Answers:
Stop eating sugar, white flour, white rice, bread, pasta and potatoes! Honestly, the obesity epidemic and acne epidemic are related. Try the Atkins, or South Beach Diet, or a low GI (glycemic index) diet such as a person with diabetes would eat. This really worked for me, as a side effect of controlling my blood sugar.
On top of that, any over the counter products with benzoil peroxide, salicylic acid and/or alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) are the best proven products.
From Wikipedia:
"High carbohydrates/High GI
It has also been suggested that there is a link between a diet high in refined sugars and other processed foods and acne. According to this hypothesis, the startling absence of acne in non-westernized societies could be explained by the low glycemic index of these cultures' diets. Others have cited possible genetic reasons for there being no acne in these populations, but similar populations shifting to these diets do develop acne.[citation needed] Note also that the populations studied consumed no milk or other dairy products.[7] Further research is necessary to establish whether a reduced consumption of high-glycemic foods (such as soft drinks, sweets, white bread) can significantly alleviate acne, though consumption of high-glycemic foods should in any case be kept to a minimum, for general health reasons.[8] Avoidance of 'junk food' with its high fat and sugar content is also recommended.[9] On the other hand there is no evidence that fat alone makes skin oilier or acne worse.
One study [specify] suggested that chocolate, french fries, potato chips and sugar, among others, affect acne. A high GI (glycemic index) diet that causes sharp rises in blood sugar worsens acne. [10] If this study's conclusions are verified then a low GI diet may help acne also, but a 2005 review of somewhat dated scientific literature cannot affirm either way.[11] A study in November 2006 in Australia gave a 50% reduction in 12 weeks in mild-moderate facial acne by introducing its subjects to a high protein, low GI diet.[12]"
