I have been applying a combination of diluted Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, and crushed up Aspirin (contains Salicylic Acid), to my face for a little over two weeks now and have been pleasantly surprised by the results. Not only is my face completely pimple free, my complexion also appears to be much more vibrant.

How do you dilute your ACV?

You dilute the ACV with water. For example: two tablespoons of ACV, two crushed up Aspirin, and eight ounces of water.

Have you tried this? Ive heard that it breaks you out at first. Ive also heard that it can dry you out like Accutane, which I couldnt do with a job in the sun. That whole break out period might not work either with the whole, "Its summer and I whant to impress the ladies" thing.

B5 works exactly the same way that accutane works in the sense that it reduces the size of the sebum glands. As they shrink, the excess oil in them is forced to the top of the dermis, thus making you break out initially, but then afterward you are producing less oil and thus you reduce your acne.

Fish oil is known to help clear skin.

It helps with overall skin health, but i take **** loads of fish oil and it has never done anything to clear my skin...
Minocycline is working though =]

Dose it have the same affact in your body? Ive heard of accutane causing dry joints, and Im already wearing my joints down.

accutane works but its stress on the body, and if youre out in the sun all day i wouldnt go that route. dead aim mentioned the indian pharmacies.. A lot of the medications you can get from a derma you can get from online sites.. HOWEVER if you have insurance it may be cheaper to go seek professional help, and self medicating is not always the best solution. If you don't have insurance and you decide to get your meds online, start with milder medicines and work your way up if they don't work. Don't start with the strongest first.

Beat me to it... I have used accutane in the past, dried my skin out FAST, but I was concerned about what other side effects it might of had. B5 and Vinegar seem to be the best, I have used B5 with great success, but never tried Vinegar.

Milk Thistle helped me for a bit, but then I broke out to the point where people were actually commenting on my skin.

No one seems to have brought up this solution so im going to give my own bit of info from experience. Using ACV diluted with some water or Rose water for 1-2 times a day for a few weeks will definately help facial complexion, but If you want something better that will kill the pimples properly and help remove pimple marks with consistent daily usage, you should get yourself some 1% Clindamycin Phosphate Gel/Cream. Me and my brother use it whenever we get the odd pimples now, it works wonders, since using it almost a year ago consistently for just over a month, we get very few pimples now. If im not mistake its a topical anti-biotic that will remove your pimples + marks if used properly. It might be a prescription med depending on where you live. If your not given a prescription for this, then screw the docs and screw the dermatologists and get it through other means online. My docs wouldn't understand and wanted to me to take oral anti-biotics and wouldn't listen to any of my advice, so I had to get it myself and do what I know is best for my health and will give me quick lasting results.
I can highly recommend these. I picked up around 10 tubes of this from the Far east when I went on holiday last year, cost under $1.50 each, and each tube should last you anywhere from 2-3 months with daily use. You need VERY small dab sized amounts on each pimple or pimple mark.
Forget accutane and other toxic alternatives, stick to the Clindamycin Phosphate 1% topical gel, if you want to know the brand I use, its called EryTop Gel. I hope you take this advice as its much better to use something like this then going down an oral anti-biotic or the accutane route, not to mention much cheaper and more effective. Dont forget to add in the ACV + Rose water thing I mentioned, that will help heaps too to restore health to your skin.
Much love.

I can support the claim that Accutane seems to cause a terminal shrinking in the glands - after a 12 week "cycle" of Accutane procured from a research site,I have had a DRASTIC reduction in any breakouts for YEARS after cessation. I have even ran two cycles of Test + Tren-A and have only experienced mild scattered breakouts, NOTHING like what I used to endure while on cycle.

accutane is some nasty stuff. my brother took it and had nosebleed a few times a week and his lips were white because they would be so dry.
my gf swears it messes with the brain function too, i havnt looked it up but ppl who are put on it at around 16yrs old usually do tend to be a little "off" at least the ppl ive seen. it may just be a coincidence, idk

There is plenty of research that supports that claim lol... Accutane is used to rid people of acne PERMANENTLY.

Thats B-5 if anyone was wondering.

I sometimes break out when it's humid in the summer down south even though I'm approaching 30. One thing that has helped has been semi-megadoses of Zinc. 2 pills of Zinc Glycinate (NOW brand) works very well for me. I started it because I read somewhere that Zinc can really help breakouts, and sure enough it did!

Would a B-5 cycle have the same long term affect?
