That stuff worked like a MIRACLE. ALL of my acne disappeared while I was on it. It dried my skin out something horrible but it was worth it. I still get acne now and then but it is nowhere near even close as bad as before. And contrary to some people's beliefs, popping zits will not spread them. Most of the time when I pop them, they clear up within a day or two instead of continuing to fester. Sometimes though it will make that zit worse, but overall it takes care of them. Take it from me. I've dealt with acne for 11 years and my mother for most of her life so we have about 40 years between us.

That's a hell of a lot of b5. I think you could have 1.5 grams and be fine.

Accutane will not cure it... Most causes of acne are damaged kidneys/liver because the waste isn't goin the right way.. Not having enough stools, etc... And the waste comes out through pores... When the pores have oil on it and the waste comes out, bacteria gets attracted to waste because it's food for them, and then it sits in your pores and clogs them even more... They soon divide and multiply their numbers goin up to numbers of 960% over just one night...

At first your body can kill them for a couple of months because it finds them as an intruding bacteria... Then it keeps getting worse and worse due to weakened immune system and worsened state of liver/kidneys... Also because your immune system says "if this stuff was on my face and it didnt kill me in that long, it won't kill me, ill ignore it and find something more dangerous that I should be worried out" and it starts to ignore acne almost completely..

Btw, im just wondering, aren't you brown or black? How do you get acne? I've never seen a black guy with acne before..

Your 3 tips are pretty good, also another tip is to go see a dermatologist, the fastest the soonest.. It's usually easier to control at the begining than once it starts to break out really bad..
