The way I use baking soda is mixed inside my normal face wash(soap)(I use all natural face wash too). I mix baking soda in my shampoo and body wash as well. I only use natural soaps and I realize they don\'t make me feel very clean so I mix baking soda with them. I use quite of bit of baking soda. Make sure that you don;t scrub your face with just baking soda. Mix it first. You can use this remedy once a day or twice a day until your face clears up. I use it every day almost. The acne will clear up and then you can alternate between washing just with regular face soap and then the next time mixture of baking soda and soap. My face is clear. I haven\'t found a over the counter face moisturizer so I use regular cow butter. Sounds gross, but once I got clear skin, I only needed to moisturize it. Coconut oil made me break out. Do not leave butter on face for too long. I wash off thoroughly with regular face soap (not baking soda soap) and I feel great and I think I look great. I put the butter on my neck and massage my face. I\'m not a doctor and this may not work for anyone else. Butter has diminished my wrinkles.

I am in my early 30\'s and have struggled with face and body acne since my teens. I was put on a wide variety of drugs for a good part of my 20\'s but I knew they were just a band-aid and not dealing with the root cause (and they were waay expensive). I finally went off of them a few years ago and have been trying one thing after another to get this under control. After reading a bunch on your site at the beginning of this year this is what I have done: * Take ACV every morning.* Cook with coconut oil and drink in my tea throughout the day.* Stop using my \'acne pads\' that are very drying - I just learned from a former skin care consultant that these products are so drying that they can actually trigger the oil production response in your skin. What! That makes sense to me so I stopped about a month ago.* Each night I wipe my makeup off with a gentle face wipe and then I wipe my T Zone with Hydrogen Peroxide. It makes my skin feel SOOO clear and dry and smooth* Each morning after my shower I use a gently high quality moisturizer on my face.* The only other thing I have done in relation to my skin is that I cut out the greek yogurt I was eating everyday. Obviously I tried a lot of things at once so it is hard to tell what made the most difference. My heart tells me the biggest shifts came from the ACV the Hydrogen Peroxide and ditching the super-drying acne pads. Now that I am 2 months into this process I can\'t tell you how different my face looks and feels. No more deep cystic acne. Significantly reduced pimples, smaller pores, and the redness from years of other pimples is starting to fade. When I get a pimple here or there it is gone quickly and isn\'t nearly as painful. I do still believe I need to make more shifts in my diet for the acne to go away completely but I am SO pumped that these remedies are helping as much as they are. Thank you Earth Clinic!

Better but not cured for hormonal acne. Have used this for six months. If I drink several cups of this per week, I notice fewer breakouts. Although it did not cure my hormonal acne, I wouldn\'t be without it because the improvement is noticeable. Other thing that helps is either raw carrots consumed on an empty stomach and activated charcoal caps (they both do the same thing so take either/or.)

In the past 16 months I\'ve found things that help. Eating raw carrots OR carrot juice can help with acne considerably. According to Ray Peat (Google him), carrot fiber reduces amounts of toxins in the gut that contribute to hormonal acne. He also suggests that activated charcoal has the same effect. So, in this case, it\'s the fiber, and not the carotenoids that do the trick. On the other hand, we all know that vitamin A has an impact on acne, so carrots may help in that way too. I\'ve recently read a post by Ted that drinking carrot juice before meals lowers the blood sugar, which is interesting because carrots are a high sugar food. There is a strong correlation between high sugar levels in the blood and acne, so this might be the triple whammy. I keep a bag of organic baby carrots in the fridge and munch on them in the mornings (4-7 baby carrots - equivalent, I suppose, to one large carrot. ) Doing so has considerable improved my acne. When I get sick of eating carrots, I take a few activated charcoal caps in the morning instead. Lastly, when I\'ve neglected to do those things, and I break out terribly, I (after immediately incorporating those back into the diet) have had success in clearing up the acne quickly by rubbing a lemon over the breakout after washing my face, and before I go to sleep. (I have fair skin - the first night doing this, my face turns bright red.) Another thing that really helps me is drinking peppermint tea regulalry. Don\'t know why it works. I avoid soap, except for liquid castille. Coconut oil internally and externally did not help whatsoever. Liver support helped quite a bit - detoxing, N-A-C (600 mg day) and Milk Thistle (1, 000 mg 4 x day during breakouts) and this is another thing I do when I get the occassional bad breakout (usually after neglecting my carrots.) In my case, there is a strong gut/liver health component to my breakouts. Keep in mind that there are different causes. Middle aged women with hormonal acne may have a cause different from a teenage boy. I eat a low sugar diet, and that also helps. When I have bread (less than once per week), I usually get a zit within a few days. Rice doesn\'t seem to have this effect. I think that tomatoes could be a problem, still experimenting with that. Peanuts are a huge problem, as are any nut or seed oils that are mostly polyunsaturated fats. Eliminating those from my diet helped many things, including acne. Zinc helps, and I take it a few times per week. Rubbing the face with calamine lotion provides zinc and also dries out the pimples. And ice cube on a zit, held there for as long as possible, breaks down the tissue, and allows the body to remove the debris. I read this in an acne book a decade ago, and all I know is that it does help. That said, I have not completely cleared my acne but I also drink milk and coffee daily, so those may be contributing. Carrots (or charcoal), some zinc, avoiding polyunsatrated fats, drinking peppermint tea, and liver support vitamins have improved the condition by about 90%. Iodine makes my acne worse, and I am aware of the protocols to increase salt and other nutrients to reduce acne while on Lugol\'s. Things that haven\'t worked: Magnesium applied topically (but I think this works for teenage boys) Face masks Proactive Hydrogen Peroxide Coconut oil Castor oil (made acne much, much worse) tea tree oil applied topically B vitamins (but they work for other things) Probiotics I\'d just say yes to carrots first thing in the morning, or on an empty stomach, as a first step if you\'re dealing with adult acne.

I did not want to go on any meds and the dermatologist that I see does not like prescribing drugs.

I took two olive leaf capsules and two nettle leaves capsules in the morning and in the evening (although if your condition is very bad, you can take a dose at lunch, as well). I also took Green tea extract (either the herbal liquid tincture or herbs makes a liquid cap that works better than a powdered green tea capsule-- at least in my experience) a couple times a day.

Google this supplement to see if you think it will help you. I can tell you now, that most acne, especially the hormonal type is definitely caused by what\'s going on INSIDE the body - and applying stuff topically is not going to do a whole lot - you need to treat from the inside. I would not recommend Accutane/Roaccutane -- it\'s especially hard on the liver - a clean liver is ABSOLUTELY necessary for hormonal balance - the liver helps to detoxify hormones and eliminate them.

Because this is such a cheap and accessible item, and because I found glowing articles even on mainstream \'beauty\' sites and such, I had to add it here. I recall info about peels for warts but did not know it helped acne. I would suggest doing some reading online but essentially the method involves taking a fresh banana peel (yellow with brown spots works best, do not use green) and rubbing on the face for up to 10 minutes. The peel will get discoloured from rubbing on the face, and when that happens, new peel area should be used. Let this sit on the skin for some time. Some articles I read advised doing this up to 3 times per day. I have pointed my family member in this direction and will report on the results.
