"Acne vulgaris (commonly called acne) is a common skin condition, caused by changes in the pilosebaceous units, skin structures consisting of a hair follicle and its associated sebaceous gland via androgen stimulation. It is characterized by noninflammatory follicular papules or comedones and by inflammatory papules, pustules, and nodules in its more severe forms. Acne vulgaris affects the areas of skin with the densest population of sebaceous follicles; these areas include the face, the upper part of the chest, and the back. Severe acne is inflammatory, but acne can also manifest in noninflammatory forms.[1] Acne lesions are commonly referred to as pimples, blemishes, spots, zits, or acne."

ACNE TIED TO DIGESTION

1 YEA

[YEA]  12/04/2007: Raquelle from Auckland, New Zealand writes: "I have suffered acne most of my life....now I have majorly linked it to my digestive track .........I have also suffered constipation aswell. so if you have acne , have a look at how well your digestive system has been working ....everytime I have pimples return I find I have been constipated. Some of the best bowel movers are ...coconut oil(organic) used as butter etc..flax seeds in yoghurt(yummy way) peaches are very high in fiber ...oh and water water. and externally , there is some excellent cures on this website. ALso lemon juice (avoiding the eyes) is an excellent toner. Cider vinegar rinse. and also manuka honey can be steamed in with hot flannel till it disappears into your skin and is very antibacterial ! Also salt is great if you put in the basin with your face rinsing water , for helping all heal up. For skin internally can be fish oils , zinc healing scarring. Vit c . these I find are some of the best vitamins."

ACNE TIPS


06/10/2009: Janine from Hacienda Heights, CA writes: "I am an aesthetician and treat acne clients on a regular basis. The first thing I teach my clients is how to wash their face. When washing your face use a good quality product and apply it using a light hand, don't press or push to hard. You do not want to stimulate more oils by pressing to hard. Use a very light touch in circular motions for 1 to 2 minutes. Yes, 1 or 2 minutes, you want to cleanse the skin and the pores. Always use a clean wash cloth with warm (not hot) water to rinse your face. It is important to use a wash cloth to pick up the oils from the face as well as exfoliating . (this is one thing I find that most of my acne clients don't do), but when you think of it we use some kind of cloth to wash our dishes, our cars, or the counter top. Washing in the morning and evening should be enough. So make sure you have plenty of clean wash cloths on hand."



06/28/2009: Ellen from Toronto, ON replies: "To add to the previous post regarding washcloths: baby wipes work great for removing makeup/washing face/exfoliating and are disposable!"

[YEA]  04/08/2006: Glen from Phoenix, AZ writes: "At 51, I continue to have the occasional pimple, often on my nose, sometimes on my lower lip or elsewhere. Recently, while doing some yard work, I accidentally sliced a piece of aloe vera from a plant. Having heard about its medicinal value, I tried applying the sap on a fast growing pimple on my lower lip. I reapplied the invisible sap four times in the course 24 hours, and twice the next day. The pimple just evaporated. I've since tried it repeatedly with the same results. I'm delighted. This was must faster than anything I've experienced before. My garden aloe is free. Like I said, the sap is invisible. There is an initial odor, but it fades quickly. I recommend trying it."

ALOE VERA AND APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

[YEA]  10/04/2007: Martha from Lawrenceville, GA writes: "I've always had trouble with acne -- I could never get my skin completely under control. ACV helped -- taking it internally -- but I still broke out in a monthly cycle. I started using aloe vera gel on my face a few weeks ago, and my skin has cleared up dramatically. I've not had one breakout, and my skin is getting to be so pretty! I just use a generic aloe vera gel that I picked up in the drugstore."

I have had moderate to severe acne since I was 13 (I am now 37), and have tried everything under the sun to diminish it. Some things have helped more than others, but this is the first time my skin has felt so good and looked so good in almost 25 years!"

ALOE VERA AND MILK THISTLE

2 YEA

[YEA]  10/01/2007: Atoya from Washington DC writes: "I just recently started to develop acne after my 25th birthday, before I would have a pimple or two only around the time of my cycle. Since then I have basically tried everything I could get my hands on over the pass eight months or so to rid myself of this embarrassing ailment. One day on one of my usual quests to find a real cure, I went to the Vitamin Shoppe looking for some type of multi-vitamin, hoping that I would find justice. An elderly Sales man, who was very knowledgeable, told me that my liver was full of toxins and Milk Thistle and Aloe Vera would clear my ailment right up. I took 200mg of Milk Thistle a day and 1 capsule of Aloe Vera and it did just that. After about a week later, I could see a huge difference - no breakouts. Your bowel movements will become more and more frequent which is what helps to release the build up of toxins in your body. He told me to take it for about 2 months and I should be okay. I still keep some on hand but at a lower dosage since my initial cleanse, I take 70mg (a lower dosage) two to three times a week for maintenance. It is not good to take any type of herb for an extended period of time unless recommended by your physician. Believe me, this inexpensive concoction is a sure-fire way to rid you of all of your stubborn acne."



[YEA]  06/13/2009: Molly from Rocky Mount, NC, USA replies: "I have struggled with weight issues since childhood. I can look sideways at a piece of cheesecake and gain five pounds. However, this all change recently with the addition of this wonder supplement to my diet. A few months ago, I began a popular portion-control diet that is low in fat. In 9 weeks, I'd lost 12 lbs. I then added a new fat blocker to my regimen. I began noticing quicker results with weight loss BUT I still suffered from low energy levels, yeast overgrowth, severe cystic acne... among other ailments. Searching for acne remedies here on earth clinic, I read one lady's entry which advocated the use of aloe vera and milk thistle. In the past week, after consuming approx. 10oz of Aloe Vera Juice per day, taking 250mg of milk thistle with each meal, and washing my face with apple cider vinegar water, I feel like a new person! In the past week, my acne has healed about 60%, my vision is clearer, I don't need massive amounts of stimulants to wake me up in the morning, my eczema is vanishing, I have plenty of energy, my dry and cracking heals have begun to heal, and I've lost 6lbs!"

ANTI-BACTERIAL HANDWASH

1 YEA

[YEA]  02/25/2007: Anon from Perth, Australia writes: "I have tried several things to attempt to aid my pimples since the age of 13 (I am now 16). Over the counter products, home remedies and even Proactive. But just recently i have started washing my face morning and night with Palmolive anti-bacterial handwash, which was about 3-4 australian dollars, and can be found at any grocery store. I started to see small improvements the following morning, and within that same week almost all of my pimples had vanished. I was also using Bio-Oil, which I think is around 20 australian dollars for a 60mL bottle and can be found at any chemist or pharmacy, as a moisteriser because it reduces the appearance of acne scars. It has been about a week that i have been using this regemine, my skin is a lot better, my scars are less visable though I have just a few pimples left. I am also thinking of using an anti-bacterial facial cleanser instead of the handwash, but I'll keep you updated about everything. I don't recommend that you use the handwash more than twice a day, once in the morning and once at night, because it could dry your skin out and don't use the Bio-Oil on broken skin. I also recommend that you use a moisteriser in conjunction with the handwash. A couple more things to add: try to avoid touching your face when not necessary, if you pick or pop a pimple(which I don't recommend) immediately wash the area with the handwash and wash your hands with the handwash before and after washing your face, to avoid spreading bacteria. If you have any questions don't hesitate to email me and don't forget to leave me feedback!"

ANTIBIOTIC OINTMENT

2 YEA
1 NAY

[YEA]  05/08/2008: Lindsey from Detroit, Michigan writes: "I sort of figured this one out on my own awhile ago, but it's nice to know I wasn't being weird by using it. I've used Neosporin (or some other such product) to treat my break-outs for the past few months and it's worked wonders. I never really suffered from acne as a teen, nor are my break-outs widespread, but the few that I do get at a time still make me stress out and feel a little insecure. My skin is also prone to scarring, so every time I got one, I would have a double stressor, "Oh great, even if it goes away I may still have a scar!" Since acne is pretty much a bacterial infection, I figured "Why not try some Neosporin!" It worked the first time, and it's worked every time. The ointment kills the bacteria, reduces the swelling and redness, prevents them from hurting (mine are usually around where my glasses rub), and also helps reduce scarring. Why not try it! People that say the bacteria will develope a resistence to it are only half-right. Yes, if you use it everyday over your entire face, it will eventually stop working. But if you only get a few sports every so often, why not use something quick and easy that most everyone has in the house?! If you are still worried about making super-bacterias on your face, just do what I do: apply it twice a day (morning and night) until the spot is COMPLETELY gone (should take about 2-3 days tops). Again, I wouldn't recommend this treatment for people that have severe acne, but for "on the spot" cures, it work wonders."

[NAY]  10/02/2007: Max from Richmond, VA writes: "NAY for Antibiotic ointment to treat acne; While this does initially get rid of any blemishes present on your face, the bacteria in the pimples gradually develops a resistance to the antibiotic, and the acne becomes harder to treat with anything, and you break out more."

Then i started reading up about acne and found that it is caused by a bacteria that forms inside the pores/hair follicles (whatever you wanna call it) and applied some antibiotic ointment to the face and back. and it has worked in only 2/3 days. even lightening the dark spots a bit."

Within the last 5 years I took processed sugar out of my diet completely which cleared up most of my acne, but I still had occasional breakouts and my skin had small bumps especially on my cheeks. I started using organic ACV as a topical astringent after washing my face in the morning and evening over my whole face. Within 2 days my skin was very smooth. Within 2 weeks my skin was glowing. Friends and family noticed the imporvement in my skin texture. ACV works wonders."

05/03/2009: Samlaunch from Knoxville, Tennessee writes: "I stumbled onto this website yesterday afternoon and happened to have some apple cider vinegar (ACV) sitting somewhere in my apartment. Well, after reading about the acne/stomach/flu cure, I looked high and low for the gallon of the ACV; found it sitting on the top of my refrigerator. Immediately, poured some into a cup and drank it raw and then proceeded to the bathroom to splash some on my face and neck. Within 12 hours, whatever acne there was, shriveled up and died an ignominious death, my stomach feels like a million dollars, and my appetite has returned in force due to me being a tall drink of water which equivalates to thin. I don't have the flu but have taken the ACV as a precautionary measure. Thanks for common sensical information. The link to this website has been given to my friends. Everyone here is the best! Your Friend, Sam"

[YEA]  05/02/2009: Amber from Buffalo, MN writes: "Acne: Using Apple Cider Vinegar. Get a spray bottle ( any size works). Mix 1 tsp of Apple Cider Vinegar to 10 tsp of water in spray bottle. Use 2 times a day after washing the face or infected area. Before applying, make sure you shake the bottle. Keep away from eyes and lips. It will put moisture into your skin as well. Do not put lotion on area where you have used the acv/h20 mix. Do not over exceed the amount of vinegar as it can burn your face. Once your skin gets used to the amount of vinegar, slightly increase it."

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  03/10/2009: Teri from Cedar Springs, Michigan writes: "Question - My son 18yrs. has had an acne problem for years now, face and body. Have seen some results with ACV over the past 30-40 days. Seems to be at a standstill with further results. Believe he has Candida. Will start him on the H2O2 regimen. Wondered; can or should he take other things to clear up the Candida like Caprylic acid, Oil of Oregeno, Garlic. Naturally because of his age he is busy and not always wanting to cooperate. Plus he is skeptical after many meds over the years. Can he take more than one of these remedies? What would be the best/simplest for him to get rid of his acne? Sure would appreciate what you think."

But after about two weeks, my skin started to become very oily and the acne was getting worse. If it was just the acne getting worse I might of stuck through it because I guess that's normal, but since my skin was getting so oily, I stopped. Didn't work for me."

[QUESTION]  01/25/2009: Madison from Winchester, VA writes: "Hi I'm Madison (18) and I have been suffered from moderate acne since i was 15 or so and it seems that now being on the pill it has relatively helped my acne but once it hits a week before my period, my face breaks out majorly. So I've been reading about how ACV has really preformed miracles on many acne sufferers, so I have decided to suffer drinking this horrible tasting drink for awhile and see if it'll work for me as well. But I have one question? is it ok to be drink Apple Cider Vinegar Natural by White House. I wasn't quite sure on the differences of organic and natural. Thanks for taking the time to read this!! -Madi"



07/12/2009: Jeremiah from San Diego, California replies: "The difference between natural and organic is that sometimes a product can be natural with nothing added to the product (i.e. only ACV without preservatives, etc), yet be grown using conventional farming techniques. Organic means that it is grown by USDA Organic Farming Measures, meaning no herbicides, pesticides, or anything else that can harm a person. Earth Clinic should have a better description of what I mean, but that pretty much sums it up. Organic is always best."

[NAY]  01/06/2009: Kassandra from Grand Praire, Tx writes: "HI , I have been drinking 2 table spoons of raw organic apple cider vinegar mixed with 1 tbs of pure maple syrup in a 16 oz glass of water every night for the past 3 weeks, And My skin has not cleared up, And I've Read that it probably won't clear up in the beginning because it is pushing out a lot of toxins in your body through your skin, I guess my question is how long does it take before you start seeing results?, And also What else can I do that would help clear up my skin? I have a big sweet tooth, sugar is my weakness, i've made a lot of cutbacks , But should I cut sugar out completely? I want clear healthy radiant skin, And Willing to do anything to get it. Thanks!"



01/06/2009: Sandy from In the sticks, Nevada replies: "When my family went sugar free for 6 months, my teens' skin cleared up. It is tough to eat healthy and give up sugar, but if you can do it for six months several things will happen. . .

1. You will realize how addicted you were to the stuff,
2. Your taste buds may change where you find sugar is not that appealing when you end your six month ban,
3. You won't get sick as often and you will feel better.

Now that we are off the sugar free diet, the kids will occasionally indulge in sodas and other junk -- the zits they get the next few days after remind them what they are doing to themselves. If you are very addicted to sugar I recommend EFT (Google it) it helped me with a Coca Cola addiction.

P.S. My kids won't do the EFT for soda and junk, because they don't want to give them up forever! A testimony to their addiction and the effectiveness of EFT!"

I have begun ingesting ACV diluted with water and haven't seen much improvement and during the winter months here in the northeast, I have problem skin on other parts of my body...legs, forearms, midriff, lower back....I am massaging my feet nightly (just started 3 nights ago) and concentrating on points as recommended by reflexology....I am noticing a new blemish on my face and hope that the bad stuff is leaving my body....this could take weeks at this rate though - natural cures, in my experience, take time and patience along with consistency which I am terrible with, but I need to keep trying....stick with what you're doing, get lots of veggies and fruits....try to get some sun everyday....keep the faith!!!"

I dunno if it is helping. Into the 2nd week, it got worse. The side of my cheek broke out with lots of pimples..small ones..but lots of them. my chin has also some today, so is my forehead.Is this purging?I do facial.. and my beautician was surprised to see the outbreak.

I had pimples problem in my teens. After which it never bothers me until lately. im 36.

Im really hoping ACV will do some miracle to my condition. I'm still waiting. And keep telling myself to at least try for 1 month before giving up."


04/17/2009: Lisa from Russelville, KY USA replies: "The skin has several functions; none of those functions are to remove toxins from the body. That is the job of the liver and kidneys. Don't let anyone tell you that toxins will leave the body through the skin. Acne is a disease, not to be cured by leaving through skin pores."

09/21/2009: Azg from Toronto, On replies: "Lisa, from Russelville KY - You're completely wrong there. Your skin DOES eliminate toxins. It probably eliminates more than your bladder does. Just because your skin doesn't smell like urine or feces doesn't mean it's not eliminating. Notice how beautiful your skin gets when you drink 8-10 glasses of water a day (that's because the toxins your skin is eliminating aren't struggling to get out - therefore your skin glows). Notice how beautiful your skin gets when you excercise to the point of sweat pouring off your skin (or even going to the sauna) - you're helping your body eliminate those toxins, so again...your skin will be glowing.

Ask any doctor. They'll tell your body eliminates toxins through your colons, your bladder, your BREATH, and your skin."

[YEA]  12/08/2008: Elena from Berkeley, CA writes: "I have just starting drinking ACV and water every day for close to 3 weeks now. I have suffered from acne since I was 12 years old and I am now 36 and as I've gotten older it has gotten worse. After drinking ACV for about 2 weeks, my skin started to transform and it looks great! I've tried everything to get rid of my grossly impacted pores and my pores are almost now completely free of debris. I have started using the ACV in my clay mask as well instead of water and it has made a HUGE difference. Not only has my face cleared up but the breakouts on other body parts are also clearing up. My skin is so soft, I have more energy and I've been having regular bowl movements. I've also noticed that my lips were very dry, they are now soft with no dryness.

Initially, when I started drinking ACV my skin erupted, now in retrospect I know that my body was just pushing the toxins out of my system. Also, my skin would be so oily, truly greasy several hours after cleaning my face, now I've noticed that my face has a beautiful glow but not OILY or greasy looking like before, this stuff is amazing! And I should also report that I do look 10 years younger as well! I am now looking forward to continuing my ACV treatment and have started to really take healing myself naturally very seriously."



12/09/2008: James Sesame from State College, PA replies: "Very good. ACV will work, but only temporarily until you restore your damaged gut. You have whatever you have, mental, physical or genetic,s due to gut dysbiosis, destroyed gut flora & overgrowth of pathological gut organisms, which all of us contain, but run out of control when we destroy our friendly gut flora with antibiotics. Use your clay internally as well. If it is ok for your skin it is ok internally, or should be. ACV in the clay water you drink will be excellent. As will Celtic sea salt, a healing salt made by hand from the sea. It is live containing sea & earth organisms from the indigenous clay it is cultivated in. If you want internal clay, make sure it has been used anciently & has not been adulterated by modern purification processes. It will restore your gut flora & kill any MRSA or PRSA or other rank stuff like any candida or clostridia or Ecoli (there are many beneficial & essential Ecoli, which are killed by antibiotics & by vaccines)"

09/16/2009: Slcherian from St Louis, Mo replies: "Hi. I have just started drinking for myself and my six children a mixture of 32 ounce of apple juice (not from concentrate), 32 ounce of grape juice (also not from concentrate), 2 ounce of honey (organic) and 16 ounces of apple cider vinegar organic with the mother. I have six boys and I have one that just recently went through the swine flu and doing well. I read about this and that it can boost immunity while helping with all the other things that apple cider vinegar is good for. This may help with the taste for you. Its not bad to me. I just want my family to be healthy. Also look into your ph balance. I am also doing lime and baking soda and water mixture and it seems to be helping me with the cravings- I really don't have many cravings now which is exciting because I have a lot of weight to lose."

[YEA]  11/28/2008: Tursha from Houston, Texas writes: "Apple Cider Vinegar cured my acne. I have only used ACV for 5 days and I see a huge difference in my acne. I use Organic ACV directly to my face & take 2 tbl spoons every day. I apply it to my skin in the morning and leave it on for ten minutes. Then I wash it off with facial wash from the health food store that contains tea tree oil. Then I mix one drop of tea tree oil & Vitamin E to my skin for a moistrizer. At night, I just wash my face then use ACV directly and sleep with it overnight. I did break out with a small rash on my left cheek, but realized I was releasing toxins of my skin. This remedy sloughs off dead skin and leaves my skin looking and feeling great! I suffer with acne spots that I want to remove naturally and this seems to work. I also include fiber in my diet and drink lots of water. Make sure you get a lot of sleep and exercise. Combating acne requires a combination of healthy remedies."

[YEA]  11/08/2008: Beth from Chicago, IL, USA writes: "For about 13 years I've suffered from acne, periodically cystic. I've been using Apple Cider Vinegar topically for something like 6 months, and it has completely turned my skin around.

I pretty much just incorporated the ACV into my skin care routine, and it has made all the difference: morning and night I use a mild cleanser to wash my face, and I then apply undiluted ACV topically using a cotton pad. I follow this up with a gentle toner and a mild moisturizer. I would say that I have very sensitive skin, and the ACV hasn't caused me any problems as long as I'm sure to use moisturizer afterwards.

My one concern is that I'm starting to notice that some little wrinkles I had are becoming more pronounced. I have no idea if the ACV is the cause of this, but I would really them to go away. Earth Clinic, please send some help my way. :-)"



11/09/2008: Deborah from Denison, Texas replies: "I also use ACV after a baking soda scrub on my face and neck. It is like a mini facial peel. But to counterbalance the drying effect of ACV you need to use a moisturizer. I use Virgin Coconut Oil as my body and facial moisturizer and my facial wrinkles and body are a lot smoother and less noticable."
