Well, i’m 35 now. Started to breakout about 10 years ago.(i guest mine called adult acne). It comes and goes away.

I’ve tried everything: proactiv, scrubs, almost all topical treatments, expensive facials(afterwards got even worse, now i have acne scars), vitamin E,colloidal silver, homemade mask with oatmeal,masks with sandalwood, neem powder, indian healing clay, french clay, egg yolks, whites, honey.

Internally vitamin E, C, A, flax seed oil and evening primrose oil, cod liver oil, Zinc 50 mg up to 3 times a day for about 4 months, pretty much healthy diet: variety of juice; carrots, celery apple. Every single day, eat lots of fruits and vegetables. I avoid processed food, can food, coffee, alcohol, cigarettes and black tea, drink tons of water, and workout 4-5 times a weak. Year after a year i became more patient with my pimples, i don’t even stress out about it, i just deal with it.

I Still breakout. It’s got to be the FOOD. I believe (I’m positive) I’m allergic to some kind of food. (my guess is gluten(it’s everywhere),soy,wheat,corn,and vegetable oil).

COMMENT BY SEPPO

Gluten is a big issue for many acne victims. Gluten, dairy, soy and vegetable oils are usually the biggest culprits.

In your case I would do a food sensitivity test. Your doctor should be able to guide you.
