Acne is a difficult condition to get rid of, mostly due to malpractice by the 'professionals' and a ton acne 'cure' information that gets you nowhere fast...
I tried the usual dermatologist route when first trying to get rid of my acne. This meant I used BP, topical antibiotics and other over-the-counter topicals which did nothing but irritate my skin. After months of this I went on oral antibiotics, which worked for a few weeks, but then my acne came back. I then went on the drug roaccutane, and to make a long story short, it took a year to find out it didn't work!
After this my dermatologist had nothing left to offer me...
So next I spent years trying alternative acne treatments, and unfortunately these were mostly ineffective. Acupuncture, Herbalism, Homeopathy, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Indian Medicine, Fasting, and many others. The fast I went on was the Acne Free In 3 Days one where you eat nothing but apples for 3 days...Suffice to say this wasn't a good acne solution.
So how did I eventually clear my acne. Well, I recently discovered that food plays a big part in acne. Some foods actually cause acne, and by removing those from your diet you can reduce the acne you get dramatically.
For example, did you know that the worst food for acne, which actually causes the worst breakouts, is vegetable oils like sunflower oil?! When I removed vegetable oil from my diet I can't tell you how much my acne improved. I suggest you do the same!
