[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 203718, member: 15043"] Here’s a reply I made to a guy about acne one time. I saved it so I wouldn’t have to write it out every time I gave someone advice on acne. Imo, if u feel as good as u do, I wouldn’t change a thing Here’s the reply I saved, Acne should be treated from within, first and foremost. U can also treat it externally, but 90% of ur efforts should be spent treating acne from within. Here’s the reply I wrote to the other guy Sounds like ur on the right track as far as getting ur acne under control. The main thing is definitely diet and lowering inflammation.
