Supplements that actually help mitigate acne?

In all my research I've never come across ACV being referred to as an antiseptic. Antimicrobial yes, which is shown at the bottom of that screenshot.

good point. I haven’t done research on it. Just from memory. White vinegar and ACV are both acne treatments. Your probably right then…

I conjecture that White Vinegar is a bit more antiseptic and that ACV more antimicrobial.

I concur!

I have what I call "persistent" acne. It's not terrible, but being a 29-year-old with acne is still incredibly frustrating. I have tried proactive, other over-the-counter products and even visited several dermatologists, to no avail. Now I settled on products for the face from Cerava and constantly (2-3 times a week) use peeling with fruit acids. I did not go into details, but there is some unique substance of papaya and glutathione, and it brightens traces of acne and removes freckles, age spots

Excluding anything topical, are there any herbs/supplements that actually help with acne/bacne?

I recently started taking oral Neem. Anybody have any pointers to share?

Pantothenic Acid to the tune of around 8 gr/day (or more) used to really work well for me. Or maybe it was like 15 gr/day.

I suffered from lifelong acne that was exacerbated during a cycle...currently 55yo.

Finally went away after giving up dairy.

Acne for me was taken care of by constant showering. Morning, after the gym and before bed... but im a heavy sweater as well. Friend of mine swears by Liver and Organ Defender. He would get it across his jaw line and upper back. He has been pretty clear very mild out breaks. I know not everything works for everyone and I honestly haven't tried the product myself.

I have done Accutane and it will really dry your skin out. Have done B5 as well and it's okay. I agree that showering fairly quickly after exercise will do it, plus put some tea tree oil in my body wash helps too. Some guys are just acne prone it seems like.

I recommend that zinc is the best mineral and works as a supplement that can help you to cure your acne.

You need pure nutrition. Try to eat less chocolate, sweets, and spicy and fatty foods. I've reduced my cholesterol intake. I often got subcutaneous acne because of sweets. But I noticed that natural syrups like maple syrup have no effect on my skin. With vitamins B5 and C, you'll notice improvements in your skin, nails, and hair. My nails often grow into my skin, and my hair breaks. So I think carefully about my diet. It would be a good idea for you to come to the beauty salon for facial cleansing. I come for my nails to avoid ingrown nails. My girlfriend works at the salon, thanks to https://www.nwcollege.edu/programs/nail-technology. So I sign up for these treatments with her.

I've had success with retinoids but you do have to be careful as it can irritate skin and it can take 8-12 weeks before benefits are seen.
