Help me 4chan. How do I get rid of acne? I'm 22 and still have acne on my face. I've used exfoliants, I change my pillow cases pretty often, wash my face twice a day and I'm suspecting that it has something to do with my habits.
What food should I eat more? What should I avoid or stop?
All advices are welcome.

Accutane

pic related is me. before and after Tretinoin, a face cream that makes acne peel off. unfortunately it doenst cure acne, just get rid of it, so i still wasnt able to eat most foods, i couldnt touch my face, and spent most of my day applying moisturizers or this or that to help combat acne.
i took accutane and now i look like the 'after' pic 24/7. its changed my life.

Do this:
>wash your face with cold water every time it feels sweaty
>wash your hair more often
>replace all drinks with water
>drink more water
>stop smoking and drinking booze
>stop masturbating
>stop eating shit like candy, chips and pizza
>eat more vegetables
>stop touching your face
avoid dairy products and anything that contains milk, cocoa, coffee. eat more vegetables, mostly carrots or get some medicine that contains benzoili peroxydum or tetracyclini. now i'm just waiting to get the retinoids therapy but i don't know if you can get these everywhere
150 to 250 mg of zinc per day
4000 UI to 10,000 UI of Vitamin D per day
should see good improvement after a few weeks
accutane low dose, long term; 10mg every two or three days, side effects are negligible, the clearing effects are extremely powerful.
stop fapping/having sex in general, this is extreme but many guys notice improvement
It's possible you may be washing it too much. Sometimes overwashing causes the natural oils to become unbalanced. I always seem to break out after exfoliating, myself. Stress is bad for it too.
A dermatologist would really know best, though.

See a fucking medical professional to start. Your skin is the largest organ of your body it's smart to get checked out by a dermatologist every so often.
General advice mine has given me
>no dairy
>cut out sweets as much as possible
>smoking (cigarettes) if you do doesn't help
Also you might be washing your face/showering too much, but really again the only person that can tell you this stuff accurately is a dermatologist.

this is an important one that I don't see mentioned much. acne comes from bacteria. bacteria feeds on sugar. eat less sugar, have less acne.
if you have mainly chin zits, taking a vitamin B complex should help too. that used to work for me whenever the rest of my face looked ok but my chin looked like baghdad.
also if you're not already doing the pillowcase thing, start doing that. basically either change your pillowcase every day or lay a clean towel or cloth over your pillow every night. that way you're not re-depositing oil and bacteria and shit back onto your face every night.

Have you tried not washing your face with soap more than once every 2 days only with good soap (dove is the worst shit ever made) ? Then putting body/face lotion Without Perfume without alcohol.
When you have acne you don't want to kill bacterias and shit, you want your skin to stop producing excess fat because it's irritated/removed by diverse agents. When it's in a normal state, it will be able to withstand peeling and shit.
> Me very dry skin and acne until age 23
Can be due to candida albicans in the intestines and spicy food, just suggesting
I had bad acne but ever sense I've been using these pads theyve helped alot and you can them at rite Aid or Safeway

mine was real bad and i went on accutane and it all cleared up. My problem was that before going on accutane i washed my face twice a day, exfoliated every so often but didnt moisturise and it dried my skin out so my body compensated with oil. Try staying hydrated and moisturising after each facial wash for like a month or something and if you see no change try and get an appointment with a derm asap
Am 22 too. Went on Accutane in highschool. Best shit EVER. Cleared my insane cystic acne after a 5 month coarse. Though it also left me with perma dry lips... wooorth it. Go get some.
Drink loads of fucking water, get GOOD sleep, and eat right.
Exfoliate your face 3 times a week, you'll be good. Benzoyl peroxide for when you have them.

Go see a dermatologist, check for food allergies.
