My teen son had really bad cystic acne on his face and shoulders, where it's not just a simple pimple, it's a huge bump! An older friend confided in him that he had the same problem when he was a teen, and after the numerous prescriptions, etc failed, the Dr told him to try vitamin c --- and it worked!
So my son took the following each day:
2000 mg of C (we use timed release)
1 zinc (recommended by another friend)
1 A&D (great for inflammation, and make help heal the scars)
To reduce the redness on new pimples, he would apply the following:
1-2 Drops of Lavender & Tea Tree Oil with Diluted ACV (sprayed on back & shoulders)
Oh, and he also started using Castile Soap, just to be sure he wasn't using anything that would irritate it.
Within a few weeks he was very pleasantly surprised to have his acne disappearing!!
