I've come to realise that some people genetically struggle with detoxification, so break out due to environmental stress, internal stress etc. and any free radicals generally. Would take a supplement ...

Oh no! You must be super sensitive to sugar. What a shame as fruits are so high in antioxidants for fighting oxidation that causes acne; it is the oxidation of the squalene on the skin that starts off...

Hi, I don't think the problem is the fruit, but the amount you were consuming to reach 1000 calories in just one smoothie? I take a large handful of berries, 2 bananas and maybe an orange a day and...

It's worth bearing in mind though that some people lack the gene to convert beta-c into retinol!

Sometimes I have to be grateful for my acne, because if I pack my diet full of antioxidants and cut out sugar and coffee it clears up. That means I'm motivated to keep pumping my body full of nutritio...

I agree, I found no connection between fluoride and my acne. A similar story to the poster above, except I had the worst acne in Asia (due to air pollution and environmental stress) when I wasn't cons...

Try Doublebase moisturiser, which is amazing!

I've started using SunSense since the one I recommended above started burning my eyes!

I've also had massive success with Differin and it's kept my skin clear! The first thing to work long-term, ever!

Hi, Have you tried Differin? I had persistent low-grade acne and it has completely gone after 20 years of dealing with it! I'd tried all sorts before. I also find that BP is too drying and doesn't let...

I also got and stayed clear after 18 years of acne by using Differin! My skin became increasingly clear and after 3 months no spots at all. I am saving a fortune in products as only use a gentle face ...

Before and after pics. The before picture is obvious, the third picture is 2 weeks after focusing on diet and the middle picture (taken in different light) is after the topicals for 1.5 months. No mak...

Would definitely just add in The Ordinary Niacinamide and Zinc twice a day only then. It only costs 5gbp and made a huge impact on my oil production! It's very anti-inflammatory and has absolute minim...

I take 5mls on a medicine spoon of the Nordic. I notice that whenever I run out of Omega 3 my acne comes back - ESPECIALLY if eating lots of almonds. I can actually eat Omega 6 rich foods like nuts as...

Hi, there are a couple of other pills licensed for acne. One that seems to have good reviews online is Yaz. They can't prescribe you that? Dianette was a long time ago now, I just remember having p...

I read this again and noticed the link between possible adrenal fatigue, low pituitary activity, low oestrogen and your symptoms similar to menopause that you described. Might be worth focusing on wha...

Hi, Azelaic acid is good for this (15%+); works well in combination with Differin!

My doctor once told me that I could take it for 2 years max I believe. They let me take it a few years later again. The problem is that it's a very short-term fix as it's dangerous to take long term. ...

One of the best ingredients for reducing oil production is the Ordinary Niacinamide and Zinc. It's good for decreasing oil, as well as reducing inflammation. You could add that in the morning, along w...

If you've read any of my previous posts in Diet & Holistic Health, I am able to get my skin clear through strict nutrition, but moving around it is hard to keep up and after living in a polluted p...

Hi, whilst some intermittent fasting can have a positive effect on the body, you are going to be missing out on vital antioxidants and minerals your body needs to calm the acne. I would include at lea...
