it really depends on your skin type but I'm glad that abstaining from caffeine worked for you. Different skins, different remedies so let's just hope that we could all find the perfect remedy to our acne.
