      There s a very small chance it comes back after accutane so i guess my luck it s really bad because it came back worse than before
      After the pill is normal to come back anyway because it s not a permanent addition of hormones

    hormonal acne= high insulin (chin and nose)
    cut down carbs (high glycemic low fibre)
    intermittent fast longer periods between meals without snacking
    keto reset diet
    digestive acne = altered microbiome/ leaky gut (deep cheek and forehead)
    intermittent fast, spore based probiotics increase fiber eat only plants and animals don't overeat carbs if you get gas you ate too much carbs.
    if your digestion is optimum and your hormones are balanced you will not get acne.
    these are the things I've learned from getting acne into my mid 20s hope this helps.

      Thank you for this information for everyone. To share my story briefly about acne, i am now struggling with acne for more than a month now for the first time. I have always had clear skin and usually i only get 1 or 2 pimples before my period but my acne this time didnt even start at that period. And as i invrstigated on this, i theorized that it might have been caused by my chronic stress recently (4 months of heavy duty at a project with overtime. I felt so stressed and acted bipolar over time. So I resigned from my job to heal myself. ) that might have destroyed the good bacteria in my gut microbiome (it wasnt only on my face btw, it was all over my body too. My arms were covered in red bumps. In retrospect, i might have been having an autoimmume response.) So i decided to take some yoghurt, and it honestly worked like a miracle. After eating 1/2 cup of plain yoghurt flavored with some cocoa powder and honey, i noticed my acne didnt feel inflamed anymore. Theyre still there but they dont hurt when you touvh them. So now i eat yoghurt regularly. My acne is still here but not as bad as prior to taking probiotics.

      But what do you tell your client when she takes vitamins (always have), doesn’t have any hormonal problems, has tried everything with the dermatologist (laser), and every cream from the pharmacy makes it worse to the point I’ve been prescribed to Roaccutane. How do you deal with it in any other way? Sometimes there are not many things left to do. I was really sceptical starting Roaccutane regarding every video, article and study I've read but I simply cannot keep going with every cream doctors suggest me without realising how sensitive my skin is (and I don't have any idea why the creams from the pharmacy not only don't work for me but made me a lot worse)

      @@alice3548 I get it, because I experience the same reaction, and I am happy that it is working for you. The thing is I am vegan, and I don't use sugar for years now. I followed dermatologists I went to a couple, the only thing that has worked for me, that I haven't had a reaction to it, is Paula’s Choice liquid exfoliant. Even though I have super sensitive skin, it worked, and it's the one that I can put without causing me more sensitivity and irritation. My dermatologist, however, told me it's too harsh, and shouldn't use it. She prescribed me a cream from the pharmacy. It made my skin four times worse, and I am not even exaggerating, she was surprised, and she told me to try another one. It didn't make me much worse, but it didn't make me better either, and they both were for sensitive skin.
      Because I had a second bad experience, I am taking Roaccutane now. Sometimes things don't work, my skin has an irritation to everything from the pharmacy specifically, I started using my Paula’s Choice again, for a while, and it did some damage control, but I can't say after everything I read and everything that I saw that I regret starting the pill, simply because I cannot have a roller coaster experience with my skin for months, while I am seeing a dermatologist and especially when it makes me much worse. It is overwhelming, and all the pills have side effects so you should be careful, but if it gives me a fresh start I am here for it, simply because I cannot keep going to a dermatologist, and come back only worse, because of the products they prescribed me.

    @maysayson1888 3 ปีที่แล้ว +272

    VIDEO SUMMARY (note-taking; writing this for people who have difficulty focusing on long videos like this)
    A. Mistakes
    1) Scrubbing your face with cleansers. DON'T SCRUB!
    2) Antibiotics. It kills off the good bacteria along with the bad ones, creating evil strains for your skin.
    3) Accutane. Too many side effects. Risky.
    TIP: Find out what's really causing the problem
    B. Sebaceous Glands
    Situation #1: Extra tissue being formed. A little flake. Dryness.
    Situation #2: Plugged pores.
    Situation #3: Inflammation.
    Situation #4: Unfriendly bacteria feeding off of the oil called sebum
    Situation #5: Large gland
    It's very highly sensitive to hormones, specifically Androgens and Estrogen.
    It's estrogen-related when:
    1) During menstruation, it gets worse. The ovaries pumping out too much estrogen.
    C. Androgen
    One form: Testosterone
    Pumping out too much Androgen produces so much sebum and increases the size of the gland.
    Causes: puberty, PCOS, menopause
    Common symptoms for PCOS: hair loss (alopecia), acne, deeper voice
    What causes PCOS?
    - High levels of insulin (insulin resistance).
    - Too much of a certain enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT. One major reason for this is: Vitamin A deficiency.
    TIP: Take Vitamin A in the form of extraversion cod liver oil.
    Other Vitamins:
    1) B5 - works well with Vitamin A; helps reduce acne, another remedy to solve the "certain enzyme" problem
    2) Zinc - powerful for getting rid of acne
    D. Estrogen
    Causes: Liver dysfunction (not eliminating the bad estrogen), high blood pressure medications, antibiotics, alcohol, heartburn medications, anti-depressants
    REMEMBER: These situations may not be isolated from each other. You can have insulin resistance that's causing the liver dysfunction.
    SOLUTION: Start eating healthier!
    1) Cruciferous vegetables such as cauliflower, cabbage, kale, garden cress, bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, mustard plant and similar green leaf vegetables.
    2) DIM, a super concentrated version of cruciferous vegetables.

      Just cutting out dairy is sometimes not enough. Especially if you're consuming sports products or any snack bars or breads/rolls etc - almost all of which has whey protein (from cow milk) or milk solids - even the healthiest smoothies and shakes can cause acne. You might be thinking you're having the healthiest diet but it depends how your body reacts to it. For instance, if you have high insulin or insulin resistance but dont know about it - an innocent morning smoothie with non-dairy milk and fruits can trigger bad acne because of fructose and sugar in that smoothie. So its really important what you put into your body. Or it could be toxicity of the food, or other hormonal imbalances. Also, it took me 3 months to see improvement in my skin after quitting all dairy products, so it's not an overnight thing. it takes long. Same if I eat something with cow milk - i will break out couple of days later. And I'm not milk intolerant and all of the allergy tests were negative, yet still I react on cows milk. Read Lara Briden's blog on milk and how it triggers acne.

However, the Dermatologist called it Acne and treated it with retinol and it caused her skin to really break out. Went to an other Dr and he took a urine test. There were 8 bacteria in her urine that stomach acid usually kills and you never see it. He said he stomach acid was too low and when he put her on a regimen of HCL and Pepsin her stomach acid killed the bacteria and he acne disappeared.

Then I found a book 'Acne can be cured" written by a skin doctor. He recommended staying away fro hard fats found in red meats, butter and margarine. Oils that remained liquid at room temperature was fine. That diet helped greatly, and adding brewers yeast led to greater improvement. He got his info from an Italian grand mother who complained instead of eating olive oil with bread her granddaughter used butter and margarine and got a face full of pimples,.

      Hi Will F, I went on accutane about 9 years ago. My acne has just started coming back slowly about 6 months ago. One of the side effects from accutane which seriously affected me was hair loss (very very thin hair) and arthritis (sooo much lower back pain and knee pain). Like you, in my early 20's I didnt have much of choice-which is why my dermatologist recommended accutane. My question to you is, did you suffer any side effects from accutane that were long lasting like me? Also, how many years has it been since accutane? I heard it eventually always comes back even after a decade. Accutane doesn't truly heal anyone of their acne just suppress it. But thanks for sharing about the Keto Diet- I'll def look into it!

    Thankyou so so much for making this video. Never understood acne better. I had my gallbladder removed two years back and since then my acne is getting worse. Doctors always prescribe antibiotics but they have stopped working on my skin. To be honest , nothing is working. I hate my skin. I cry , I cannot go out anywhere because it’s too embarrassing and I can’t even look people in the eye. It’s really an emotional and overwhelming situation.

    I agree with this , i had a really bad breakout recently , i went to my dermatologist he gave me tretotoin gel to apply , and i was over using products and stuff not working long term, so i decided to stop all the products and did the bare minimum when washing my face , and went on a plant based diet for a whole week , no dairy , no sugar . Took omega 3 fish oil. Kale was my number veggie i had in every meal. My acne literally shriveled up. It was the quickest my acne ever healed. So now i know the root cause of my acne , i got tired of trying to combat it on the surface.

    I am going to relate an issue that might be indicative for some people here. When I was a baby, I had a wheat and dairy allergy, so my allergist helped my dad find me soy formula, at Chicago Dietetic (this was in the late 50's, early 60's). There were NO health food stores, just places like that for diabetics, and folks with allergies. I drank soy formula and then soy milk powder made into milk. (I am an adoptee, so my mom didn't breast feed me.) Soy is highly estrogenic, and now, I've read studies that say giving soy to a youngster is like giving an equivalent of 1/3-1/2 dose of birth control pill (by today's standards). I matured very early for my day (age 9 onset of menses) and had problems all my life with my monthly cycle. I didn't have cystic acne, but the regular acne, again, with scrubbing, antibiotics, sunlamp treatments which my skin doctor gave me. (I had a skin doctor and allergist from young teen through college years.) Now, I am happy to be post-menopausal, but want to tell the moms out there, watch out with soy milk, it is a "good protein" but since the estrogenic effects are so high, it's safer drinking another type of milk, coconut milk, hemp milk, something other than soy. It's just too dangerous, but my generation did not know about the risks, and were the guinea pigs.

Your parents did what they thought was best for you... you are right, your generation (and mine) were guinea pigs. It's sad... our government and the alphabet agencies pushed things on our parents without knowing any possible long term solutions. I wish that donor breastmilk was always available, and was never stigmatized.... you may have faired better with that.

I still get a few zits here and there but they’re not half as big and painful as they were. I’ve been struggling with acne for 7 years and at one point I had been on antibiotics for TWO YEARS STRAIGHT (!!), after stopping the acne came back with rage and I got put on accutane. That resulted in an adverse reaction to side effects and I quit taking them 2 weeks later.. I can safely say that my experience has been night and day! I mean I still have a lot of blackheads and visible sebaceous filaments but I’d take that over painful acne any day 🙌🏻

    What cured my acne was finding out that I was allergic to soy, and cutting it out. Already on a gluten-free and dairy-free diet before and had moderate acne. Additionally, I went on birth control. Finally, I ate healthier by cutting down on sugar and fatty foods like French fries, and replaced them with vegetables.

      @Adam O'Shea It is a misconception, it is not the fasting that reduces acne but the reduction in insulin. The problem with most diets is that you get significant spikes in insulin at a regular interval preventing your body from "resting"
      In general, making sure you eat within a 12 hour window (one cheat day a week works).
      I myself had great effect from going ketogenic fasting for 16h a day, but upholding such a diet when you often don't have access to a kitchen is impossible as you will not find keto foods in dumb country.

    No sugar, no high fructose corn syrup, no dairy, no bread of any kinds, drink nothing but water 48oz a day at least. Do this for a month and take before and after pictures of your acne. Be patient it takes weeks if not months to clear up.

      @@teresadorta8039 also depends what types of products you use, from shampoos, to detergent, lotions, makeup ect. Most of those products contain chemicals that clog pores. Switch to clean products ( even some clean products contain these chemicals tho) Shellfish, dairy, peanuts are also the main offenders. It took almost 2 yrs on full organic and clean products to finally be acne free.

    So I read up on symptoms of a vitamin A deficit and I can relate to most of them. I will buy some cod liver oil and keep you updated if it works for me or not. Thanks for making this video, highly informative!

    Acupuncture cleared my hormonal acne within a few months. I had suffered from this acne for years. It was a life saver. Highly recommend a course of treatments with a qualified and registered practitioner
