I was a 48 year old woman who had acne like I was 16. Because of an increase in my insulin levels, I went "low carb". A few weeks later, I realized my acne had disappeared. My teenage kids started low carb, their acne disappeared. It was amazing.
Great news!
Same!!
I too have been chasing breakouts my entire adult life. I am a 50 yr old Male. I have been following dr Berry's advice for about 2 weeks and have seen a huge difference. I have cut out all sugar and starches as well as following the keto diet and having the green smoothie he mentioned. Remember, acne is not just a teenager problem.
@@jeffreymacintyre2711 I neglected to mention that I've been "low carb" then keto for the last ten years. It was an evolution for me. Giving up carbs "hurts" in the beginning, but after a time, your taste change. Now, when I'm hungry, I'm thinking of dipping my bacon in the egg yoke. Toast never enters my mind. I tried a crust of garlic bread, freshly toasted a few years back. The butter was delicious, with bits of garlic, but the bread itself was tasteless. I honestly wondered what I ever saw in it. I"m glad you've started your journey. Stay on it, don't give up. If you fall off, then just get back on again. The next right step.
I also finally gave up drinking after drinking daily for over 20 years! I have already dropped 10 lbs
43 years old. Discovered this on my own by starting keto. If someone had told me this 20 years ago I would have immediately switched diets and saved a lot of anguish and money.
Indeed! Good job, and keep it up!
Right! All the money spent on products that didn’t even work 🙄
Back then we were told to avoid meat and fat 😬 to treat acne.
I remember fighting with my dad 25 years ago for insisting that I should cut out sugar, when the doctors said accutane was the only option. Turns out dad was right all along.
Damn I wish I'd known about the ketogenic diet before my parents put me on accutane.
Omg me too! My dad always told me it was my diet and I didn’t believe him. I did two rounds of accutane and started having kidney issues. I wish I listened
Ever since I started Keto, my acne has disappeared completely. 15 months into Keto and 153 lbs lost! You are amazing Dr. B! Congrats on your baby❤
Wow, Crystal, that's incredible! YOU"RE incredible for doing that!
Well done Crystal yr a champion
Did you cut out dairy or no?
how long it takes for acne to fade
Hey Crystal, I had acne into my 30s. About 5 years ago I started Keto (and completely cut out gluten and dairy) my skin cleared up within 2 weeks and it's been clear since.
My skin appears to be okay if I eat a bit of white rice or quinoa... but anything with gluten, corn flour, canola oil, soybean oil, dairy and (unfortunately) coffee makes me break out like crazy
I have Keto skin at 68 , glowing , healthy , and wrinkle free ! Thanks for the advice , Doc !
Wish I knew this 45 years ago. Man, my life would be different.
59 years young here, weird back and shoulder pimples and bumps went away on keto🤯
Had acne since I was a teenager, I'm now 33! Been on keto diet for 1MONTH, acne gone, skin feels so smooth =)
Oh, and 22lb lighter
@Kimberlynn Xø no, no suger hardly at all
No, no fruit. Still raises my sugars big time
1- Remove sugars from your diet
2- Take high fat diet (Cod Liver Oil also have required fats)
3- Take 10-20 mg zinc
4- Avoid antibiotics and Creams.
Thank you
I developed a sudden, horrific case of cystic acne my freshman year of college...Accutane (at that time) was sort of a miracle cure. I also received injections directly into my worst cystic breakouts to "cut the inflammation." Yes...I said "cut the inflammation." My skin thankfully does not show the horrible scarring, but as a 51-year-old, I still was never completely breakout free, although it had gotten better over the years. That said, I haven't had a SINGLE tiny pimple, let alone a cystic pimple since starting keto 3 months ago. Here's the sad realization for me: During my junior and senior years of high school I chugged shocking amounts of sugar due to emotional eating and because I never gained weight I thought I had dodged a bullet. Ack!!!! I have already been sharing this blessed keto side-effect with those close to me who suffer with acne. Thank you, Dr. Berry, for covering this!!
Hi Katie! Do you eat beans or potatoes since you started your keto diet? I mean, do they cause you breakouts if you eat them? I feel I need them because of lack of energy... no other carbs, no grains at all, but at least beans and some potatoes every other day...
I suffered with acne my entire adult life till Keto. I now at the age of 59 have amazingly clear skin and have people comment often on how smooth it is 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Inflammation is at the heart of the so many health maladies. Diet in the form of sugars, grains & refined carbs is predominantly at the heart of the vast majority of inflammation.

When
I was a teen in the 60s, they tod us we were eating too much fatty foods.
Never had acne but at 33 I got dermatitis that traveled all over my face for a year. Lots of carbs and cardio. Everyone said go to the doctor and get an rx. ONE WEEK after going lazy low carb it disappeared! Nine weeks in, it's still gone. Love watching you and your wife!
Hello. Do you got rid of sebderm with the low carb diet?
My skin has cleared up tremendously on keto. I've only been doing keto since last October, but the results became visible after less than 2 months.
Already sent this to my 16-yr old. Love the systemic logic you present Dr. Berry!!
Sunshine also lowers harmful bacteria on the skin, and provides good stimulus for healing acne. Along with the right diet, that's a powerful combo!
Make sure your applying SPF though when out in the sun. Hyperpigmentation can occur from healing acne if exposed to much sun ☀️.
Mineral zinc spf.
Thank you Dr. B. It's so much more about what you put in your body than on your skin. Wish I would have found Keto when I was a kid with a face full of acne. Keep telling truth!!
Thank you, Dr. Berry! It's so nice that you're teaching so many ways to make us healthy and you are not pushing supplements for us to buy from you or anything. Just good information that we can choose to implement. You're awesome!
Every one of your videos is so valuable. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. You're one of the good guys.
How I wish this info was taught when I was a teenager. Keto is the only thing that has cleared up my skin.
My doctor DID, in these exact words, tell me that "diet has nothing to do with my acne". This caused years of suffering and confusion though my teens and early 20s until I decided to do my own research. So happy we have the internet... BTW, if anyone has pitted scars from acne, I recommend dermarolling. You can do it at home!
Dr. Berry I love your honesty, Thank you!!
Thank you Dr. Ken. This vid helps. I can now share this to my teenager son. Be blessed.
Completely agree! Since starting my dairy-free ketogenic diet I have noticed INSANE improvements. I am very far from clear, but there is a definite reduction in the amount of 'active' acne
Are you still dairy free or were you eventually able to add it back in? I worry about calcium deficiency if I avoid dairy forever.
Great info. Thankfully I didn't suffer with acne, just minimal pimples. Glad to see you back.
Great info!!! Thanks for this video with such helpful tips!
Oh how I wish my younger self would've known this. It would've saved me years of needless and even dangerous use of antibiotics. Thank you!!!
Missed your videos Doc. Thanks again.
I needed this 15 years back. !!
Wish my mom could have known about this portion of your advice! However, after suffering with acne for over 35yrs, accutaine did work. It changed my life.
So glad it worked for you. Many have tried Accutane and been disappointed. All the best :)
Accutaine cured mine and both my kids too! i am so grateful!
Gut inflammation is absolutely linked to acne
Dr. Berry, I'm not a doctor, dermatologist or nutritionist. I'm "just a mom". I am 42 with a 15 yo daughter. She rarely breaks out. I may get a pimple on occasion. I have found that "washing" our face with olive oil clears up all pimples within 2 or 3 days. Granted, neither of us have severe, inflamed, acne. I mention it because...well....that's what works for us. Olive oil on a cotton ball, gently wipe face or apply directly to pimple. Follow with a cloth dampened in hot water and laid over the face. Pat dry. Not only does it nix any breakouts, but it leaves my face soft and without the need for a moisturizer. Thanks for making these videos. So helpful.
Mom LookingUp coconut oil is also supposed to do this. Oil breaks down other oils, and unclogs pores. Virgin cocoa oil also has natural antibacterial components.
@@mamaw4180 exactly! Thanks :)
You're looking great Dr. Berry! Thank you for another awesome video! 🥰
Great info, my kids have suffered from acne since they were young.
I’m only 2 weeks into Keto. I’m seeing a lot less oil and fewer pimples. My hair isn’t falling out near as much. I’m not diabetic or obese, but I expect life changing improvements otherwise.👍🏻
Thank you Dr Berry.
You are awesome and i hope you are doing well.
THANK YOU for saying diet matters. Smoke comes out of my ears when I hear those infomercials that have those "doctors" that say, "what you eat doesn't matter".
BTW, I looked into it and my smoke condition is not due to diet.
Another tip: AVOID Iodized salt!
When I was younger, I went to a great dermatologist twice. The time I went for acne, simply said, stay away from Iodized salt, Bromine and caffeine. WOW, huge changes within days.
Thank you so much for all the really really helpful videos.. :)
You've blown my mind, doctor berry!
Thanks for delving into this particular topic because I've been searching for a way to get rid of my acne "naturally"; without using any synthetic products or medicine.
I use olive oil. I commented my routine and how it helps me.
@@momlookingup3555 I've read your comment about using olive oil to treat acne, and I'd like to try it someday; unfortunately, from where I live, olive oil isn't very affordable, so I'll stick with the low-carb diet for now.
Certainly! I never meant to imply to use oo instead of diet. Nutition is #1. :)
Thanks for directing me to your comment by the way. Peace ✌️
You're the BEST Dr Berry, thanks for what you do. Love my "tribe" T
Hey Dr. B! Thanks as always for all that you do to keep us healthy...maybe not sane, but healthy. Haha! Just messin' 😉 Anyhooo, speaking of sanity, I am still perplexed on what the right course of dietary action would be for someone having a potentially catastrophic health event and if you could address this in a future video. Lots of celebs and others that get cancer, seem to go the vegan route for their pre and post-treatment as well as those folks like actor/director Kevin Smith who had a massive heart attack a few months back. Is there a medical reason why newly-recovering heart attack patients shouldn't have saturated fat and be better off on a vegan or vegetarian diet? You made a video a couple of years ago about cancer loving sugar (and carbs that become glucose in your liver) and I had also read about that from other enlightened folks and so I had always assumed that eating keto would be the way to help should I (god forbid) ever get cancer. However, I am not really certain with issues related to hearts/arteries and stent placements post-attack (or to tie in the cancer, hearts that weaken from chemotherapy). Is this just another way cardiologists "echo" poorly thought out nutritional info? Thanks again for considering this for a future topic! xoxo Christine in sunny CO 🌞
I had bad acne in my teen years. Went to dermatologist-zero nutritional advice, I was prescribed antibiotics and that's it. Tons of skincare products, nothing worked. Acne stopped when I grew up without any drug or product. Doctors gave no info on diet so I ignored all dietary recommendations as unscientific, well, there goes my belief in mainstream medical advice. Now I have scars to deal with.
Terrible acne as soon as I hit puberty, so bad I was on antibiotics for years. I was a big milk drinker back then, well over a pint a day. I quit dairy in my 30s, acne 95% gone but I'd get outbreaks every so often. I went ketovore 1 year ago (at 50), acne now 100% gone, including my monthly hormonal acne.
Acne is 100% diet related for most, if not all, people.
Great info Doc! Wish you were in L.A. I am a keto diet fan, but before keto, I found that topical sulfur, combined with high sulfur foods like eggs/garlic/onions could clear up my skin. I had chronic cystic acne since a teenager and went on every treatment, but they never addressed the cause.
Love ya, Doc! 😊 You showed up tonight (link to this Video) in a Beauty/Makeup Group I Follow on FB. I immediately said to the poster, I have been following both you and Cooking Keto with Kristie for almost 3 Years. No issues with acne here (maybe its da butta and Heavy Cream, hehe) but your insight is always very informative. So glad I watched this video, grandkids sure can learn from this. Hugsss 😉
Yup...53 years old and still get occasional pimples, like the one I got 2 days ago! Lol! I've always had them throughout my life, but only 2 years in high school did it get somewhat bad. That said, being keto 4 years (mostly keto carnivore the past year) absolutely keeps my skin more clear!
I'm not full keto, but have cut out lots of carbs and added more fats and organic foods in my diet. My diet is pretty simple now, and I rarely get those cystic zits anymore. When I do, it's usually because I ate something and it's easy to tell what it was, considering my simple diet. My skin care routine is very simple too these days. Based on my own experience, I can 100% agree with Dr. Berry here!
Ken is kickin ass and taking names.
Excellent video, i agree with you.I am gonna add something, food intolerances could get worse the acne as well. In a low carb diet you can eat nuts, coffee, dark chocolate and so, but these foods could be a issue for some people, like me.
In a future video, a bunch of us would appreciate a video on rosacea. Unfortunately 2 years on strict keto has not helped mine. 😢
I’m 61, and have had the odd zit for most of my adulthood. After menopause, they turned into watery little white heads, easily popped. I noticed that if I ate something sugary, I’d get more of them. As of a month ago, with the exception of a week when I was away from home, and couldn’t completely control what I ate, and got sugar in things like tuna salad (!), I’ve gotten way fewer of them. I’ve been eating very low carb in that month. I’ve figured that zits are a symptom of inflammation, period, and sugar (and other simple carbs) cause it in my body, and therefore I should stay away from them. I’ve been following Dr. Berry for a few months now, and have been eating pretty close to carnivore for that month. Thanks, Dr. Berry! 😄👍🙏
I’m in the military and just got back from training in Louisiana where it was hot and humid. I started with some acne on my face before we left for field training for 10 days. After ten days of living outside in the dirt, sweating etc. and not taking a shower for 10 days or cleaning my face even half as regularly as I normally do my acne got much worse. I also ate way less food then I normally do so there wasn’t much chance for any sugar to go into my body. I was in training for a month total. During that month I fasted often I also ate a lot less food then I normally do even when I ate. After I got back from the 10 days of field training I started cleaning my face with an acne face wash and occasionally some dish soap to get rid of so much oil and junk on my skin. My acne started clearing up a lot more. After I got home from the month of training I went back to my normal routine washing my face eating somewhat keto but, not really and my acne is better after getting back to my face washing routine still not where I want it to be though. I fasted, I didn’t eat much sugar because I didn’t eat a lot in general when I did eat though it was somewhat of a keto diet. I did that for a month 10 days straight of it being dirty and my acne was worse. When I got home and went back to eating normal amounts didn't change my diet but I washed my face a lot more in a hot shower to open my pores up and cleanse them out my acne got better. I think a lot of it is genetics. I know many people who eat and drink a ton more sugar than I do and eat what they want when they want and not a pimple on them not an acne scar and never struggled with acne at all. So I did a month experiment without thinking that I was doing it and after that month what changed in my routine was back to eating normal amounts of food but not a different diet than I normally have, exercising more, and cleaning my face better, my sleep wasn’t the best for those 10 days in the field but after and before that the rest of the month was good. And my sleep is back to normal now after being home.
Thank you! I went off keto for about 2 months and broke out so much... Back on keto and clearing up.
Thank you for your videos. How do you feel about Retin A for acne and hyper pigmentation?
A lot of people would much rather smear anti-acne goop all over their faces than eliminate sugars, grains, and dairy. Keto is easy, c’mon now!
Didn't work for me
He is so right...after all, you are what you eat! ❤️
i would add the following. 55 years ago, my doctor suggested that I wash my entire face with a shaving brush, and to lather and rinse twice. This I do this today, preventing my pores from getting clogged with old oil. The soap I use also has some tea tree oil in it, but the effect is based on the brush. It is NOT abrasive and takes a month or so to sow decent results, but it helped then and now with blackheads.
I don't have a gall bladder. I just very recently started taking ox bile supplements in an effort to reduce fat mal absorbtion. (Did I say that right?) I'm mentioning that here because one of the fat soluble vitamins is vitamin E, which is good for the skin. Dr. Berry, I was hoping you would chime in with your opinion on ox bile supplements, or bile salts for those without a gall bladder...
Shane Gallant I second that. Please cover it in as much detail as possible.
I've watched countless videos on acne management and this is probably the best. I had severe inflammatory and scarring acne for years. I gave up dairy and the inflammatory acne improved significantly, although I still have skin issues. I'm now eliminating all grains to see if I can diminish my acne further. Thanks Ken.
Did you get it done?
@@TIM.DREAMZ unfortunately no. going grain free low-carb with intermittent fasting and I still suffer from skin problems. my genetics are in the dumpster.
@@logwind maybe try carnivore diet?
Had bad acne when I was a kid and wish I had this info back then. Absolutely right, no matter how much I scrubbed my face with those damn Oxy pads it only made my skin dry and irritated. Know with a daughter who is starting to go through the same thing I will be sure to pass on this info if she wants it. Thanks for the great info!
thanks doctor. this helpful. could u do video for acne scars too?
I stopped my cystic acne which was me for 7 years with cutting off the diary,grains,nightshades... Bonus was also treating my Hashimoto and significantly decrease my antibodies !! :)
When I was around 11 I started drinking skim milk (about a gallon every other day) and that's when my acne got extremely bad. I didn't make the connection until I was in my early 30s! My face freaks out when I eat/drink dairy, eat high amounts of refined grains, and sugar.... especially around the jaw line. I have been on antibiotics and accutane for my acne about 10 years ago and it only worked for 2 yrs then came back. Diet has been the only way to keep my acne in check.

I had horrible acne that started when I was 9 years old...way before puberty. I tried everything, but nothing worked. Still had lots of acne in my 40s and thought I was never going to get rid of it. After 2 months of keto my acne was gone. I get occasional hormonal flare-ups, but nothing like what I had before. I wish I had known what to do as a teen!! It would have changed my life.
Thank you and please do one on sugar lows people say they can’t do the diet I don’t have a answer.
Very interested in this, and although Keto is something we've considered heavily, my partner and I are type 1 diabetic with multiple complications and other conditions, so not possible. We've both had isotretinoin in the past, I still get some breakouts, and have had to change my diet due to SIBO and gastro issues (is Lactofree cows milk considered okay? Things have improved since I changed to Lactofree and real butter, but can't get rid of all carbs due to type 1, and low GI isn't possible with gastro issues. So many complications not even getting a mention here. My partner has recently been diagnosed with hidradentis supporativa, and wondering if there is anything to naturally help that as so little is known. Thanks for all your videos Dr Berry, it's helping me get things together to talk to our specialist about the things they're not doing.
Thank you.
Thanks!
I’ve had acne since I was 12, I just thought of it as normal teenage acne. I was told by my pediatrician that everyone gets acne at some point in their teens and 20’s and it’s normal to have. Like in girls and women, 1 or 2 pimples a week before your period is completely normal. I’m now 23 and it’s still present, it comes and goes but it’s not the occasional 1 or 2 pimples a month like it used to be when I was in my mid to late teens. I have drank soda almost everyday for years so I may have to cut down to maybe once a week and then maybe once a month. I could never cut it out completely. I’ll have to try one thing at a time and see how that goes.
Let's go! Before, I hesitated going on keto but since your comment encouraged me more, let's start this new journey together!
Is there a video for acne scarring? I also took DIM and it cleared up my acne
Luckiely, I never had acne. Nice video.
Thanks Dr Berry, I've been keto for a few months now, and love it, I have now reduced the amount of glycemic foods in my teen daughters diets, in hopes it clears up their acne, hoping to see results before prom 😂
Did it work
In 2007, Chinese authorities pulled a batch of imported snack chips from store shelves because they believed the chips contained potassium bromate, a *food additive banned in China.* The chips' country of origin? The United States. *Is bromine the same thing as potassium bromate?*
Only had 5 or six pimples in the last year. Also dry dandruff is gone. Never had eczema since doing keto.
Does it help with dandruff
I do an omad carnivore (for the past 4 months). I don’t do dairy. I don’t drink alcohol. I don’t have any sugar. I am 50 with acne. It only goes if i take lymecycline - which I don’t want to be on forever.
I know this comment is completely off the subject of this video, but, I want to say that I have been following LCHF basically KETO for a month now and the change I am most happy about is that mosquitos no longer bite me. All my life mosquitos follow me around and feast. Now they don't even attempt a bite. Dr Berry can you comment on this. Has anyone else experienced this?
Not watched the video yet but I bet the number one ‘cure’ is Keto 😉
Edit: Bingo!
Btw, since going low carb, high fat around three months ago (not truly keto though, yet), my skin has dramatically improved. Dr Berry is absolutely correct yet again.
This man deserves a nobel price.
Can you please do a video on Keto and keeping gout at bay. Please!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's get rid of acne!
It's funny, I spent my teenage years with the occasional acne (some blackheads and whiteheads), but when I hit 21 I started having painful cystic acne on my chin and jaw area. I suspect it has to do with me starting the use of contraceptives. Following dairy free keto definitely improved a lot my condition, but I noticed that stress too can trigger breakouts. Skincare can be helpful in controlling the damage (reducing post acne hyperpigmentation and blackheads), but it has almost zero effect on the cystic acne on the chin. I admit that sometimes I cheat, because I absolutely love cheese. I am currently trying buffalo's cheese instead of cow's because I read the type of proteins in this milk is different. Let's see if it will trigger some reaction.
god bless you dr berry
Thank you doctor. How about a diet to prevent skin cancer?
We finally discovered that milk was causing my daughter to have bad acne so cut out the milk and her acne cleared up and her skin was looking great. We started putting a couple of drops of iodine in our coffee in the mornings and her acne returned. I did not make the connection until I was researching how to get rid of fungus on her show lambs and ran across an article that stated that taking iodine can cause acne breakouts. We stopped the iodine, her skin is looking better but still not as clear as before taking the supplament. I also read that taking high doses of B12, I think it was, can also cause acne too. Any thoughts on this?
Thank you so much
Dr.Berry what are your thoughts on raw milk?
Wow!!!and thank you
Is it normal to experience acne when starting IF as a middle age woman on no medications? Because I am experiencing a MAJOR issue with that, one week into IF. My diet has not changed substantially, though I am eating less carbs, and I do not eat a lot of dairy to begin with as I discovered years ago that it gives me cystic acne. Any insight? Is it just my body adjusting to my new eating habits, and it should subside in time, or is this a sign I am doing something wrong?
Can you please do a video on carpel tunnel?? Sorry, I have no idea if that’s the right spelling!! Anyways, wondering if a keto diet can improve that?? I know it’s probably caused by inflammation, but wondering if changing the diet will help?? Thanks!!
Welcome back
I just turned 40 and have been dealing with a resurgence of acne, since I started KETO, I've also upped my dairy, mainly Kerry Gold cheese and butter... I'll try to cut all the dairy out to see if that does it...
I've been struggling with acne still at the age of 33. Almost 3 years on Keto and it's still bad, almost worst, even though I've long cut out all sugar and grains for a while. I was still eating full fat dairy, but was diagnosed with alpha-gal about a month ago, so now I've cut out all dairy too (as well as all mammal meat...). Hopefully just longer without dairy will eventually clear it up. My wife is constantly nagging me not believing it has to do with acne is always trying to get me to go to the dermatologist for prescriptions or trying to put these masks and creams on my face. It's frustrating lol.
Thank you for this video! However, isn't 25-50mg of zinc/day very high?
My siblings and I never had more than the occasional blemish; we grew up on mostly home grown/cooked foods (farm family); ate very little processed foods. Pre-modern cultures simply don’t have the issue with acne.
I’d like to say this to my 22 year old daughter who suffers from acne, but want to be as sensitive as I can when sharing this.
Love you dr. Berry I sent to my stubborn daughter at 19 lol
Doc how do you feel about Berries? Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries? I make smoothies every morning with these berries and kale. Does berries spike my insulin which will cause inflammation?
I notice when I eat terribly, take out, food on the go, etc I get acne and sweat more.
When I eat more meat 🥩 drink salty water at least once a day along side some fruits, I have great skin.
Zinc helped my acne way back in the 80s. But be careful though, I was taking way too much zinc and it causes anemia.
