Yes, I am an Acne Sufferer myself. I used "A LOT" of home remedies.. blah blah blah.. none seem to REALLY help. I stopped using Benzoyl Peroxide because i slowly got allergic to it. So ALL benzoyl peroxide products are out of the picture. Which means " all "the effective products out there such as Proactive, Clean and Clear.. blah blah blah.. NONE nada. so I turned to Sasylic acid products.......it didn't really help.. but it's better than nothing...

Now I am going to start taking Zinc Supplements, it doesn't have a proven effect on acne.. but i'll see. Take a 50mg everyday should help. zinc is in the treatment and prevention of acne. Zinc in the form of zinc gluconate or zinc sulfate is thought to help heal acne blemishes, reduce inflammation caused by acne, and reduce androgenic hormonal effects on skin that contribute to acne breakouts or in other words help regulate the skin鈥檚 oil gland activity.

Tea Tree oil can really dry out your skin, but it does sorta help. just apply it topically on the acne. Also, make sure that she is drinking at LEAST 8 cups of water aday. that REALLY makes a difference, watch your diet. Don't eat things that have too much oil, avoid food like... fries, chips... etc. Also, Caffeine is a contributor to acne as well, so try not to drink any caffeinated products..which also means, no coke , no energy drinks, no coffee, no mocha....etc.

Wash your face at least twice a day, depending on how oily your face gets. That should help.
