Proactive, Murad, Acne.org products, and many over the counter washes did nothing for me. Clindamycin, Differin, Tretinoin, Benzoyl Peroxide body washes, creams and the like, I've used them all. All of the antibiotic pills and creams I've listed were prescribed through a dermatologist, which got costly and time consuming.
I've tried diets that "reduce" acne and I've used many home remedies. I've washed pillow cases religiously. I never used the same towel twice unless it was freshly washed.
Even all of these actions, many times in combination with each other, did very little. Some of them honestly did help a bit, but after a few months my acne just came back with a vengeance.
My acne is no where near extremely severe, I only have moderate/severe acne on my back and a bit on my chest. My face is fairly contained, as the Tretinoin and Differin cream seemed to shrink my pores at the cost of burned skin and horrible redness while on it. It's the price I had to pay, but luckily, my face is only mild and rarely moderate, so I never had it TOO bad to begin with.
What bugged me the most was my back. My back was like a battle ground (it looked like one too). NOTHING worked. Tretinoin cream worked occasionally, but would make me very itchy and uncomfortable. I never went to the beach and never took my shirt off. I was running out of hope. I was considering taking Accutane, which should be a person's very LAST resort. That stuff is very dangerous (an acquaintance of mine hung himself while on it). Stay away from it unless you really have no other choice, but keep in consideration it really does work. That stuff destroys acne and keeps it at bay, however, the side effects give you a lot to consider.
That was just to give you some background information. Now, I was introduced to B5 (Panthothenic Acid) through Clearzine (acne fighting pills that also use Vitamin B5 as the active ingredient), many of you have heard of it. Clearzine was quite expensive and hard to buy, and it was only sold by 60 pills per bottle. Not the best financial purchase, as these pills should be taken upwards 5 a day for mild acne. You'd be out of a bottle before you know it, your acne would come back (if it even worked for you) and you'd be missing a good chunk of change.
But THIS stuff. This stuff destroyed 80% of my acne. My back is perfectly clear, now I just have to deal with the years of scars. It's incredible. I even got my girlfriend a bottle because she was amazed by how clear my back got and she struggles with mild acne as well. I have more energy cause of taking this, and I never have to worry about any nasty side-effects since it's water-soluble (anything unused is just excreted through your urine). If you look through some other reviews, you'll see how this stuff actually works and why it's so amazing. But honestly, if you were suffering like I was, 250 pills for this price is a very small price to pay for what it could possibly do for you.
For me, it started working within a week, but for other people it takes a few weeks, up to 3, so don't give up hope. I started taking 4 pills a day (while taking Clearzine I only took 2 pills a day, and that did little to nothing for me), then bumped it up to 6 or 8 pills a day when my acne flared up. It may sound like a lot to take, and trust me, I thought so too, but this stuff works in bulk. It's perfectly safe, I've done a lot of research before taking such a large amount of a Vitamin daily because I was worried about the health risks as well. You can take up to 10 grams (20 pills) a day and theoretically be fine, however, I don't suggest you take more than 3 grams, unless it's EXTREMELY severe acne. Honestly, just give it a shot. I'm very happy I did because my acne is very close to being gone (the remaining acne is usually because I touch my face a lot and it's just a very bad habit that makes acne so much worse). This is the best my skin has looked and felt in years.
Disclaimer: I also drink only water (occasionally milk or orange juice) mainly because ever since doing so my skin is more "fresh" and manageable. My acne got much better after drinking a lot of water. I also started using Salicylic Acid body washes (my favorite is St. Ives), and I can honestly say those helped a ton too. They're mild enough to fight acne while gently exfoliating your skin. Be careful which brand you choose as Neutrogena and Clearasil don't work that well, at least in my experience. St. Ives did wonders for me.
Ultimately, everybody's acne struggle is different. You can't give up. Acne is debilitating, trust me I know. But it CAN go away. Either you wait it out till your early mid-twenties (if you're still fairly young like me, that is), or you do all you can to fight it. It took me over 5 years, but I think I'm finally winning. I hope you can too.
Been suffering from Cystic Acne and just acne period my whole life (extreme oily skin). I have tried every over the counter and prescription options available but nothing really worked for me. So I figured I should start trying more natural/diet options to see if that helps clear up my skin. Please note I am not a doctor. This regime appears to be working for ‘me’ .
1. Detox : I take a teaspoon of Diatomaceous Earth food grade and mix that in water. That removes toxins, and parasites that can live in a humans body for years based upon the research I’ve read online. Look it up!
(2 times a week) usually at night and first thing in the AM
2. Apple Cider Vinegar (2 times a week) usually at night and first thing in the AM
3. Throw out all old (longer than 1 year cooking utensils and switched to more chrome based cooking ware. Getting more in the habit of throwing away old things that wear down because you may end up eating the plastic that’s in a spatula or even the material in a non stick frying pan.
Glass Cups and Glass plates. I rinse off everything even if it was in the dishwasher.
Change bed rooms sheets at least 3 times a week. Seems a little OCD but it’s working. I have a million towels too.
Again seems OCD but constantly reusing things can lead to injesting chemicals or dirt getting in your pores.
4. Herbal Skin Care Supplements Dosage
Zinc Supplements (1) 50 MG
Pantothenic (1) 500 MG
Biotin (1) 10,000 MCG
Flaxseed Oil (1) 1200 MCG
Twice a week.
On days not taking Supplements listed above I do a Colon Cleanse (at 4pm) gives body 4 hours to digest
Now the hardest but definitely IMO the acne killer.
Mental Supplements and Diet (non dairy)
5. Mental Supplements (If you are using something stick with it!!) it takes time to heal a brain from depression,anxiety, ADHD and good old STRESS so just give it time. For me I would say I noticed a change instantly with Mental Supplements like my brain was craving a boost and I noticed changes.
Side effects for me was I was processing so many things that my short term memory took a hit initially so I would lose things(phones, bookbags, keys) things that I literally just had in my possession then i would leave them behind. Thank GOD I noticed it and was able to recover those lost items..lol Now i don’t lose things as much and plus I’m able to handle more tasks.
For me:
Mental Supplements (They all seem to work for me pick the best once’s based upon reviews)
NuroPeak
Ginkgo Biloba
Ashwagandha 300 MG (take 2 or 3 depending on now bad your mental issues are)- they sell it at Whole Foods or here on Amazon. You know the drill order the one with the best reviews. I take mine at night. It’s a miracle worker. Can’t say enough how much this supplement helps with overthinking and starting something and ‘finishing’ things and skin inflammation. it does it all!!!
6. Skin Care Diet
I had to give up SOME dairy but my cheat days don’t seem to bother me because i try and stick to organic dairy ‘cheat foods’ ie. ice cream, pizza, yogurt.
Outside of my cheat days no more regular dairy or even organic dairy milk or cheese for me. I switched to Almond, Soy and even Rice Milk. I switch it up and mix it in any brand cereal to hide the taste.
Milk was my biggest trigger for acne. It was something with the animal hormones in the milk plus when I’m stressed those hormones mixed with my stress didn’t play well and I would always get a painful cycstic acne. IMO a burger with vegan cheese still tastes like a burger..lol I’m sure some people will say otherwise but when you haven’t had a burger in 2-3 weeks I guarantee that vegan cheese won’t taste as bad. Plus now they mix it with coconut oil and it really tastes good.
Bread- Non Dairy Bread. Not really a big bread consumer but again toasted bread with peanut butter still tastes the same to me on non-dairy bread.
7. Goes without saying, no soda, plenty of water, plenty of sleep and plenty of exercise (ie. sweating and doing activities that force you to jump up and down or if you can’t jump then try this. From a standing position start to gradually sit down on the floor then once sitting on the floor stand back up. That little exercise seems to work pretty good for the core. Adjust the speed at your own pace of course but the faster you do it the more you will feel the burn.
Please monitor supplements when mixing with prescription drugs. I got sick one time and found out the Pantothenic didn’t play well with some prescriptions. So listen to your body and maybe do the mental supplements in the morning, diet supplements in the afternoon and prescriptions at night or vice versa. Some days I skip the mental supplements but I never skipped diet supplements. Listen to your body and give it a chance to heal itself. Remember the goal should be to always get off prescriptions if at all possible.
Skin Care Tip: I like all charcoal based cleaners those appear to be working miracles for my oily skin.
Aveno lotions work well for my skin. Recently bumped into this BioOil product on amazon and its slowly removing dark spots. Only use that at night because of a somewhat noticeable fragrance. For me I can deal with some things if the end results are clear skin being in a better mood and more engaged in life.
It’s a new year (2018) hopefully this review helps someone with cystic acne or acne period or suffers from genetic concentration issues. I have not removed all dairy from my diet but I would say I removed about 90% of all dairy from my diet and just have cheat days. There’s no such thing as a quick fix which is why I shared my entire routine. I’ll give everyone an update around March 2018 and let you know if things are still going well or not.
Good Luck
—————-
30days since ordered product review
Figured I would give another review prior to March since I just completed 2 major presentations to a large audience and attended a major conference. All within 3 back to back weeks. By now I would of definitely have a cycst flare up. Not one appeared!!! The ultimate test is tomorrow when I will be video recorded which usually triggers something the next day.
This stuff works! I’m still sticking to my non dairy diet. Surprisingly it’s wasnt that bad because almond milk and rice milk actually tastes okay after awhile.
When I go out i make sure I ask for no cheese or order foods with no cheese or dairy. For those of you who eat properly, exercise regularly (keep doing what your’re doing) but I strongly recommend adding these supplements to your routine !!!!
