Let’s talk about the fastest way to get rid of acne. All it takes is the right knowledge, and you can get rid of acne fast.
Acne is an infection of the sebaceous glands. Sebaceous glands are the oil glands in the skin. What’s really behind this infection are hormones called androgens. Basically, your androgens are too high, which causes acne.
Top causes of acne:
• Low SHBG
• High insulin
How to get rid of acne:
• Stop eating sugar and refined carbs
• Stop snacking
• Do intermittent fasting
• Take milk thistle
• Take berberine (or have as a tea)
• Drink green tea (or use a face cream containing green tea)
• Get plenty of zinc and copper (try a trace mineral blend containing zinc and copper)
• Don’t pop your zits
• Don’t over-cleanse or scrub your skin
• Get a water filter for your shower that filters out fluoride
• Avoid dairy
The best remedies for acne scars:
• Vitamin E oil (rub into your skin before bed every night)
• Dermatrophin PMG (take one before bed for 3-6 months)

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps explain how to get rid of acne fast.
For me I cleared my acne by: 1. Stopped eating all sugary foods, and started a low carb diets (not keto but just low carbs) 2. Supplements(which I also learned from dr.berg previous acne video), Zinc, VitD, VitB, fish oils. Those two advices totally changed my skin, thank you so much dr Berg❤️
How much carbs do u eat a day ?
@@raddgreatrad1654 I wasn’t really counting since I was in college and didn’t know how to count the carbs, All I did was stopped all sugar, stopped all processed foods (since most of those also contain sugar), and took my daily supplements. I only eat meats, vegetables, and “regular” carbs, like rice, and sometimes pasta. Plus daily exercises, I remember it took me a few month to see significant improvement but my acne was really bad so that’s probably why took longer to clear my skin.
Congratulations on clearing up your acne! Did you introduce each supplement gradually or did you begin taking all them at once?
@@hackusute7285 thank you, I remember I started all my “acne supplement” at the same time, but I spread them out through the day, so I figured that would be easier for my body to absorb them. Also, I forgot to mention the vegetables that really helped is cruciferous vegetables (also learned it from dr.Berg’s previous acne videos), and fish oil I took was cod liver fish oil, which is loaded with vitamin A, it helped a lot in controlling the clogging of pores from excess oil.
Hey can I take a multivitamin and a fish oil supplement work? Since multivitamin does contain zinc vitd and vitb right?
What has helped me to get rid of the acne completely: 1. I stopped all sugary sweet foods as well as processed carbs (rice, bread, pasta, etc) and practised IF 2. I stopped all the dairy (Way too high in estrogen/hormones = inflammatory) Except for kefir, yogurt and optionally raw milk 3. I added probiotic foods like yoghurt, kefir, sauerkraut, homemade lacto fermented veggies and optionally raw milk (fresh from the organic farmer, not heat treated or homogenized, no de-natured proteins, still having all the enzymes and probiotic bacteria alive) 4. I treated my skin with probiotcs as well, in this case Apple Cider Vinegar. Mixing 1 tsp water with 1 tsp ACV. Dabbing a cotton patch in it, cleaning the skin with it, then washing the rest off with fresh water. No other products. The probiotics in the ACV are very helpfull for the natural skin bacteria and it keeps super oily skin dry for the rest of the day. 5. I made sure to get enough Zinc, Vit D3, Vit A, Vitamin E, Omega 3s and B-Vitamins into my diet. Best would be through food (grass fed beef and it's organs such as liver and heart, cod liver, egg yolks), but supplements were ok too (good quality cod liver oil for instance) 6. Green veggies!! Lots of them. I juiced them whenever I couldnt eat them. -Note on Green Juice: Green bitter juices are *very beneficial for a congested liver* (mostly caused by fructose overload). A helpful juice recipe could look like: Celery stalks, arugola, dandelion leafes, broccoli or kale, ginger, lots of lemon to counteract the bitter taste. Having this juice daily for a week or 2 can really change skin complexion if fruit has been cut out during that time. 7. I avoided vegetable/seed oils for cooking and stuck with Olive Oil. Seed oils encourage inflammation, in turn causing acne. You can also cook with animal fats, if you like. Note: if you're a nut butter lover like me, switch to natural nut butters instead of conventional, which are also filled with seed oils. - Note on healthy Nutella Recipe: get yourself some hazelnut butter with nothing but 100% hazelnut in it and mix in some natural unsweetend cacao powder or molten dark chocolate and add a sweetener of your choice. You just got yourself the most decadent luxurious healthy Nutella there is. No need to buy the jarred stuff ;) 8. Exercise! Exercise lowered my inflammatory response to sugar. Both cardio and strength training worked well for this. Resistance trainig had a longer lasting effect, since sufficient muscles were build in that time Note: Most of the time, for gym-people who have bad acne it's not actually the carbs, but whey protein and binding chemicals in protein shakes, too much dairy as protein source, highly processed carbs and vegetable oils or nutritional deficiencies. Exercise can take a toll on your body and thus use up most of your stored vitamins and nutrients much quicker than can be replaced. 9. I avoided stress. Especially over-exercising would stress my body on a cellular level, causing dysfunction in my hormone system and causing acne! Gotta take our rest days seriously. We shouldnt under-eat our calories for quick weight loss. We should get on a good sleep schedule. 10. Contraception pills and IUD's. This one's for the ladies and I want to point out that *I am not a doctor and this is not to be taken as medical advice* but hormonal contraceptives, even a copper IUD (made of copper wire on a *piece of plastic* which inevitably leaches hormonal toxins into the body) can raise estrogen levels above normal. This will trigger it's counter-part testosterone to rise as well (bc the body always strives to stay in a balanced ratio) which can cause exessive sebum production in the face's oil glands, clogging pores and causing acne. They also depleate all improtant vitamins and nutrients in a terribly quick fashion, causing deficiency over time! 11. If you have PCOS like me, try spearmint tea (not peppermint). It lowers androgens and can help with hormonally caused acne too. Also make sure to eat your daily veggies and get in at least 15 mins of walking in every day. This will help eliminate your bowls very reliably every day, also excreting excess hormones. Always keep in mind: what worked for me might not work for you. *Know your triggers first* and only then try to use these tips to work on them. Hope this helps!
What is IF?
@@iarab.1588 intermittent fasting
Ah man I love rice
what about fruit sugar?
@@LORENNACORRAL sounds harsh but I also refrained from fruit. Just a hand full of berries a day. No more. However, I underwent a liver cleanse as well. For 2 weeks straight i cut out ALL sugar including all fruit. And i made a bitter green juice every day with celery juice, dandelion greens, arugola and a whole lemon. No fruit for sweetness. One glass every morning on an empty stomach. It also helped clear my skin and my tolerance for fruit got waaaay better after that. I no longer break out from fruit that easily and I believe it has to do with the liver detox. Before that just a plain apple would already make me break out. Maybe this helps a bit :)
1) low carb 2)no snacks 3) Take Milk thystle 4) Drink Green tea 5) Avoid dairy and milk
6)Fasting helps
thank u!
Thank you for using your platform to educate acne sufferers on the root cause of acne not telling us to just use some product.

Imagine a Dr. that gives the most useful advices for free... This dude is an angel, he helps so much people without even asking for them to subscribe, that's a kind man. Edit : OMG ! I've never had so much likes, thanks guys 😭❤
I mean it’s not for free, KZhead is paying him per click, like, subscribe, etc. I get your point though.
It’s not asking for subs and likes, and getting into the subject In the first second, with no wasted words…. That makes me appreciate content enough to sub and like. Simple. Don’t ask. Deliver.
Great post but have a brain and have some respect for the man by not calling him dude and addressing him the proper way😉
I went to a dermatologist who told me that diet has no effect on acne and all that matters is the acne bacteria, which she told me accutane kills. Needless to say, she was desperate to write me that accutane script (which I refused)
I Agree
I can feel my acne go away listening to him 🙏

Same here!

I’m so glad to see your comment, i suddenly break out and I how no ideas why it gets worse when I treat it so carefully

U have better skin cuz u older now
@@Wolf_runner12I don’t know if this is intentionally supposed to make no sense
It is refreshing to have a Dr. come out and explain to you how to get better by changing bad habits vs just prescribing medication that usually has side effects.
so he's probably 'pseudo-doctor' to the rest of the industry hehe, that's how it goes, sadly
@@Yarblocosifilitico Yep, as we have seen for the last two years, the medical field is run by big pharma and federal government. You don't fall in line with their demands, they, along with their hired politicians, will destroy your career and try to take away your medical license. Name one anti-jab, anti-mask, pro-preventative measures medical professional that hasn't been cancelled or career destroyed by big pharma and feds.
I wish more doctors would be like this with an emphasis on improving habits and diet and helping us with natural treatments rather than prescribing away pharmaceutical drugs every chance they get
@@jgjg3848 I hate this society. Most of the things they tell you are completely lies. I wish these corrupted scums🔥 in hell.
The vast majority of acne can be cured by retinol or tretinoin and these have no side effects as long as you apply sunscreen.
This is the most thorough yet concise explanation on how to get rid of acne I’ve ever come across. Never learned this from any dermatologist. Thank you, Dr. Berg!
Most welcome! Glad you found it informative!

@@umarzaheer5759 I Will help you brother. First of all he explains to lower the SHBG wich is hormones that are either androgens or estrogens. You do this by 1. Lower carbs 2. Stop with snacking (sugars,junk food etc. 3. Intermittent fasting 4. Eating milk thustle You also need to lower your insulin levels, which you do by everything above. Not over washing your face to preserve the good natural bacteria on the skin, also try Green Tea and zinq and Copper supplements as well as adding burberine to your diet.

Hola Doctor Hermoso¿Cual es el motivo por lo que algunos comen mucha azúcar y no les sale acné y a otros sí?
I can't thank you enough for making this video. I learned so much and have been struggling with so much confusion with my acne and scarring.
@Jennifer Hacker it’s never that simple, is it?
Okay did it work?
My biggest skincare regret was using Proactive when my acne wasn’t bad to begin with. It destroyed my skins barrier, led to moderate acne, and took years to reverse. Hydrafacials, committing to a skincare regimen, moisturizing, not touching my face, drinking tons of water, wiping my phone screen, and washing my pillow cases have made a big difference in my skin
I used proactive cream and my face looked like a pizza. Never me again but the toner was good though.
Happened to me too😐
@Sam Kearns you are the only person who mentioned washing pillowcases or changing them daily. People who are trying to get rid of acne should use clean pillowcases everyday!!
Could you share what your current skincare regimen is?
oh gosh that might be the same for me. I actually had moderate acne at the time but whenever i used it constantly i always ended up having 1 - 2 huge pimples on my face. Never touching that thing again.
I have hormonal acne and I must say this is the MOST informative video I have found on the Internet throughout all these years!
Your videos are such gems! Simple, very well explained and very entertaining. Not a bit boring. My father was one of the first chiropractors in Florida and was very instrumental in setting us the Florida Chiropractic Association. I rememeber the days of the Medical establishment trying to take DCs out. A few in high school acutally told me to my face my father was a quack - obviously gotten from their parents as no kid was watching this on TV. Again, your information is pure gold!
hi dr berg. i went to your site but i did not see a VITAMIN E OIL stock, only the Dermatrophin PMG. what brand of vitamin e oil do you recommend for ACNE SCARS on face? and doc can it (e oil) be applied together after the toner? thank you
I have been badly affected by acne for most of my life. The one thing which really improved my acne was fasting every year. As a Muslim we have to fast for a month every year. I noticed an improvement when I fasted. I also did water only fasting at certain point of my life. This was around 3 days a week. And that really improved my acne.
What was your diet during that time period?
@@GabrielWJensen could have been the alcohol
The monthly fasting is a bonus and I’m going to incorporate it into my diet this year.
I think eating more organically helps as well... I go back and fourth currently trying to eat much better but I used to fast and ate organtic/healthier (always Vegas, protein u guys were right prob not high carb) and my skin got better.
You have to? And if you don't?
Thank you KZhead for suggesting this video. I know for a fact that people like me have their confidence shattered to core with acne problems. Even your own people sometimes see you with disgust. It's been three years since I have had acne and pimples on my face, and I haven't been myself since then 😕
I think avoiding milk and drinking green tea has shown really good improvement for me. It’s only been 15 days. I’m going to continue and see the progress!!!
Really??
Please reply I'm crying because of my acne😭😭😭

Good Doctor, is there an alternative cheaper way to heal the acne scar other than the PMG option? And if usimg Vitamin E oil, what is the affordable option brand or name you recommend that is available internationally as I am from Indonesia. Thank you!

I have never written a comment on KZhead before, but now I just can't stop expressing my gratitude for this channel! Thank you so much for sharing all this information Dr. Berg, your work is amazing!
That was a wonderful comment for a first try.
Have your skin recovered by this information ? Thank you.
Plz tell me what exactly do to eliminate acne
Thanks for the info as always! Would these tips also apply to cystic acne?
Dermastamping with the Banisher2.0 helps as well. It treats the scars without hitting the active acne. Plus, it helps in making sure that your skin care is well absorbed by the skin and wont clog pores.
Absolutely loving your recent content; such good information to have, so clear and so concisely packaged!

Go get yourself wild chaga elixir and you'll be shocked by the results. Not only that it cleans your skin, but also it makes your hair shiny and healthy within a week! My friend's been using it since September and her skin is glowing, her hair is so shiny, and what's even more crazy it's that her eyes became even bluer. It's totally insane what wild chaga does to you. She also said that her energy is over the roof, never been so focused and motivated, hasn't been sick since she started drinking it. She convinced even me, even tho i don't have any skin issues but i have to feel those other benefits, so i ordered it few days ago. Trust me on this ladies, it will be your best investment ever. One more thing, make sure you buy the real organic wild chaga elixir, not some modified crap.
Where can i buy it?
The number of gullible people in the world is too damn high.
Could you pls share link of the product you’re talking about?
Heyy!!! Are u sure about it
what even ☠️
Thanks to your videos, I began fasting the last week of June of this year. I just received my blood test results and my insulin levels went from 66 to 18! Granted I still need to get it lowered but wow! Fasting really works! I've just incorporated exercising during my eating periods so hopefully I lose all my weight too! Thank you for educating us all!
how you do ur fasting , can i know?
I’ve followed Dr Berg for about a month. This is the clearest my face has been in years. I’m a 50yo female. The dermatologist called it hormonal acne and wanted to put me on spirnalactone which is a diuretic. I declined that medicine. It’s taken me since 2008 to actually listen to people like Dr Berg. I’m a nurse and used to teach diabetics how to get well(ha). The longer I’m in the medical field I realize it’s a big money thing. Change your diet. Yes it’s going to be uncomfortable at first but depression, acne, systemic inflammation are so on and so are not worth it.
my dermatologist said same thing. i haven't been back since. I will take this DR advice instead
What is wrong with Spirnalactone if I may ask?
@@p2bakshi it depletes the fluid in your body bc it’s a diuretic. Also, it’s not addressing the root cause: your diet.
Can you please let me know if you consume eggs?
@@AMcDub0708 you are correct however I’ve learned that the dose used for acne is not the same dose used as a diuretic. So it shouldn’t be a problem but I was hesitant to use it too until I realized that point!
These were such informative and helpful tips! I'll keep your words in mind and follow them! Thank you so much, Dr. Berg! 🙏🏼🌿
I have mild acne, and I've noticed that ever since my skin problems started I have been constantly consuming more sugar and carbs. I will take this helpful information into account when making my next food decisions, thank you very much!
And for those of you with back acne: 1. Wash your bed sheets weekly, and use sheets that are non-irritating (I use bamboo). 2. Rinse your back with water and lightly scrub with a normal towel after sweating (and switch shirts if you've sweated significantly) That said, I still get acne from sitting through a long movie, right where my back presses against the seat. I don't know what to do about that.
Also shower with cold water helpsso much!!
Washing skin contact clothes - especially underwear - at 60*C and above helped many!
i ever even knew u could get acne there until i felt it on my back
Back acne is caused by chlorine, after drinking filtered water that also eliminates flouride, all my back acne has disappeared.
back acne sucks
A doctor that gives natural remedies as well👀👀 You are a blessing🙏🏽
Thanks Dr Berg, for years Ive struggled with breakouts and put it down to genetics cause my mum has oily skin. But growing up with family life and studying at university my stress levels were always super high. And liver not great. Makes sense thanks again genius.
From Cambodia 🇰🇭 here . I rarely post comment on KZhead. But I’m super grateful to have come across this video. Dr Berg , you have helped restore my self esteem and allow me to take control of my life again. I’m in my mid 30s and I have had acne problem over the last 1.5yrs, I have gone through various treatments and spent a lot of money and time but nth seemed to work. I found this video about 2m back and followed your advice, now I don’t have new acne for 3 weeks now ! I feel a lot better and I’m still doing fasting , limit sugar carbs and diary. Next is to clear all acne scars on my face :) Thank you so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@ Dr. Berg: is it safe to bind the immunoglobulin M as it is part of our Immune system? dont we need this? i would love to try the Dermatrophin PMG but i am a bit afraid.
This guy is the truth. I wish more youtubers put out useful content like this. We waste so much time watching videos with just fluf and the person repeating the same thing for 10 minutes. Thank you for your time and effort.
Instead of giving some usefull info those fools most youtubers 10 minutes telling their past story how they got acne like someone will care, that videos annoys me af
💯
Prayers for you berg ! Stay happy and healthy ever .
Great video! Some key points were highlighted that I hadn't heard anyone else discuss. Thank you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! You are a sincere person to share all the knowledge you know to help people! I watch your videos! I love them and God bless you so much more in life! You are a great person ☺️ Once again thank you doctor.
I came across this video today and I gotta say I began doing two things right according to your list. I began intermittent fasting 6 months ago. I also did a Daniel’s fast which is basically a vegan fast and found out I am lactose intolerant. I stayed away from milk ever since I found my food intolerance. No lactose along with intermittent fasting has made my acne smaller than before. My face still has acne but it is better than before. I am definitely going to try following the other tips you gave in the video!
1. High androgen levels (High insulin - eating too much sugar and carbohydrates) 2. Popping acne, and overscrubbing skin - dirt is not the problem 3. Green tea - good inflamatory 4. Zinc and copper 5. Milk and dairy high inflamation 6. Dermatrophine PMG
Dermatrophie PMG is good?
Berberine tea, too.
@@jonifrt6gvt yes ... it's a medication which makes your scar disappear, should consume daily for 3-6 months depending on how intense your scar is !
Green tea isn't a good inflammatory mate ....it works as an anti-inflammatory and has similar properties:)
Vitamin E Oil for scary
I will try this. I do also change my pillowcase everyday, not using sugar like strawberry jam on bread anymore instead only chickenfilet. I get chemical peeling every 4 weeks and i use a supplement like omega-3 and zinamax. What are your thoughts of zinamax?
I love this!!! As an esthetician, I love to treat skin BUT most importantly educate clients on how they can get to root cause & live a healthier life and have beautiful healthier skin. Thank u so much Dr Berg! I share all your knowledge with my clients & friends & family ❤
Same here Can we be friends?
I had acne for many years until I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety and since I started with my therapy i got super clear skin. I was anaware of the stress my body had to indure. I feel better and my skin got almost perfect. I didn't change anything else just started with therapy.
You know, that is amazing to hear because most people don't realise that stress is a major factor to acne. I share in my latest post my experience of this too. Hope it helps!
What therapy?
An antidepressant (citralopram), bih.cognitive terapy and only when I feel I need it Xanax (which I rarely use- the last one a month ago I think).
Is citroplam pill good, you got rid of acne
As a master esthetician- I fully approve this! I wish we were taught this in school. 💖
Me too! We were never taught right on diet and skincare. Then when I went to a dermatologist for acne problems when I was a teenager all they would do was prescribe antibiotics and creams through the pharmacy (RX prescription) but never get to the real root causes of acne. Prescription drugs do sometimes work but it’s like putting a band aid over the problem. Dermatologist doctors here in the United States are all for the big pharmaceutical’s.
Can you mention the name of the cream
I've had acne since puberty into my 40s. It was never a terrible amount but I'd have breakouts around my temples and forehead all the time. Cutting out sugar and processed food made a huge difference. I'll still get the very occasional pimple once in a while but it's improved by about 95%. I can tell a difference when I go on vacation because I'll eat more processed foods and refined grains than usual and I'll get a few extra pimples. I wish I knew this info back in high school when I would drink tons of soda.
Please share your diet plan
@@ridasohail1709 I eat as naturally as possible. I rarely eat packages foods with dozens of ingredients. I stick with a lot of eggs, chicken, tons of vegetables, at least 1 piece of fruit a day and alot of salads. My salads have literally everything on them.. onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, green peppers, celery, olives, pickles, avacado, and more. I make my own salad dressings with olive oil and seasonings. I avoid almost all Vegetable oils (they are literally in almost everything so it's hard to fully avoid them), sugar, never drink pop, rarely eat sugary snacks...no donuts, cakes, or stuff like that. I will still have the occasional pizza like once a month. This in combination with daily exercise not only helps with acne but just health in general. My health stats are literally perfect (body weight, BP, A1C, cholesterol, RHR), and I take zero prescription meds
I used to drink Mountain Dew a lot. And the school had many vending machines.
yes, sugar and processed food is the main culprit.
Amazing he is literally so clear about everything that happens during teenage
It would "appear" that our doctors at large are really AGENTS OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL industry! Thanks Dr. Berg for caring!
As well as politicians.
They work for the 👹 We live in the evil system. God, I hate this society. 🤮
Yes I agree, my skin is oily, my doctor gave me medicine which made my skin more oily causing more breakout
I was wise to that fact years ago, why I always seek natural remedies at any cost and also just try to look after myself
So obvious after covid
I listened to Doc and have followed these steps for 2 weeks. My acne had decreased substantially! Changed up my diet, drank tons of water, eliminated sugars and carbs snacks, not over washing my face anymore either. Thanks again youre such a blessing!!!!!
Thanks doc! But I have a question, what if the acne is from an allergic reaction to something I’ve used and not from sugar etc, do I treat the reaction the same way ? Or is there a specific cream to use for allergic reaction?
He discussed the topic efficiently in a calm tone with less distractions.

Cutting sugar & cabs along with IF is the way to go. For all these years, I struggled with acne throughout my teenage years well into my late 20s. But now, it's not there anymore. I thank Doctors like Berg, Jason Fung, Pradip J, Ben Bikman and Robert L for this. God bless you all.
How to cut carbs if I work out? What are good sources of carbs? Can I even eat porridge or rice?
@@Wolf_runner12 it's a matter of habit... there's a lot of ppl who eat paleo/keto/carnivore - no carbs needed
@@Wolf_runner12same bro im except im very thin tsk
@@pancakesforyou7247 no diet changes helped me in 7 years bro, I left my first comment 8 motnhs ago and 6 motnhs ago I started accutaine which was the first and only thing that helped me. Looking and feeling much better, only having post acne redness to beat now. I wish I’ve started it in my high school that way I would have avoided insecurities, scars and missed opportunities…
What do you all replace pasta with? 😩
Gluten and dairy give me acne along with sugar. Usually if I can keep these to a minimum my skin stays pretty clear. For those who have stubborn acne that won’t respond to anything look into fungal acne. Stress does play a role for sure as it does with all health issues. Very sound advice on this video!
Mate, I wish I had of known this 40 years ago. My own kids are coming into their teens and this will help them with their confidence when the time comes. Thank you.
Hi Dr. Berg! Thank you so much for all your work in these videos! Can you do a video on what you think of the medication accutane? Thank you for you time!!
Milk thistle grows like wild in patches all over my hometown and my granma would prep it and press it into little slivers that i'd eat with breakfast before school. I've also been drinking green tea since high school. I went from straight pizza face to clean and clear. Also, i very much appreciate you mentioning cutting sugar out and keeping clean water. I am so grateful i found you! Bless you for being helpful to people instead of pharma.
I agree doc becouse since i scrub my face full force with peeling cream, i had acne anytime i ate alot of refined carb +sugar. Thank God now i am keto and i use kefir soup which really efective 88%. I wonder how i could this skin condition, perhaps recover back to it origin with those big pore.
I have two topicals from a dermatologist as well as a 2x a day medicine prescription and I’m still not seeing changes. I appreciate all these science-based suggestions Dr Eric!

I wish I had known you 30 years ago in my teens. God bless what you do. Thank you.

Search up Pore favor acne supplement. It has all the DV% for Vitamin A, Zinc, Copper, Vitamjn B5 (which he covered in a video which is tremendous for your hormones and acne), and vitamin E is contained in it. I’m just starting to take it
also vitamin C is in it which is great antioxidant
I'm glad that you mentioned dairy products, it's actually one of the leading causes of acne for many people. When I reduced my consumption of dairy I noticed that pimples started to pop out significantly rarer.
You're absolutely right mate. I've reduced the consumption of dairy products. That automatically healed my acne to a certain extent. Dairy increases acne that's a Fact!!!
100% - I stopped all dairy and acne cleared up within a month and never came back. If I eat even a little bit of dairy, I break out the very next day.
It is sad because dairy product are very good and I love they. But glad for you.
You’re right. I stopped drinking milk every time my dad tell me to drink milk I sneaked and poured them into the sink, my forehead acne started to become clear, but some unlucky occasions occurred and I started drinking milk again because of my dad. My forehead acne started to act up again.

I have dry skin and generally speaking, it’s kinda rare to have acne when you have less oil production on your face. But I do notice that when I fast and cut back carbs and junk food, and exercise everyday , my skin gets healthy and dewy. Instead of dull, dry skin. And I feel a lot more better , energetic and less grumpy and cranky. It’s amazing how certain food can make your mood shift
Appreciate this info. I was on my last leg and now I have a bit more hope that I can get this problem under control. I really hope this works. Thank you
I wish I had had this information in my teens.(I'm now in my 60's) Acne was devastating and no one could help. This is brilliant information. Awesome 🌟🙏🏻🌟
Glad you like the video. Sharing more tips here: www.youtube.com/@DrEricBergDC/search?query=acne -Dr. Berg's Support Team
from my experience stress could be the main reason for acne, however not for all it depends on your skin type! Thank your for the useful information
I love that doctors such as chiropractors can provide this info just like derms! 👍
thank you for this help, it really helps. i always had the depressing though of genetic acne going away when youre abt 25-30, but thanks for clearing everything up. evertything you said was new to me.
I’m in my early 20s and I stared the keto internment fasting this week. My old diet consistent on eating on grains, vegetables, fruits and chicken only. But then I discover Dr. Berg and it fascinated me to try keto. For the first time I’m dealing with a breakdown of acne, fatigue and mental stress down. I know I need more salt and electrolyte because I’ve been learning keto as doing it. But the acne has been a huge problem in my face. I’m giving keto a try for a good two months and I hope it’s just a phase because for a long time I avoided salt, meat and dairy and with keto I’m all of a sudden with these symptoms and eating not like I use to. I have a feeling my body is getting use to it, but I hope my acne goes away a my body receives the keto adjustment.
Thank you Dr. Berg. This video was really informative. I began with severe cystic acne when I was 9 years old until around age 37. It was all over my face and back. Sometimes the cysts on my back would bleed. I am now 78 years old. My father was a doctor and he prohibited me from eating chocolate, but he suspected sugar. I was on antibiotics for around 25 years, acne surgery, dry ice, radiation treatments etc. Nothing really helped until I went on accutane when it was still in the trial period. It was a miracle and I reacted to it favorably. We tried every treatment before that. At one point my father had a vaccination made from me. Nothing helped. I wish some of this information was available to me so many many years ago because it was a nightmare, especially the lack of condidence and being bullied.
I am so sorry you had to endure all that pain--emotional, mental, and physical. (I, too, know the struggle of acne, though not to the extent you experienced it.) I am sending you lots of love and healing energy for your heart 💗
Started at 9? My gosh that is young, you poor thing 😔 Glad you found relief
I’m so sorry you had to go through that. I had it through my teens on my face and back also...it destroys your self confidence. I was just lucky I didn’t get bullied, it could have happened quite easily. I was put on erythromycin at 16, and although it completely cleared the acne, I think it helped cause a lot of immune issues in me. Diet has helped to reverse it, but you’re right, this sort of information wasn’t around then. Hopefully you have found peace as an adult. ❤️
Your poor father too. He was sound to suspect sugar, good man. Poor you though!
Dude! 25 years of antibiotics and ur still alive at 78???? You’re a fuckin trooper bro
I'm 18 struggling with acne and this video has been very good detailing almost everything I wanted to know in a single place so cheers!!
Hi, can you please let me know if it worked? I'm not sure if all these American foods are available here in India.
@@prashanthjha6932 If you’re able to, order the supplements online. You could perhaps even subscribe to have them delivered ever so often so you dont run out.
..the only effective remedy for acne is eating lemon (all parts); then eating lemon; after that... eating lemon. Then rubbing the face with lemon juice; then rubbing the face with lemon juice and still rubbing th eface with lemon juice. In short becoming a lemon addicted. You wil thank me in less than a few weeks.🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋
@@prashanthjha6932 I started including zinc supplements and green tea as well and cut back on dairy and sugar and actually saw decent progress
@@AyushSharma-of4bq greaaat
Thank you Dr Berg this information is fantastic as I didnt actually know the actual reasons for this happening. And I'll forward this on.
Your videos are always what I need ❤️ Thank you!
As someone who suffered from severe acne in the past, in my experience diet is more important than hygiene when it comes to acne. (Although both are important) Keep the sugar down and avoid processed food will bring you 90% of the way there
It doesn't add up, I've known countless people who only drink full sugar fizzy drinks, no water, don't eat fresh fruits and vegetables, yet have perfect skin. If it was one person I'd chalk it up to genetic luck, but Ive experienced all too often.
@@chrisbfreelance yep, lots of people at my work just buy fast food and fizzy drinks and call it a day. Of course their skin is perfect because reasons.
@@ENZOxDV9 if they have good skin genetics, then none of this matters to them because acne isn’t a problem for them anyways
as you say: acne is all diet. face washing has zero effect @Chris Browning these people have a powerful liver and were born of a very strong constitution. high level of resilience to the damage they are causing themselves. you never know if they take prescription drugs to combat acne. internally they are eroding.
For me it did not work But my acne was not too bad
Dr Berg is amazing by sharing your knowledge & helping us in the videos thank you. I’ve been watching your videos for over 2 yrs & it’s truly helped me share with my family or friends. Acne is a huge problem for my niece I will share this information with her. Thank you 🙏
Dr. Berg, you are absolutely brilliant!! Thank you for such magnificent explanations !! I wish I discovered you when I was a teenager !! But, now I have the privilege, relief, and comfort to HELP my granddaughter who is experiencing major acne issues. She had taken accutane several times but to no avail !! As you stated, she’s extremely upset and frustrated. I shall forward this video to her and encourage her to subscribe and watch all your videos pertaining to her acne issues. Thank you again very, very much Dr. Berg; you are truly phenomenal!!🙏💖🙏
Cut out gluten and dairy alone and my skin was perfect. Ate some gluten and dairy one day and BOOM within 1 day I developed 4 pimples. I’m very acne prone. 100% confirmed even a small amount can throw my body off
We are the same.
I’m allergic to gluten and dairy and I still get a little acne 😢
@@NotEwl look into pantothenic acid. If you are female, get on some progesterone cream...that can help get rid of it.
Doc, thank you for this video. Could you please do a video on the best treatments for dealing with Acne scarring.
I had clear skin up until I reached 13 and booommm, full on acne. I tried the route of accutane through a dermatologist which I found out later is really bad for me. Later I found I had to completely change my diet, take our dairy and gluten and go on a probiotic. My acne cleared up but I have scarring 😥
Fractional CO2 laser helps but careful ..there are scammers out there
Over time it will change. Patience is needed.
@@rodi2641 nothing helps with my scars. I've seen dermatologists, and I don't want to experiment with really expensive treatments. Keto helps to really clear my skin and also an affordable skin care regimen including tretinoin and sunscreen
@@5MinuteBody if it's bad and you really want it laser treatment helps
@@myshitonyoutube ok what type of laser?
Bless u Dr. Berg we all love and appreciate you so much
Thank you very much. Wishing you good health!
I had a severe case of acne during my teenage years. My back is covered in scars from where I had cysts. My recommendation is to take Eric Berg’s advice, but also to avoid using cream, even if it’s advised by your doctor. Every cream that I was prescribed caused skin irritation, and eventually acne.
Wow thank you, I’m going to forward this on to my Daughter as she is an adult and has a big issue with acne.... By the way I love all your videos, very informative and helpful 😊
Dr. Berg I appreciate your channel sooo much..I am 44 and have struggled with acne scarring and acne cyst breakouts every few months!! Iam currently on antibiotics for 30 days from my derm..while on theses meds I will work on all that u said..even though I eat healthy most times/exercise/drink lots of water/eat mostly plant-based...I still snack occasionally and love some carbs!! no dairy for me for a while...but I know that bread, chips, and rice break down to sugar & even fruits..fruits are good sugar but still, you get my drift!! thank you soooo much for this information...I know sugar is not my friend!!! lol...my goal is to increase green tea, buy milk thistle/burberine/zinc copper and reduce my snacking!!! OMG!!!
I've been low carb, no diary for awhile. I ate a bunch of oranges a few days ago and immediately had a minor breakout. Fructose can be just as bad as the other carbs / sugars we're supposed to avoid depending on your metabolism / physiology.
Go to your doc and ask for isotrenoin / roaccutane, it will clear your acne permanently.
@@veve4kids199not for everyone I have tried three times. I am 38 and sitll get cystic acne when I have my period. Dealing with this since I was 12 years old, took Accutane at 16 and still battling with it.
Great advice! Going to try this and report back. I am 35 and have had acne my whole life.
Finally useful recommendation thank you KZhead
Avoiding chocolate stopped my case of long-time acne. I went chocolate-free for an entire year, and my skin had no more acne, no more blemishes, and my skin glowed!
Yea I remember being a very confident teen till acne hit, I still tried to keep my confidence but it was really hard to do so since my face was so bright red with the dry inflammation acne causing what seems to be like sun burn but no…. Went through it all high school sadly but it got better when I fixed my diet and kept myself clean
Hello Sir, As I have acne since child hood. It was off for some time but started again . I am 28yo now and tried two to three different dermatologists they medicines work as long as I am using when I stop using acne come back. So now one doctor recommend me Roccatance and when I saw its side effects I am scared to take it... My question is I should try out your advice or go for Roccatance. That has worst side effects. Thanks and I'll wait for your reply.
Do ninacimide drops work on your face I read that it reduces facial readness so in theory it could work right?
yes, niacinamide would help your acne
This worked for me: after eliminating milk I saw a great improvement. Now, only if I have sugar for several days in a row I get a pimple. I have to thank a stranger who, at a shop, gave me this spontaneous advice. Thank you doctor for your work!
Thank you doctor! So far, every given information about skin care, body and mind function, nutrition and food and diets, muscle development and fat burning and also sleeping that i've used has been fully and entirely useful and effective. Also, i'm learning many things going through this stuff because of you giving us the keys to it all. Again, thank you so much Dr. Berg!❤
Really well said, as somebody who has suffered Acne through multiple stages, been on all the drugs and treatments and years of personal research this is the best summary I have come across. I wish when I was a teenager doctors had more understanding on the impact of diet, sugars, androgen receptors, not once ever was diet looked at back then, just which drug to try next with the same failures. Sure some like Accutane work for periods but at what cost. If you dont follow up with the right diet it will eventually come back. Milk/Diary/Diet and insulin are such key factors.
I eat all whole foods but also eat a lot of fruit. Would you recommend removing fruit and substituting with vitamin supplements and fiber so I eat less carbs/sugar?
Thank you so much Dr I needed this. Saw you in my recommended now I can't stop watching your videos. I suffer from bad acne and I will be trying this. Hope to come back with a positive response!
