What are the best supplements to take for Acne? Maybe Collagen capsules?

[Anonymous]

have COMBINATION Skin, so it isn't as simple as choosing products for dry or oily.

Mine is both dry and oily.

I try to exfoliate daily which doesn't seem to help much, just makes my skin look a bit lifeless when done daily.

I thought about taking collagen capsules as i heard they help with clearing skin. Does anyone have any experience with this or any better capsules?

I grew up with the worst acne, and perhaps today the face washes have really improved, but I found the following to have the greatest impact on my skin:

1) Diet. I refused to believe this growing up because I simply loved sugar and candy and pop. But all sugar and candy and bread will impact your skin. That's just the way it is. The Native American's didn't have bad skin in this country until they were introduced to process sugar and wheat and beer.

So if you really have issues try this one month challenge... I promise it's worth it.

- Eat only meat, fish, eggs, veggies and fruit. Cut out all sugar, wheat, breads and cereals. When you're body no longer has high levels of insulin your skin will dramatically improve.

2) Keep your skin clean, obviously, maybe twice a day, but don't over soap your face. It dries it out and destroys much of the healthy bacteria that grows on your skin.

3) Use moisturizer immediately after washing to keep the skin moist and healthy. And I recommend non-perfume moisturizer. I've had great luck with this one: Glaxal www.acne.org/.../

4) Don't be afraid to ask your doctor about it. I didn't find the basic pill and ointments did anything, but there was a super drug called ACCUTANE that clear'd me up in one month. My skin became super dry though but being without acne for the first time was amazing. It has limited side-effects, non of which I experienced. But it was pricy for me way back in the day.

Good luck!

collagen will just prevent wrinkle formation and will maintain you skin's elasticity... use brewers yeast caps to deal with acne

If it is prolonged talk to a dermatologist about Roaccutane. I had it about 9 and it cleared up now.
