Peating vs Acne

@polba pineapple with the core
-
@sushi_is_cringe Will look into this, does organic pineapple have a different result than store-bought? I live in a tropical country so I have easy acess to organic fruits
-
@polba it probably doesn't matter. ive been told 1 whole pineapple a day will take care of acne and then when it is under control do like 1/4. reccomended to eat the core too. it goes well with protein meals as it helps digest the aminos.

@sushi_is_cringe Should I make juice of the peel too? It tastes incredibly similar to actual pulp-made juice

Red light therapy has been found to be helpful for acne. There most likely are YouTube videos.

I second the red light recommendation. It doesn't work overnight in my experience. But it's good for acne prevention longer term (not years, but weeks).
You could start eating liver if you don't already. And oysters. If you live in a tropical country, you probably get a lot of sunlight and your Vitamin A needs are higher (eggs are good as well, but especially liver). You may have easy access to oysters in your country.
I think the carb/acne connection is mostly nonsense. But there are way too many reports on a connection between acne and milk. You'd have to test that yourself if it makes a difference. I think I've seen studies in the past that low-fat milk is worse for acne than full-fat milk. A2 (certain cows, sheep, goat) instead of A1 milk could also make a difference, meaning A2 could be better than A1.
Focus on food you digest well and that doesn't give you any allergic symptoms. The pineapple sushi mentioned could be great because like he said, it helps with protein digestion.
Regarding topical scincare you could try to find a niacinamide serum without many additives. It can work well, but also after a few weeks and probably not immediately. Stay away from aggressive skincare that just destroys the skin. I don't know if stuff like Clearasil is still a thing, but stay away from stuff like that. One exception could be azelaic acid, since it really helps and doesn't destroy the skin. Also stay away from accutane. It may get rid of your acne, but it's crazy stuff.

@sushi_is_cringe kt didnt for me
-
@polba - I agree. I think all of the suggestions are additive. As Luke pointed out, it does take time so do not be discouraged if you do not see immediate results.
