I've (relatively) recently discovered the impact that the glycemic load of my food has on my acne. I've noticed that starchy vegetables like potatoes have little impact, particularly if eaten with fat...

BP can sometimes cause crud in your pores to oxidize, which causes the color to change. The stuff was probably already there, but now it's just a different color. If they really bother you, go to a fa...

They sound like closed comedones to me. I had a run with those a while back, and picking, popping and scratching them really truly only makes them worse. I recommend a glycolic acid moisturizer (or p...

My mom told me that I should wash my face and that if I washed my face well enough I would not get pimples. To her credit, she always had clear skin so didn't know what to do with a kid that had acne.

Of the four oils you mentioned, coconut oil is definitely comedogenic and I would avoid using it on face unless you suffer from eczema or psoriasis. As far as the viscosity is concerned, the grape see...

Hi all. 2 weeks ago I started drinking a small glass of pure vegetable juice, once in the morning and once in the evening. A few days after, I started to get acne on my chin and around my mouth area. ...

Thank you for replying dscully! Wow... its amazing how much we need to do to have healthy skin! And then theres those people who do nothing and are rewarded with flawless skin... Unfair! Thank you for...

I was on HBC for years, but firmly believe that it disrupts women's hormones and makes them more susceptible to acne in the long run. When I went off it, my body did not know how to self-regulate, and...

Hey sweets! Acne at your age is almost certainly the result of hormonal fluctuations. I second the advice of taking Vitex berry. You can also control the intensity of hormonal swings through diet by a...

Does anyone have any theories? we all know acne has a strong genetic component but the question is why would it be selected. I've heard the theory that acne is meant to keep the opposite sex away thro...

I have gotten a 30% glycolic acid peel on Amazon from Perfect Image, and it worked just fine and wasn't very expensive. I used it once every two weeks initially, then once a month to maintain. My skin...

I am not familiar with this procedure, but it really is an amazing difference! I will recommend it to my brother who has the exact same scarring on his cheeks! For boosting collagen production: consu...

I had acne as a youngster that cleared up during college. I basked in a brief honeymoon period of a few years, and BOOM unstoppable acne from age 23-24. I had no idea what was happening to me, and it ...

I have acne that is 100% food-related. However, just because eating junk does not make you break out does not mean that it's okay for your body. Epigenetics play a role in what food does to our bodies...
