Very easy to fix your hormonal acne. From what you described you're getting acne on your T-zone which is indicative it is hormonal acne. You mentioned you're trying a healthier diet, which is a good t...

Zinc picolinate is much easier absorbed by the body. I take 50 mg zinc picolinate daily.

Thank you so much for your quick response! And yes, I will try to be as detailed as possible with recording my food intake. If you don't mind me asking, how quick did you see improvements? And what ty...

I like your idea to record your foods you eat here! I went pretty much on a paleo diet myself and cured my acne (with supplementation). One tip I recommend is to start drinking protein powders. Whey...

You're taking out a lot of nutrition and good fiber by taking out the pulp! I wish I had a vitamix - plan on buying one soon. But I would eat all of the veggie pulp: The fiber tremendously helps with ...

low carb is why.. just like me, when i cut out pretty much all carb sources except low gi veggies. i clear up, but its not sustainable, you will feel like shit and depressed without carbs. even if you...

According to darwinism we evolved from apes to homo sapiens about 100,000 years ago. Think your behind on times. But really, start eating some lean meat and beans at least dude. Bananas are dank I...

Banana's are a very high GI food. You're really stressing your body if all your eating is banana's; and acne is a symptom of that. I would start eating vegetables, grass-fed meats, beans, nuts, seed...

I've begun eating better and drinking more water the last couple of weeks. Cut out soda entirely and cut waaaaay back sugar, cut down on carbs, drinking five or so glasses of water a day. I've also be...

Want to get rid of your acne forever? Start curing it internally! All these chemicals, lotions, and potions will never CURE the root cause of what is causing acne. Just how like how Tylenol doesn't cu...

Taking vitamins alone won't really help your acne much, but it will definitely help your overall health which may or may not help your acne. What you have to do is figure out WHAT is causing the infla...

Nope. Dry skin is a nutritional deficiency. You're not getting enough of your EFA's, and by the rare chance you actually are supplementing your omega's 3's/6's you may not be absorbing them. Start tak...

I know this might sound odd...but could it be possible that the salmon I've been eating for the last few days is causing my acne to become worse? I realized the salmon I've been eating is farm raised,...

Very sorry to hear that they robbed you of your appendix. I find it incredible that people think they know the human body so well that they can just cut you open and remove entire organs - Insane! It'...

Since you're young, I can bet you your acne is most likely androgenic. The way to solve androgenic acne is by changing your diet. Let me guess what you probably eat. Grains: Bread, pancakes, donuts,...

When some people go gluten free, they end up eating other alternatives than can end up being worse than gluten. Whats your average meal consist of?

I do lots of my own research don't you worry. Doctors don't all have bad intentions, it's just alot only have textbook knowledge and treat their diagnostic manuals as if they are the Holy Bible  ...

You can call me a Accutane basher. In fact, I bash on all pharmaceutical drugs - They're toxic! Literally, toxic to your system. I'm very sorry to hear what you are going through. Accutane is one hell...

Antibiotics never cures acne, only temporarily hides it. Once you're finished, I would recommend for you to take high doses of probiotics. Since the antibiotics wipe out all the bacteria, the good and...

You know nothing about me or my educational background. Nor do you know anything about my academic knowledge on this particular subject. I promise you I am not misinformed. However, it does appear you...

It seems like you're doing very well with your diet and life style. I wouldn't be afraid of the sun because the sun is extremely good for you (given that you are not burning). 20-30 min of sun exposur...

There's always going to be people like SanJoseSkin who are completely misinformed. Vitamins and minerals are required for every cell in your body (over 50 trillion). Most people are vitamin/mineral/fa...
