Zinc
★★★★★
I've since discovered taking zinc regularly 10-15mg a day I didn't have breakouts for my longest time ever. My tummy gets sensitive so I do miss days but if I ever feel a tingle I take a double dose of Zinc that day and it completely goes away. I have a hectic lifestyle and under stress this has helped me a lot.
One other thing I do is cut out sweet/sugary foods and drinks and have these occasionally. I mostly drink 1-1.5 litres of water a day, to keep my body PH good/alkaline. I do drink alcohol, and now try to have days off allowing my body time to recover as this affects my Ph balance. Too much refined sugar and lack of sleep guarantees a tingle for me.
The Zinc is my solution since I rarely take vitamin C now and I feel fine without it. I hope it works for you.
Take zinc with food. I learned the hard way. Once, I took it on an empty stomach and after a short while I suddenly and violently started vomiting. Barely made it to the bathroom. My face was crimson red (freaky) and it was one of the worst vomiting episodes I've ever had in my life. It was short spell but extreme. Don't think I could have remained in this state long or you'd be thinking you need to call an ambulance. Yeah it was that bad. Felt like I'd been poisoned. Pretty awful and don't recommend making this mistake.
