Any and all solutions you had work for facial acne

@Bingo I disagree, it definitely matters, there are certain ingredients that are known to clog pores in acne prone individuals. They cause inflammation and that causes hyperkeratosis, overproduction of skin cells which is what blocks the pore. When your skin barrier is also sub optimal such as from using harsh surfactants, the follicle can rupture from these pore blockages causing even more inflammation.
I understand that diet can help with acne, but I don’t think it’s helpful to tell acne sufferers that skin care doesn’t matter and to keep going on the quest to cure their skin with diet alone. That could take years to figure out and they may never get 100% clear if they continue using destructive topical products.
You can actually clear your skin without any dietary changes just from eliminating comedogens and using barrier supporting ingredients. Unfortunately, most dermatologists and formulators have no clue, there is only a small sector of estheticians who know this - look up corneotherapy.

I used to get mad acne from full fat dairy but not anymore
I think hypo people probably get more acne -
@ilovethesea Probably its different for everybody. Acne can have so many causes! I have heard of people who got rid of their acne by stopping all skincare and only rinsing their face with cold water. No other changes! I imagine lots of skincare can be tried out, and probably could be helpful for some. Many skincare products are irritating and unhealthy for the face. In the end, my family found that acne was an internal issue, and using only basic skincare helped because it wasn't irritating. Dietary changes didn't help either. It was a fat metabolism issue that pantothenic acid seemed to help regulate. I really think once the metabolism issue is solved, that even applying tallow to the skin would not cause acne. Anyway it’s worth looking at all the options. Acne can be so frustrating and concerning to those who suffer with it.
