Key Takeaways: 00:00 - Focus on improving internal health to address acne root causes, including minimizing inflammation and hormonal imbalance through diet, sleep, and stress management. 05:01 - Avoid high glycemic foods, dairy, and processed snacks; opt for fruits, vegetables, and natural, unprocessed foods. Consider making smoothies for convenience and nutrition. 08:12 - Incorporate green tea into your daily routine for its rich antioxidants, which can promote healthier skin and reduce oxidative stress. 09:37 - Consider vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) supplements as a potential acne treatment, as it aids in skin moisture retention, barrier repair, and toxin prevention. 11:27 - Manage stress and prioritize sleep to regulate hormone levels, reduce inflammation, and support overall skin health. 13:17 - Maintain skin hygiene by keeping tools clean, showering before bed, and minimizing face touching to prevent bacteria transfer and skin irritation. 14:22 - Reduce makeup usage, especially during acne flare-ups, and take advantage of hormonal cycles to transition to wearing less makeup. 16:41 - Avoid popping zits, but if necessary, only pop ripe ones using sterilized tools and cover with spot patches to aid healing and prevent infection.

Stopping dairy and refined carbs was a game changer for me. I used to get painful cystic acne; people underestimate the power of diet. Stress mitigation is harder for me because it just appears all the time at school, I feel like I can’t anticipate it or reduce it from happening.

[@kyucumber6319]

Yeah I 100% agree it's hard to maintain good balance for all of these things (stress, food, skincare, etc) especially if you have important priorities like school and work in your life. So maybe try to optimize other things you can control as much as you can and hopefully that will also positively affect your energy level and stress!

I suffer from acne around 8 years. It was a painful journey. I start consuming a mixed of fermented foods (natto, miso, and kimchi) because they are easy and affordable to find in Japan. My coworkers, Japanese moms, mentioned me about combining fermented foods in their diet and how it's a game changer for their skin. I consume them just once daily in the afternoon (when I am not drinking coffee/tea 1 hour before to maximize the nutrient absorption). It has been a month, and I am super happy to see the difference. Korean skincare also a game changer for me, but I find the progress is slower compared to a gut healing method with foods. I admire your content and natural remedies you mentioned - I will add them too to my routine!

[@kyucumber6319]

I totally feel you. It affects so many aspects of your life. And yes! Fermented foods are great!

Using Tretinoin is like going to the gym, at first it will feel like hell, but baby the results overtime will be insane.

[@kyucumber6319]

I definitely agree with all the benefits of Tretinoin which I actually tried 2 times. I saw a great result in the first round but after a year, my acne started to come back despite of continued usage, so I decided to stop using it. The 2nd time I was on, it just didn't seem to work on reducing my acne while the purge and extreme dryness / irritation continued for several months. So I think it can also just come down to your internal health issues. Instead of using prescribed Tret, I now occasionally use L'Oreal 0.3% Pure Retinol Night Serum, which still has high potency of Retinol but with other soothing ingredients, it didn't cause any purge and I find it much easier on my skin. Plus, it's an over the counter product which I find much easier to access.

[@dian277]

i've had pretty bad acne from puberty, ~11yo, to adulthood, ~30. I almost never wore make up, i didn't start drinking only half a cup of milk daily until ~25. I never regularly ate fast food, but I eat sweets that also contain milk regularly, was stressed and didn't get at least 8hrs of sleep per night most of the time throughout my academic years (middle school to grad school), didn't drink enough water, didn't clean linens regularly and used to pop my acne and touch my face with my fingers. I haven't really tried any medication until recent years. I have tried reducing sugar, dairy sweets and caffine intake and drinking more water. I'm washing my linens regularly now and not touching my face. I can't do anything about stress or sleep because of school and work. I have tried retinoid topicals and oral antibiotic which didn't make a significant difference. I'm using the OTC Differin gel and oral birth control now. I have to say, reducing sugar and dairy sweets didn't do anything significant, but avoiding caffeine did, which is why i'm hesitant to drink tea. I now mostly drink decaffeinated coffee with half a cup of milk only once a day. Also didn't notice any significant difference from washing linen, not touching my face or mornings after i get enough sleep. The only thing that significantly helped with my acne were reducing caffeine, Differin gel and oral birth control, and with no side effects that i'm aware of. Differin is made of adapalene, which is an alternative form of retinoid. The oral birth control reduces testosterone, which is a major hormone that causes acne. Spironolactone is another medication that reduces testosterone and is often used for severe cystic acne. I still have white/black heads and sebaceous filaments, but very few red comedones or cycsts. I have started wearing make up more frequently, ~2 times per week, and haven't noticed my acne getting any worse. Reducing sugar, and eating more fresh vegetables and fruits have major benefits in health overall, so i'm still doing that regardless of how little effect they have on my acne. My conclusion is that, good diet, hygiene, sleep and destress are great and should be done for the overall health, but when it comes to reducing acne, it varies by person. Same with medication, because everyone's cause of acne is different, they should use medication that treats the cause and not just any medication. Everyone also tolerates the side effects of medication differently, so you do have to try around before finding one that works best for you.

Thank you for this video. I have a very similar story to your acne journey. I have taken accutane twice, and by round 2 I felt terrible. While it did clear my acne, I felt anxious and less motivated in life. I decided to stop taking it near the end of the second round. I instantly felt better, but my skin was returning to it’s original state of acne. Although it wasn’t cystic acne like before it was still acne. I recently made the change of switching my diet and drinking more water, and I am seeing results. This video encouraged me to keep going and realize that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Reducing diary helped me a lot to clear my acne! I went on this self diet avoiding sugar COMPLETELY but consuming about 2 big glass of fullfat milk daily. Little did i know that i was gonna be bombarded with the painful cystic acne all my cheeks. Worse than that i decided to continue the diet for 2 weeks, the acne got worse and worse. Knowing diary consumption was the root cause, i stopped it completely. And my skin cleared up pretty much though I've some dark spots left, but it's slowly fading away too. Note that i did not eat any kind of sugar or processed foods during the period. It was diary all along!

I do agree healthy foods do improve our skin a lot. Other than benefiting the skin, something i do notice after consistently eating healthy well balanced meals is my overall health and mental health improved tremendously. I am quite shocked at how positive my emotions were the whole month i ate healthily (i usually was quite depressed like 10 days before my period starts due to hormonal change). And also, my period usually has a lot of dark big blood clots but that month, my period was like pure fresh bloods. Period pain was also lessened by a lot. I am truly impressed how well balanced meals impact my body. I don't take any suppliment that whole month too other than vitamin c which i started taking many years ago everyday.

I struggled with regular acne outbreaks from my 20s until late 30s, always leaving horrible scars.

These days I only use carrot oil, vitamin C, a retinol cream and sunscreen (Japanese brands without perfume). Since i have started to stick to this simple skincare routine, my skin / skin barrier fully recovered, and I rarely get any pimples.

How do you do your skincare if you are going to the gym?

cleanse and moisturize after you workout

[@kyucumber6319]

It’s great you’re planning to work out more often! I think it’s the best to wash your face after workout since your sweat can mix oil and bacteria on your skin, which can end up clogging your pores. If I were you, I’d also consider washing my hair too but it would depend on your circumstances :)

I knew I never wanted to go on accutane because I prefer a more holstic approach than traditional western skincare, no shade to it. After a while of stressing out over what is the best posible thing I can use for not just my acne, but my overal hormonal health. After all the over exfoliating with salicylic acid and not enough sunscreen.. I finally discovered Korean skincare!! and really dove into that, I started focusing more on hydration and anti-inflammatory ingredients and BOY did that make a difference.. I only started seeing real results at the end of 2023.. but after a year of gradually focusing on hydrating and moisturizing over exfoliation I have seen AMAZING results.

Thank you very much!

I've been using Niacinamide serum from The Inkey List for about a month now. I'm being patient though for my pimples and dark spots hehe

Good luck! 👍

Do you think Benzoyl peroxide 2.5 is also bad to treat??

[@kyucumber6319]

I would never say Benzoyl Peroxide is a bad treatment option. I heard it works wonders to many people with acne. However, many times I tried it, I realized it wasn’t for me due to skin irritation and how it seemingly combined small surface pimples into big cyst acne deep in my skin. Not sure how this seems to happen but my uneducated guess is it might be suppressing small pimples until they develop into bigger cysts. But I need to do more research to be able to confirm this theory 🙃

I have learned oral hygiene is very important. When some people sleep they slobber alot and the mouth bacteria ends up on your face causing outbreaks. Before bed floss, brush and this is very important rinse with an oral antiseptic. Also change your bedding once a week especially your pillow case.

Useful tips 👍

What’s your skincare routine for morning and night? Do you use any actives or anti acne skincare?

Some people may also want to look into their water. I tried everything from different diets, more water, topical creams and soaps but my skin changed when i moved to a new apartment. the water was so bad and had a strong chlorine smell that i had to imvest in an under sink water filter. ever since then ive seen a huge improvement in my skin

[@kyucumber6319]

That’s a great point! I never thought about it but it makes a total sense. Good thing that you noticed your water was an issue! 😁

[@THALOOTI]

It is very important to keep the filter clean. If you don't do this, all kinds of bacteria and the like will grow in it, and the water quality will actually become worse instead of better.

[@hoorainanjum552]

Okay taking shower every night is kinda not convenient for many people I agree with the rest of the info. When my hair are contributing in breakouts it usually break outs the side buns or the forehead. I changed so many shampoos until I found the one that doesnot breaks my skin out. I would say that herbal ones are the best. Avoid chemical shampoos as much as possible. Also still not letting your hair touch your face as a preventative measure wouldn’t be bad. Also sleeping straight and not touching the bed or comforter is the best!

[@kyucumber6319]

Yeah for sure. I think avoiding contact with your face really helps quite a lot because we don't have any idea how much bacteria and germs that our hands, hair and other things that come in contact with our face have! They're just not visible to our eyes 👀

I am on a no diary no sugar no processed food diet for 3 months and I am already seeing improvement in my acne. I was also under those medication for 6 months but my acne always find a way to come back. And how did you get rid of the acne spots and scars?

[@kyucumber6319]

That’s awesome you’re seeing improvements! I think patience and continuous maintenance are the key. I still have hyperpigmentations but nicinamide seems to be the best and safest solution for me so far!

I can’t give you any medical advice but maybe try cutting it to see if your skin improves! I think it’s worth experimenting with cutting certain food you regularly eat to assess how much it affects your health and skin :)

My diet is perfect. My sleep schedule is perfect. I sometimes stress, but not TOO much. I change my bed sheets 2x a week. I do not touch my face with dirty hands. I do Pilates everyday. I wash my face and put on jojoba oil afterwards, everyday. What the heck am I doing wrong? I’ve had acne since I’m 11. I’m now 15. My brother also has acne. Please help me

I finally cleared my acne by this 3: using Adapalene, minimising dairy intake & DIM supplement from NOW Foods brand 🧡🧡🧡

[@kyucumber6319]

Amazing! I’m also considering to try out Differin gel as well. I also should take DIM supplement since I’ve heard great things about it 😊

Regarding taking vitamin B supplements, i noticed it gave me acne around my mouth area when taking it...

[@mkblitzgameplay4605]

I can attest that pantothenic acid helps the skin to fight off acne. I had even considered it as holy grail. It is, however, not safe for my liver. I have developed a non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) by taking a high dose of Vit b5 (mind you that I only took 6 caps of which a day for 3 mons). Bcoz of the NAFL, it coz my skin to be very itchy as well. Now im taking meds to get rid of the NAFL, and im also breaking out anew.

[@fayafshar]

Can you share more? Did your doctor say NAFL was caused by the B5 in take? So you definitely had no liver issues before taking B5? thanks

[@mkblitzgameplay4605]

I had no liver issues before taking it. My SGPT/ALT was within the normal range. I do not smoke (obviously I dont drink alcohol as well as softdrinks) and Ive been very conscious to what i eat bcoz of hyperacidity. Hepa screening results are non-reactive as well. My Physician told me that it cud be due to high dose of Vit B5, but there is no direct correlation. I searched it online then I saw that one side effect of it is increased ALT. That convinced me to stop taking it.

[@mkblitzgameplay4605]

All those times I thought that Vit B5 can counter the formation of fatty liver, but in some cases it can cause adverse effect like in my case. BTW, Ill undergo another Blood Chem and Abdominal Ultrasound in the last week of April. I might take VitB5 again but under strict monitoring and only if my SGPT/ALT falls within the normal range again. If it wasnt for acne fighting effect of VitB5, Ill wud not consider taking it anew.

What to do with puffy under eye

[@engmohamedabdalla7704]

Did u tried Eucrine products before

[@kyucumber6319]

No I haven't! But I'd love to give it a try :) What did you particularly like about their products?

[@aemon9890]

I gave tretinoin 2 full years, i was like 16 when i started it..... it worked great in the start but my acne came back after few months, i decided to be patient and gave it an other year but it was worst then before..... i had literally breakdowns cuz i cant be wasting these memorable years of my life with a face like that. anyways i decided to change my dermatologist, and told him that tretinoin didn't work, he gave me 2% clindamycin topical solution and a salicylic acid gel. it has been a year and i don't get that bad acne anymore, i do get some pimples from time to time when my internal health is really bad but its still not the same acne i used to get back then. Also my skin was at its peak literally glowing when i cut down sugars for a month, but then school air infected me after summer break lmfao. anyways at that time i realized acne is no longer my problem, i had learned how to fix it, now i mostly have clear skin and even if i get some pimples, i don't stress over it. all i have to do is eat good and keep my skin clean..... (p.s. before tretinoin i gave benzoyl peroxide a chance too and it didn't work.... so really everyone DO have different skins, its really a trial and error method to find out what works for you)

[@kyucumber6319]

Yeah I’ve also used Clindamycin and Tretinoin at the same time and I think efficacy for both went down the longer I used them. So definitely agree that it really depends on your conditions and chemistry with different products and methods :)

[@saveyourself_234]

What how could your doctor say that! When I had to take accutane my doctor told me so many times that if I’m feeling mood changes or depression to stop immediately.

That sounds frustrating! It’ll be in your best interest to eat healthy tho 😢

This is because all the toxins and grease from fast food is now being released (through acne breakouts). Your body is detoxing. It gets ugly before it gets pretty
