Combat Acne

What are some ways to combat this dreaded acne?

tan, b5 and frequent showers.

tan works temporarily, b5 is a myth and frequent showers work to a point. You'll need something stronger like differin/cyndomycin cream combo with adox or adult form of accusteem (accutane) at 10mgs a day. oxy 10/clearisil works to a point, but it won't prevent them from forming. I'd make a trip to a derm and see what he says.

B5 used at a high enough dose definitely dries you out. Tanning twice a week, tea tree oil, and drink more water.

See a dermatologist. For OTC solutions, try Sal-Ac wash...

I have tried everything listed here except the accutane which I have now, but haven't used cause my b5 came in and it is working quickly, granted you need 2.5 - 5 grams a day to get it to work.

Dries out the oil glands in the pores.

It really depends on the individual and the degree of the problem. I have started b5 at only 1.5 grams a day and it has cleared everything up. Granted I didn't exactly have a severe case of it either.
