Stridex pads, Oxy pads, Swiss apricot scrub, probably 5 different types of Clearasil, all varieties of that white spot-treatment cream you put on at night...
More recently I've tried the hippy route and experimented with different combinations of castor oil, grapeseed oil, jojoba oil, coconut oil, the cod liver oil / butter oil blend...
I've tried washing it once a day, twice a day, after each meal, every other day, two days a week, once a week on Mondays at 8:00 am sharp...
I've also tried for as long as I can remember to find a dietary connection to acne. First I thought it was dairy, then gluten, then alcohol, then carbs, then vegetable oils. There were several occasions when I would eat super healthy for weeks and struggle with acne, then go out and party one night, stay up late and drink alcohol, and wake up the next morning with a face clearer than I'd seen in weeks. What gives??

| Never mind the hair... focus on the acne. It wasn't excessive, but it was just enough to be a problem. I can remember this night specifically... it definitely ruined my confidence. No one wants to deal with that. |
In the end, after all those years of experimentation and wasted money, I ended up right back where I began... frustrated, confused, and clueless...
...until recently. I've been experimenting with something for several months now, since early November, that has worked extremely well for me. It hasn't cleared up my skin completely, but it's made a big difference. I rarely break out anymore, but even when I do get the rare pimple here and there, it'll be gone in just a day or two. It's pretty incredible.
