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❤️
@@raddgreat01 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.
@@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.
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!
@@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 :)
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 😭❤
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.
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)
Shirlest's Hidden Acne Healing Secrets are a game changer! I struggled with breakouts for years, but now my skin feels amazing and my confidence is through the roof. This is a must-try for anyone looking to clear their skin.
I can feel my acne go away listening to him 🙏 Edit: Guys, my acne did NOT go away LMAO. Anyways I'm taking pills and it makes my face oily more than usual but my acne is getting better.
Its been only 3 days i am doing fasting as its Ramadan and stopped consuming sugar and believe me my all time acne problem is going away its like a miracle, Thank you so much Dr Eric
@@Akshayaraj-kk4zg you could fast a whole day, but you should start for a few hours after you wake up and progress from there, remember to drink water & stay hydrated too.
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
@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!!
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.
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.
@@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
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!
@@Drberg please doctor I can not understand ur language u send me in write in page I can translate in Urdu then I understand this please I have acne 5 years ago please please God help u
@@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.
Summary for how to get rid of acne according to video: 1. Stop eating sugar and carbs 2. Stop snacking 3. Fasting 4. Take Milk Thistle 5. Take berberine 6. Take Green Tea 7. Take Zinc 8. Take Vitamin A 9. Take copper Scarring tips: 10. Don’t pop and over clean skin 11. Avoid dairy 12. Rub vitamin E oil ( tbh don’t do this it’s comedogenic so it will clog your pores) 13. Dermatrophin? PMG
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
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.
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.
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.
@@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!
Of course noone talks about it because they don't know. .they haven't read your book. So if you have some information that could help millions of people...why arent you sharing it?
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!!!
@@iqrabhat645 i also have white puss acne around my chin area that is so stubborn but based on my experience I found some daily habits the is helping me a lot.
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!
From Cambodia 🇰🇭 here . I rarely post comment on RUclips. 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 🙏🏼🙏🏼
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
I wish I could show my before and after photos! I struggled with cystic acne, my face hurt soooo much. My dermatologist referred me to an endocrinologist, come to find out I had PCOS. Diet change completely changed my skin! I now have zero blemishes. All of this happened before the rise of RUclips, this information is crucial for anyone struggling with acne!
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.
@@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…
@@bigmuscles250lbs healthy grass fed and finished red meat is filled with zinc and vitamin A which is good for your skin/ health . I suffered through terrible acne and removing red meat made me face 10 times more terrible
I have never written a comment on RUclips 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!
I wish I had known this 30yrs ago, I had cystic acne, boils it was awful. Dermatologist popped everything and dry out with heat lamps, my face is covered in scars. Luckily I changed my diet years ago so my skin is definitely healthier. Thank you for this.
Same I had cystic acne before. It's hard to get rid of acne scars. :( I'm using rejuvenating set to get rid of dark spots and dead skins. Also I'm using dermaroller and serums. Any tips for skincare? Thanks.
@@Beadacut_ while my scars remain honestly all I take is a powdered collagen which makes a difference. I'm in my 50s my skin has a more youthful appearance.
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!
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.
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.
I had severe acne at age 17. I went on the Paleo diet and after a couple months my skin was completely clear. Not only did I no longer feel like hiding in the dark but random people would comment on my glowy skin and ask what I use.
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
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 💗
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. ❤️
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!!!
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.
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!

Thank you RUclips 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 😕
🌸 growing up my mom didn’t make puddings after each meal. Instead she served salads with meals and some fruit after the meal if we wanted it. There was both type 1 diabetes & type 2. So she restricted our diet when it came to excess carbs, starches & sugars As a result my brother & I didn’t have acne at all, I didn’t realise it was her diet she introduced us to, she served a lot of seafood and occasionally chicken & lean lamb, so we had healthy zinc levels. If we had milk in oatmeal it was pasteurised to kill of anything. I ate loads of butter, some hard cheese, fish and vegetables growing up And she never bought or served us fast food, I never had kfc, burgers, fries, milkshakes, I was so envious of other kids eating that stuff. My mom was medically trained & she was knowledgeable in what a good diet consisted of. I’m grateful for what she’s passed on to my brother & I I’m reminded about the teachings and learning a great deal more when I see Dr Berg’s videos, thank you for them 😊✨
Hey guys! ❤ I totally cured my terrible acne ever just doing 5 tips: 1) totally avoid all chemicals and go zero waste ! 2) doing my washing powder home made from organil soap 3) vegetarian (a lot pasta rice bread and feel great) 4) eat ghi every day 5) meditation every evening ;) love you❤
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.
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.
FINALLY. After so long I've finally found a video that shows WHAT acne is and is and what it's caused by. I'm so tired of hearing people say I should wash my face twice a day or use all these products on my face when it only made my acne worse. I'm so happy and thankful to stumble across this video. I will definitely first write everything I should avoid and tape it on the wall in my room so I can be reminded what I shouldn't do. I'm so happy, because now I really realize what is causing my acne. I personally snack a lot and eat a lot of high-carb foods so now I know I should stop eating it so often. Thank you, Dr. Berg!
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!
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!!!!!
I had terrible acne when I was a teen. It affected my self-image and made me shy around girls. I’d get mad and pop them. Mom took me to a dermatologist who rubbed dry ice on my face. The treatment didn’t help. This was back in the 1960’s. Mom was an old fashioned Southern cook. Lots of fried food, cakes and pies. Your video will no doubt help those with acne.
For all the guys in here talking about “killing your bulk”: 1) all you have to do is work out enough to make sure you’re getting the most from your eating, add pro and prebiotics and implement fasting to reset your insulin resistance levels. Instead of setting daily goals, make them weekly (i.e. 7 days’ worth of food in 6 days) and spend a full 24 hours on one of the weekends not eating anything, just resting and drinking water. Not only will this help burn off some of that fat and give you a spike in HGH like you wouldn’t believe, but it will also help heal your gut lining (and thus improve your acne TREMENDOUSLY and improve all-around nutrient absorption). 2) get laid. Seriously. I’m not saying girls don’t care about acne or muscles, but they care about it SO MUCH LESS THAN YOU THINK!!! In all the studies of attractiveness physical factors barely explained 10% of the variance with any statistical significance. What they care about is assertiveness and confidence (not narcissism, not assholery, not bravado). It will help your confidence, reduce stress and balance out your hormones (the miraculous test booster). 3) Make sure you have a good skincare routine, and by that I mean that you’re minimizing the amount of products you’re using and have a regimen for a breakout. These days I’m down to just getting a sweat in before the shower instead of all the cleansers and some spot gel for the odd pimple. 4) SLEEP!!! 8 HOURS!!! AND GO TO BED AROUND 10pm. It will help so many of your problems and your gains will skyrocket, basically the closest you can get to steroid-level growth increases without actually taking them. I am 22 and have had acne since I was 13. Trust me. Obviously your mileage may vary, but I would bet my left testicle you will start managing your acne and bulk insanely quickly if you implement all of these regularly. And the results will be there within a month. Just like a solid gym routine, once those results show up just keep at it and thank me later. Good luck, soldiers.
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.
I've had acne for 20+ years (I'm now 34). I started taking Berberine, Green Tea, Zinc and Copper after watching this video, and I'd say about 95% of my acne has cleared up. I have only had 1 pimple in about 3 months (which is unheard of for me). I suspect Berberine has made the biggest difference, because things really started clearing up when I started that one. So wild! Thank you Dr Berg.
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
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
Same . There’s no grace period for me either. Let’s be grateful our bodies show us instead of making us sick internally or we might ignore it. Thank you body for working so hard for my best 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@NotEwl you should increase the digestive enzymes like lactase for lactose intolerance take some digestive enzymes supplements I had so many types of acne every acne for different reasons acne due to hormones, Gut, Sunscreens etc now I do get pimples but only due to androgens, now I happily eat carbs and dairy products
I don’t understand why people most of the people that I know that has overweight and eats anything they want and has very poor nutrition (sodas, chocolates, fat food, etc) has the most beautiful face without acne. I don’t get it.
Starting at age 53, after suffering with acne since I was ELEVEN, I eliminated sugar and dairy. Stopped using Fabric Softner in my towels/ washcloths, and am mindful to keep my pets away from my face !!!
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!
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.
@@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
Hello Doctor, First I would like to thank you very much for this video. I am sure it helped and will help a lot of people. I would like to describe my story - I am 32 years old, and since when I was 18 I struggle with acne. From few of the "bests" and most expensives dermatologist I heard that there is nothing I can do more and this is genes. What I have tried so far: 1. Diet - glutenfree, removing dairy, low foodmap, low glycemic index/load, drinking green tea 2. Food only prepared by me - all cooked, no frying, no fast food 3. No Alcohol, no carbonated drinks 4. Using gels and creams anti-acne every morning and before sleep, face masks with coal once a week 5. Changing towels regularly every 2-3 days, washing bed linen every week 6. The use of zinc (I noticed that when I used 500% of human daily norm, the results were satysfying - its just 2 tabs, 1 had 250% norm) 7. Did hormones tests, did food allergies tests, did blood tests - everything in norm and the results? it is MUCH better, but still from time to time I have some zits on my face / body. I could not understand why. One of the doctor suggest (most of them did) to use anti-botics and yeah it helped me in past - but this is no proper way to eliminate the root cause. What will happened when I will finish antibotics? It's just a workaround. I never thought about eliminating sugar completely from my diet. I haven't eat that much, but it may be the case - I love tea with lemon, orange, strawberry, berries, lime and honey with raspberry sauce. I watched the movie twice, interestingly - it came up when I entered on youtube the effect of sugar on acne (I was already on the trail of sugar regarding acne) I will follow all the advice I have heard here and I will let you know what the situation looks like after some time. Thank you very much, Doctor
@@BeautyFashionM To be honest, I am still not 100% cured from time to time something appear but really, really rare. I noticed some things that are helping me the most. 1) Intermittent fasting - I eat only one time per day at 13 :00 / 1 PM, 2) do what mentioned before in my post, low glycaemic food, limited sugar, supplements - plenty of zinc, cooper + vitamin d+ berberin + milk thustle , 3) drinking 2x per day (at the morning just after waking up+ before sleep) - drink with juice ginger + juice lemon + chopped mint + curcumin + pepper The difference is huge, sometimes I get some redness on my face, but it's rare and I don't even know what to change or improve.
@@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.🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋
This video would have helped me tremendously 20 years ago when I was 14! Glad you are helping others who are going through what I wen through with this! Wealth of knowledge! 😊
Unbelievable!! I'm eating once a day and have been following Dr. Berg's eating guidelines for the last several months. Two days ago I met a friend for lunch; to celebrate his recent retirement we ordered Godiva chocolate cheesecake for dessert. Today I have a significant red bump on my face. And here I thought that at age 62 I was still hormonal. :)
100% agree with you my guy. Some of us are severely prone to insulin resistance and sadly mainstream downplay this fact(mainstream focus calorie in calorie out) but the truth go way back.
Informative video. I have been plagued with severe acne for 30+ years. I have used Accutane 3 times on a 2 pill dose for 6 months each time spread over a 10 year span. The severity was horrific and was less severe after each accutane session. Until a year ago I was still having acne issues until I changed my diet. This worked for me, but it may not work for everyone. #1 cut out all dairy #2 cut out all sugar #3 reduce stress. I did reduce carbs but I couldn’t pinpoint if it helped or not. It was really hard to change my habits of what I ate! Try to stay positive for anyone with acne. I know the mental pain you can experience from people thinking your “dirty”. Just remember it’s not your fault.
@@idilmohamed_ it wasn’t both at the same time. I started with dairy first and noticed a difference after 2 weeks. Time went on my skin was better but still had breakouts. I would guess around 6 months later I tried no sugar. Maybe about another 2-3 weeks I noticed a big difference. I thought it was even rice at one point, but I didn’t realize how much sugar they put in sushi rice. I also use a light face cleanser with HYALURONIC ACID ( cerave oil control ) everyday in the shower. I try to eat very basic foods. It’s boring sometimes but you need to choose what’s more important.
There's also a gut flora connection to Acne which no one talks about. I suddenly started suffering from severe acne starting age of 25, I went to several dermatologists who tried various creams and antibiotics but the acne over the next few years, the acne problem never went away so I eventually gave up on the treatments. 2 years back when I was 40, I got food poisoning and I eventually recovered from it without any medication. After a few days I realised that my long term acne problem had gone, the infection got rid of my acne. My guess is that the infection wiped out the gut bug that was causing my acne. It's been 2 years since my infection and I have never got a single acne since.
I wish I had this information when I had troubled skin. This would have helped so much 😪🤍 I hope parents can help their children by finding this video. Thank you once again Dr Berg.
Dude, don't be so naive. You don't even know if this work. Just because some guy on the internet says it will work doesn't mean it will. I tried all of that stuff beside the milk thistle for years now and i still have acne on my back, neck and face.
Just took my blood test this week for accutane. I'm 25 and have tried everything. I have scars, cystic, etc. It has "taken years of my life" in a sense. The confidence issue it creates is unreal. You feel "dirty", "gross", "unhealthy". It has prevented me from soo many social situations, it's just sad to look back on. I have spent $1000's on treatments and OTCs. I put off accutane for years but can't take this anymore. The sad part is, most of us would rather trade an outside condition, for an inside one. Thank you for your advice Doc. 🙏❤️
I don’t know what I did, or didn’t do, but I never had a zit. Actually I don’t remember my sister or our twin brothers having acne either. Maybe we led a pure life………oh yeah, cakes, biscuits, and all the other stuff we shouldn’t have been eating.
have you tried fasting and cutting out carbs and sugars like he said in the video? Fasting for several days would probably help you a lot as well! Sorry to hear you are going through that!
Proactive skin care products cleared my acne. I’m in my late 40s and have suffered with acne since I was 18. I’ve tried absolutely everything including not eating saturated fats or refined carbs. I was so strict with my diet but nothing helped. So Dr Bergs advice didn’t work for me. I got onto using products with the right combination of skin care ingredients and that’s what made the difference. It’s not just about eating healthy, it’s also about keeping your skin clear from excess sebum production and bacteria by washing your face daily.
Sorry to hear about the issues you have had, it can be super hard. But I think you might have misunderstood his dietary suggestion. He never said anything about not eating saturated fat. In fact he said to keep you blood sugar from spiking, so removing all carbs and eating some saturated fat is closer to what he was saying.
@@BroodjeDel proactiv….it’s a skin care product set that includes cleanser, toner and repairing lotion. It uses benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid and salicylic acid as the main ingredients. Designed by a dermatologist.
@@thebeholder5055 I understood what he was saying. I’ve done that…avoid refined carbs that spike your insulin and small amounts of saturated fats. (I ate meat) It didn’t solve the problem for me. It certainly helped but proactv cleared my skin completely…..not a zit to be seen. Just a question….if you remove ALL carbs you are going keto, right? Not everyone, including dieticians and nutritionists agree with this diet. Some go so far as to say it’s dangerous for your body. So if you want clear skin but don’t want to cut out most vegetables then try this skincare product that worked magically for me.
Dont pop them. Cover them with bandaids if you have to. This video and my actions cured my acne. Drink a gallon or at least 3L of water/day. Absolutely no sugar, carbs or dairy. Your skin will be clear in 2-3 weeks if you do this
Use a clean needle tip so it can easily ooze out. Try not to squeeze too hard because it may cause scarring. Once you poke it, apply a little pressure to push it out. Hope that helps
Wanted to come on and say, that as a teenager, i had actually figured some of this out on my own without researching it. I noticed that when I washed my face, acne got worse. So washed it less often. I also noticed that when I ate foods and candy that made my face oily, my acne also got worse.
@@ARolls-dd2zd ah, i didn't know there were different types. Just that, when I ate something like a bag of skittles, my face would feel really oily. after trying a few things out, i figured out that i get less acne when my face isn't as oily. Since washing made it worse, i decided to eat less candy. also, to address the face washing issue, in the shows I let water run down my face but I didn't really go at it. when i'm not in the shower, i made a deliberate effort not to touch my face for any reason, even when to wash it. glad to have a video confirming my findings.
It will take time to get rid of acne. I've had acne breakouts since I was 19 and I'm 43 now and still getting acne now and then... Cutting out sugar definitely helps, exercising and eating better. All the best to you all and be patient...
I don't est sugar, stopped bread and milk, eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, sleep well, exercise and still have acne at 47. My parents never had acne or my brother and their diet isn't really good. The only things that worked are hormone medication and anti biotics.
Thank you Dr berg. I relate. It took me a long time to learn the correct solution on my own. This is very helpful. Most people are given bad information.
@@samanthagavaudan9472 yes I am exactly the same at 52 yrs of age. Green tea helped with the hormonal acne of youth but not so much now. I was eating very healthily. However healthy foods often contain lectins which can aggravate the gut and cause skin disorders. I also find sulphur rich foods cause a flare up so I avoid eggs, garlic and broccoli etc.
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!
Even when I use to have really bad acne, having a simple skin care routine did more than having a plethora of cleaning products. Having a simple but proper cleanser for your skin type, active ingredient if needed, and moisturizer is all you need to maintain great skin along with a healthy lifestyle and diet
@@carlie215 I use CeraVe foaming cleanser, if you have more dry and sensitive skin, the moisturizing formula they have is good too. And I use Cetaphil face and body lotion, it has Vitamin E and B5 in it to help lock in moisture. I also use a mineral sunscreen that has zinc oxide which I find helps keep my skin protected and prevent breakouts as well. That one is from Paulas Choice. Hope you can find what’s right for you :)
started loving this man after just 2 videos because all the doctors gives medicine and antibiotics as a prescription but he is giving some natural methods as prescription its great
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.
I found that what Dr Berg said regards over washing acne with soap is true, as more as you over wash the affected areas as more as it will get worse, I have a better skin now thanks to Dr Berg's advices as well on using cod liver oil.
I just use curd and apple cider vinegar because I want to grow good bacteria and soap kills good bacteria. I had dandruff but probiotics helped so much that i don't have dandruff now.
It wasn't off the back of the video, but I can confirm a lot of this has worked wonders for my acne. No dairy and no processed sugar have made cysts a rarity.
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!
I don't pop them, I barely touch my face but the pimples are so sensitive so when I fash my face or roll in bed they can break automatically. It's really annoying
Don't touch the pimples. Let it explode by itself n wipe clean with tissues or cotton swab. Never touch it with your hands or nails especially. The scars will be gone by itself. Watch your food, cleanse face with good mild n organic cleanser 2x daily. Leave it n enjoy your life. I was once a pimpled girl a long time ago. Then i got fed up.. just do daily cleansing n watch my food n don't spend time infront of the mirror. After sometime, i was astonished to see my clear face. Then only i start to add other face regime.
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!
Sad almost Nobody mention or recognize the complex genius most precise work of the creator who created all this enzymes and proteins and made all those relations between them sothat they can function properly.
I'M doing intermittent fasting and I wanna get a clear skin.I'm gonna reduce carbs and sugary foods from now on. Thank you for the videos..It means a lot.I also decided to do intermittent fasting after watching your videos..I started doing intermittent from last Sunday..I hope all that will help me to get rid of my acne.Thank you so much Dr.Berg
Thanks Dr. Berg for the video. In the past couple of months I’ve been struggling with acne on my chin, thought it was caused by wearing face masks for hours at work, but read-up its most likely caused by hormonal imbalance, so decided to do fasting again, 16/8 sometimes 20/4 fast, I kid you not the acne is gone 👏🏼👏🏼
Fasting got all the toxins out of your body that you had been accumulating from all the animal fat you had been consuming. The toxins were trying to get out through your skin, but you sped up the cleansing process with the fasting. Large animals are loaded with animal fat and hence toxins. Toxins are stored in animal fat.
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.
I still had acne when I was was 33! So I decided to stop picking my skin, and Not eating gluten and or dairy, specially cheese. I am 36 and my skin look pretty good. Drink plenty of water to flush everything out! Clean your gut!
I cleared my acne by: - Using a medicated soap - Wash my face 3x a day - Gently scrubbing - Cleaning my phone, pillowcase, and towels - Removing the cleanser from my skin care routine (caused more acne) - Balanced diet (No sugar, no oil, and most important of all, regular intake of multivitamins)
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 🌟🙏🏻🌟
I am 41 and I've terrible acne. It started in 2020 and I've tried many things without getting any results. I will follow your advice and see what happens. Thanks for sharing great value always.
Much respect Dr. Berg. But I am compelled to contribute as an "acne survivor"(lol). I remember eating A lot of processed carbs as a teenager. I did not have a spot of acne, my skin was smooth as silk. I started having severe acne in my early twenties. The only thing you mention that made any kind of difference for me was avoiding dairy, nothing else worked. I managed the condition for over a decade until I really went deep into studying my diet. What eventually made THE difference was when I learned about mucus and pus forming food. Transitioning to a more wfpb lifestyle in my thirties, using organic skincare products and increasing my intake of the mucus-less foods has got everyone asking me what miracle I performed on my skin. I had a lot of scarring and hyperpigmentation and glycolic acid peels helped with that a few years ago. My current skincare regimen is more of a maintenance rather than a treatment regimen. Hope this helps someone out there because I know that the pain of living with acne is more than skin deep.
I also have dealt w acne forever, severely scarring and thankfully it’s gotten better w avoiding dairy and red meat, however I’m not consistently clear enough to tackle scarring w microneedling, etc. I have awful allergies and mucus production is in overdrive, will definitely look into this. May I ask, what percentage glycolic acid peels did you do to help w scarring?
@@mzjackofalltrades21 Oh dear, so sorry. I think you would benefit from Prof. Spira's work on the mucusless diet to help with the allergies and excess mucus. When the body is burdened with toxins, it tries every way possible to clear out the toxins so it can function without obstruction. This elimination usually manifests as dis-ease and the skin is a secondary elimination organ when other pathways are compromised. I believe that cleaning out your body would help to reduce the breakouts then you can focus on the scarring. that was my approach. Now the peel, it's been such a long time, i don't quite remember but I would say it was 10% glycolic acid. You want to get this done by a professional, especially if you have melanated skin , to avoid post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Take care
@@denicejackson4839 Fruits and non-starchy vegetables particularly greens. I am still on a transition diet though, so I am still eating stuff like steamed potatoes and steamed carrots, beans etc. You can check out Prof Spira's work/website for a detailed list of mucus-less foods.

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 ?
@@raddgreat01 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 :)

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 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?
I have hormonal acne and I must say this is the MOST informative video I have found on the Internet throughout all these years!
Did it help???
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!

Of course noone talks about it because they don't know. .they haven't read your book. So if you have some information that could help millions of people...why arent you sharing it?
What book? @@MarcoNi-n6y

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😭😭😭
@@shalusaini4254 same.... I have pus acne on my chin area...and large acne on forehead..😭
@@iqrabhat645 i also have white puss acne around my chin area that is so stubborn but based on my experience I found some daily habits the is helping me a lot.
thats great, i rarely drink milk and don't eat much bad food but acne still increasingly gets worse
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
From Cambodia 🇰🇭 here . I rarely post comment on RUclips. 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 🙏🏼🙏🏼
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:)

Plz tell me what exactly do to eliminate acne
I wish I had known this 30yrs ago, I had cystic acne, boils it was awful. Dermatologist popped everything and dry out with heat lamps, my face is covered in scars. Luckily I changed my diet years ago so my skin is definitely healthier. Thank you for this.
The scars are hard to get rid of. Even the laser treatments won’t do much.
Same I had cystic acne before. It's hard to get rid of acne scars. :( I'm using rejuvenating set to get rid of dark spots and dead skins. Also I'm using dermaroller and serums. Any tips for skincare? Thanks.
@@Beadacut_ while my scars remain honestly all I take is a powdered collagen which makes a difference. I'm in my 50s my skin has a more youthful appearance.
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!
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
I had severe acne at age 17. I went on the Paleo diet and after a couple months my skin was completely clear. Not only did I no longer feel like hiding in the dark but random people would comment on my glowy skin and ask what I use.

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
💯
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 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.

Thank you RUclips 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 😕
🌸 growing up my mom didn’t make puddings after each meal. Instead she served salads with meals and some fruit after the meal if we wanted it. There was both type 1 diabetes & type 2. So she restricted our diet when it came to excess carbs, starches & sugars
As a result my brother & I didn’t have acne at all, I didn’t realise it was her diet she introduced us to, she served a lot of seafood and occasionally chicken & lean lamb, so we had healthy zinc levels. If we had milk in oatmeal it was pasteurised to kill of anything. I ate loads of butter, some hard cheese, fish and vegetables growing up
And she never bought or served us fast food, I never had kfc, burgers, fries, milkshakes, I was so envious of other kids eating that stuff. My mom was medically trained & she was knowledgeable in what a good diet consisted of. I’m grateful for what she’s passed on to my brother & I
I’m reminded about the teachings and learning a great deal more when I see Dr Berg’s videos, thank you for them 😊✨

I totally cured my terrible acne ever just doing 5 tips:
1) totally avoid all chemicals and go zero waste !
2) doing my washing powder home made from organil soap
3) vegetarian (a lot pasta rice bread and feel great)
4) eat ghi every day
5) meditation every evening ;)
love you❤
No one explains the way Dr.Berg does..God bless you Dr.Berg!
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
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
FINALLY. After so long I've finally found a video that shows WHAT acne is and is and what it's caused by. I'm so tired of hearing people say I should wash my face twice a day or use all these products on my face when it only made my acne worse. I'm so happy and thankful to stumble across this video. I will definitely first write everything I should avoid and tape it on the wall in my room so I can be reminded what I shouldn't do. I'm so happy, because now I really realize what is causing my acne. I personally snack a lot and eat a lot of high-carb foods so now I know I should stop eating it so often.
Thank you, Dr. Berg!
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!
But you can have unsweetened cocoa
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!!!!!
I had terrible acne when I was a teen. It affected my self-image and made me shy around girls. I’d get mad and pop them. Mom took me to a dermatologist who rubbed dry ice on my face. The treatment didn’t help. This was back in the 1960’s.
Mom was an old fashioned Southern cook. Lots of fried food, cakes and pies. Your video will no doubt help those with acne.
His videos are the reason my acne left forever. If it wasn’t for dr berg I would’ve never had clear skin
For all the guys in here talking about “killing your bulk”: 1) all you have to do is work out enough to make sure you’re getting the most from your eating, add pro and prebiotics and implement fasting to reset your insulin resistance levels. Instead of setting daily goals, make them weekly (i.e. 7 days’ worth of food in 6 days) and spend a full 24 hours on one of the weekends not eating anything, just resting and drinking water. Not only will this help burn off some of that fat and give you a spike in HGH like you wouldn’t believe, but it will also help heal your gut lining (and thus improve your acne TREMENDOUSLY and improve all-around nutrient absorption). 2) get laid. Seriously. I’m not saying girls don’t care about acne or muscles, but they care about it SO MUCH LESS THAN YOU THINK!!! In all the studies of attractiveness physical factors barely explained 10% of the variance with any statistical significance. What they care about is assertiveness and confidence (not narcissism, not assholery, not bravado). It will help your confidence, reduce stress and balance out your hormones (the miraculous test booster). 3) Make sure you have a good skincare routine, and by that I mean that you’re minimizing the amount of products you’re using and have a regimen for a breakout. These days I’m down to just getting a sweat in before the shower instead of all the cleansers and some spot gel for the odd pimple. 4) SLEEP!!! 8 HOURS!!! AND GO TO BED AROUND 10pm. It will help so many of your problems and your gains will skyrocket, basically the closest you can get to steroid-level growth increases without actually taking them. I am 22 and have had acne since I was 13. Trust me. Obviously your mileage may vary, but I would bet my left testicle you will start managing your acne and bulk insanely quickly if you implement all of these regularly. And the results will be there within a month. Just like a solid gym routine, once those results show up just keep at it and thank me later. Good luck, soldiers.
Acne is one of the toughest problems to treat. Useful video indeed!
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

I've had acne for 20+ years (I'm now 34). I started taking Berberine, Green Tea, Zinc and Copper after watching this video, and I'd say about 95% of my acne has cleared up. I have only had 1 pimple in about 3 months (which is unheard of for me). I suspect Berberine has made the biggest difference, because things really started clearing up when I started that one. So wild! Thank you Dr Berg.

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
I literally never had any acne but I still want to hear the explanation especially from Doctor Berg. 🤗🤗
I pray God That You Never get Acne 😀❤️🥺
Literally?
lucky you
My Mom is the same way but what she struggles with is her sun spots/melasma.
A doctor that gives natural remedies as well👀👀 You are a blessing🙏🏽
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 had so many types of acne every acne for different reasons acne due to hormones, Gut, Sunscreens etc now I do get pimples but only due to androgens, now I happily eat carbs and dairy products
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?
I don’t understand why people most of the people that I know that has overweight and eats anything they want and has very poor nutrition (sodas, chocolates, fat food, etc) has the most beautiful face without acne. I don’t get it.
Starting at age 53, after suffering with acne since I was ELEVEN, I eliminated sugar and dairy. Stopped using Fabric Softner in my towels/ washcloths, and am mindful to keep my pets away from my face !!!
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!
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.
I have acne in my 30s never as a teen, now on a long course of antibiotics, here for tips!
Don’t take antibiotics! It damages the gut which can cause acne. Work on healing the gut. Try probiotics and black seed oil!
8:00 how to get rid of acne
Hello Doctor,
First I would like to thank you very much for this video. I am sure it helped and will help a lot of people.
I would like to describe my story - I am 32 years old, and since when I was 18 I struggle with acne. From few of the "bests" and most expensives dermatologist I heard that there is nothing I can do more and this is genes.
What I have tried so far:
1. Diet - glutenfree, removing dairy, low foodmap, low glycemic index/load, drinking green tea
2. Food only prepared by me - all cooked, no frying, no fast food
3. No Alcohol, no carbonated drinks
4. Using gels and creams anti-acne every morning and before sleep, face masks with coal once a week
5. Changing towels regularly every 2-3 days, washing bed linen every week
6. The use of zinc (I noticed that when I used 500% of human daily norm, the results were satysfying - its just 2 tabs, 1 had 250% norm)
7. Did hormones tests, did food allergies tests, did blood tests - everything in norm
and the results? it is MUCH better, but still from time to time I have some zits on my face / body. I could not understand why. One of the doctor suggest (most of them did) to use anti-botics and yeah it helped me in past - but this is no proper way to eliminate the root cause. What will happened when I will finish antibotics? It's just a workaround.
I never thought about eliminating sugar completely from my diet. I haven't eat that much, but it may be the case - I love tea with lemon, orange, strawberry, berries, lime and honey with raspberry sauce.
I watched the movie twice, interestingly - it came up when I entered on youtube the effect of sugar on acne (I was already on the trail of sugar regarding acne)
I will follow all the advice I have heard here and I will let you know what the situation looks like after some time.
Thank you very much, Doctor
Y como te fué?
@@BeautyFashionM To be honest, I am still not 100% cured from time to time something appear but really, really rare.
I noticed some things that are helping me the most.
1) Intermittent fasting - I eat only one time per day at 13 :00 / 1 PM,
2) do what mentioned before in my post, low glycaemic food, limited sugar, supplements - plenty of zinc, cooper + vitamin d+ berberin + milk thustle ,
3) drinking 2x per day (at the morning just after waking up+ before sleep) - drink with juice ginger + juice lemon + chopped mint + curcumin + pepper
The difference is huge, sometimes I get some redness on my face, but it's rare and I don't even know what to change or improve.
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.

Unbelievable!! I'm eating once a day and have been following Dr. Berg's eating guidelines for the last several months. Two days ago I met a friend for lunch; to celebrate his recent retirement we ordered Godiva chocolate cheesecake for dessert. Today I have a significant red bump on my face. And here I thought that at age 62 I was still hormonal. :)
100% agree with you my guy. Some of us are severely prone to insulin resistance and sadly mainstream downplay this fact(mainstream focus calorie in calorie out) but the truth go way back.
I love how Dr. Berg clearly explains everything in a relaxing way that you'll be so much interested on the related concern topic.
this guy should replace all those useless make up tutorials, this is gold. Thank you sir. You helped my teenage hood.
Did it work?
@@Ty-vj4wg Yeah, it did actually, I stopped getting horrible breakouts now I barely get acne.
Informative video. I have been plagued with severe acne for 30+ years. I have used Accutane 3 times on a 2 pill dose for 6 months each time spread over a 10 year span. The severity was horrific and was less severe after each accutane session. Until a year ago I was still having acne issues until I changed my diet. This worked for me, but it may not work for everyone. #1 cut out all dairy #2 cut out all sugar #3 reduce stress. I did reduce carbs but I couldn’t pinpoint if it helped or not. It was really hard to change my habits of what I ate! Try to stay positive for anyone with acne. I know the mental pain you can experience from people thinking your “dirty”. Just remember it’s not your fault.
How long did it take until you started to see results after cutting out dairy and sugar?
@@idilmohamed_ it wasn’t both at the same time. I started with dairy first and noticed a difference after 2 weeks. Time went on my skin was better but still had breakouts. I would guess around 6 months later I tried no sugar. Maybe about another 2-3 weeks I noticed a big difference. I thought it was even rice at one point, but I didn’t realize how much sugar they put in sushi rice. I also use a light face cleanser with HYALURONIC ACID ( cerave oil control ) everyday in the shower. I try to eat very basic foods. It’s boring sometimes but you need to choose what’s more important.
@@bcuzican3581 does rice cause acne ?
@@leyanakka3779 No. I thought it was the rice. It was the sugar added into the rice when it's used for sushi.
There's also a gut flora connection to Acne which no one talks about.
I suddenly started suffering from severe acne starting age of 25, I went to several dermatologists who tried various creams and antibiotics but the acne over the next few years, the acne problem never went away so I eventually gave up on the treatments.
2 years back when I was 40, I got food poisoning and I eventually recovered from it without any medication.
After a few days I realised that my long term acne problem had gone, the infection got rid of my acne. My guess is that the infection wiped out the gut bug that was causing my acne.
It's been 2 years since my infection and I have never got a single acne since.
Wow. Im 31 and suffer from acne and have been ever since puberty. Thank you so much
I wish I had this information when I had troubled skin. This would have helped so much 😪🤍 I hope parents can help their children by finding this video. Thank you once again Dr Berg.
Dude, don't be so naive. You don't even know if this work. Just because some guy on the internet says it will work doesn't mean it will. I tried all of that stuff beside the milk thistle for years now and i still have acne on my back, neck and face.
@@IxamusMC how long did you interment fast for? And what kind of foods did you eat?
@@IxamusMC Stress causes acne as well. You might have been doing Keto + IF but if you have stress acne will still come
@@IxamusMC bro there are multiple causes of acne,not everything works for everyone
Just took my blood test this week for accutane. I'm 25 and have tried everything. I have scars, cystic, etc. It has "taken years of my life" in a sense. The confidence issue it creates is unreal. You feel "dirty", "gross", "unhealthy". It has prevented me from soo many social situations, it's just sad to look back on. I have spent $1000's on treatments and OTCs. I put off accutane for years but can't take this anymore. The sad part is, most of us would rather trade an outside condition, for an inside one. Thank you for your advice Doc. 🙏❤️
Wishing you good luck, I relate to what your saying alot! I hope yours get better soon!
I don’t know what I did, or didn’t do, but I never had a zit. Actually I don’t remember my sister or our twin brothers having acne either. Maybe we led a pure life………oh yeah, cakes, biscuits, and all the other stuff we shouldn’t have been eating.
You will get better… hanging there and be a little bit patient and gentle with yourself.
have you tried fasting and cutting out carbs and sugars like he said in the video? Fasting for several days would probably help you a lot as well! Sorry to hear you are going through that!
Us bro us😢
Proactive skin care products cleared my acne. I’m in my late 40s and have suffered with acne since I was 18. I’ve tried absolutely everything including not eating saturated fats or refined carbs. I was so strict with my diet but nothing helped. So Dr Bergs advice didn’t work for me. I got onto using products with the right combination of skin care ingredients and that’s what made the difference. It’s not just about eating healthy, it’s also about keeping your skin clear from excess sebum production and bacteria by washing your face daily.
Sorry to hear about the issues you have had, it can be super hard. But I think you might have misunderstood his dietary suggestion. He never said anything about not eating saturated fat. In fact he said to keep you blood sugar from spiking, so removing all carbs and eating some saturated fat is closer to what he was saying.
What is this product called👀
@@BroodjeDel proactiv….it’s a skin care product set that includes cleanser, toner and repairing lotion. It uses benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid and salicylic acid as the main ingredients. Designed by a dermatologist.
@@thebeholder5055 I understood what he was saying. I’ve done that…avoid refined carbs that spike your insulin and small amounts of saturated fats. (I ate meat) It didn’t solve the problem for me. It certainly helped but proactv cleared my skin completely…..not a zit to be seen. Just a question….if you remove ALL carbs you are going keto, right? Not everyone, including dieticians and nutritionists agree with this diet. Some go so far as to say it’s dangerous for your body. So if you want clear skin but don’t want to cut out most vegetables then try this skincare product that worked magically for me.
@@Mel130673He didn’t just say Keto, he talks more about healthy keto. The quality (especially meats) of your foods are huge.
every single video tells me to stop popping the pimples. But when I don’t pop them they grow and start hurting
Dont pop them. Cover them with bandaids if you have to. This video and my actions cured my acne. Drink a gallon or at least 3L of water/day. Absolutely no sugar, carbs or dairy. Your skin will be clear in 2-3 weeks if you do this
then you are doing something wrong,a few will puff up and hurt but should naturally ouze out.
@@abelfazekas2772 I mean when I don‘t touch them
Use a clean needle tip so it can easily ooze out. Try not to squeeze too hard because it may cause scarring. Once you poke it, apply a little pressure to push it out. Hope that helps
Use clindamicin/ benzoyl with the concult of dermatologist
Wanted to come on and say, that as a teenager, i had actually figured some of this out on my own without researching it. I noticed that when I washed my face, acne got worse. So washed it less often. I also noticed that when I ate foods and candy that made my face oily, my acne also got worse.
Same, washing my face makes it worse. My acne seems to be more fungal based, no one talks about fungal acne that feeds on oily skin.
@@ARolls-dd2zd ah, i didn't know there were different types. Just that, when I ate something like a bag of skittles, my face would feel really oily.
after trying a few things out, i figured out that i get less acne when my face isn't as oily. Since washing made it worse, i decided to eat less candy.
also, to address the face washing issue, in the shows I let water run down my face but I didn't really go at it. when i'm not in the shower, i made a deliberate effort not to touch my face for any reason, even when to wash it. glad to have a video confirming my findings.
Same here
It seems that i would consider you as the most helpful Doctor, vlogger, or even youtuber talking about acne that i've watched so far. Thanks alot!!!❤️
It will take time to get rid of acne. I've had acne breakouts since I was 19 and I'm 43 now and still getting acne now and then... Cutting out sugar definitely helps, exercising and eating better. All the best to you all and be patient...
I have acne always I eat too much foods with sugar.
same here,i stop chocolate,and cut sugar.
I don't est sugar, stopped bread and milk, eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, sleep well, exercise and still have acne at 47. My parents never had acne or my brother and their diet isn't really good. The only things that worked are hormone medication and anti biotics.
Thank you Dr berg. I relate. It took me a long time to learn the correct solution on my own. This is very helpful. Most people are given bad information.
@@samanthagavaudan9472 yes I am exactly the same at 52 yrs of age. Green tea helped with the hormonal acne of youth but not so much now. I was eating very healthily. However healthy foods often contain lectins which can aggravate the gut and cause skin disorders. I also find sulphur rich foods cause a flare up so I avoid eggs, garlic and broccoli etc.
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!
Even when I use to have really bad acne, having a simple skin care routine did more than having a plethora of cleaning products. Having a simple but proper cleanser for your skin type, active ingredient if needed, and moisturizer is all you need to maintain great skin along with a healthy lifestyle and diet
Can you suggest the effective cleanser and moisturizer you used?
@@carlie215 I use CeraVe foaming cleanser, if you have more dry and sensitive skin, the moisturizing formula they have is good too. And I use Cetaphil face and body lotion, it has Vitamin E and B5 in it to help lock in moisture. I also use a mineral sunscreen that has zinc oxide which I find helps keep my skin protected and prevent breakouts as well. That one is from Paulas Choice. Hope you can find what’s right for you :)
started loving this man after just 2 videos because all the doctors gives medicine and antibiotics as a prescription but he is giving some natural methods as prescription its great
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.
Thank you, I will come back when my skin is recovered, and thank you a million times more.
Most welcome!
We need More Doctors like Dr. Eric Berg. He gives use free health information and awareness , he truly is a Gem, ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Very appreciated
Very glad to be of help.
I couldn't agree more!
💞💞
@@Drberg i have a bad habit of going to bed late🌙could it be the cause of ance?? thank you in advance🙏🏻❤️
@@Drberg Dr what are your thoughts on HS skin disease?
I found that what Dr Berg said regards over washing acne with soap is true, as more as you over wash the affected areas as more as it will get worse, I have a better skin now thanks to Dr Berg's advices as well on using cod liver oil.
I just use curd and apple cider vinegar because I want to grow good bacteria and soap kills good bacteria. I had dandruff but probiotics helped so much that i don't have dandruff now.
True. I wash with plain water and face oil.
Old folks didn't have complicated regimen but they didn't have acne.
@@anantapadmanabhmyatagiri what kind of probiotics? Sauerkraut? Kefir?
@@anantapadmanabhmyatagiri how did you get rid of dandruff
Do you eat the cod liver oil or put it on your face?
I needed this so bad😀
My acne never stops, thanks
Did this help u??
Still on the journey! If am consistent i would be far but sugars are part of my daily meals🥵
@@SherinahAwori did ur acen improved?
It wasn't off the back of the video, but I can confirm a lot of this has worked wonders for my acne. No dairy and no processed sugar have made cysts a rarity.
Thanks for sharing your experience here.
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!
YES that’s what ive been saying,popping your pimples and zits don’t do anything but create more,just do what this guy says
ugh damn it
I don't pop them, I barely touch my face but the pimples are so sensitive so when I fash my face or roll in bed they can break automatically. It's really annoying
@@Electivedrop true
Don't touch the pimples. Let it explode by itself n wipe clean with tissues or cotton swab. Never touch it with your hands or nails especially. The scars will be gone by itself. Watch your food, cleanse face with good mild n organic cleanser 2x daily. Leave it n enjoy your life. I was once a pimpled girl a long time ago. Then i got fed up.. just do daily cleansing n watch my food n don't spend time infront of the mirror. After sometime, i was astonished to see my clear face. Then only i start to add other face regime.
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!
Sad almost Nobody mention or recognize the complex genius most precise work of the creator who created all this enzymes and proteins and made all those relations between them sothat they can function properly.
I'M doing intermittent fasting and I wanna get a clear skin.I'm gonna reduce carbs and sugary foods from now on. Thank you for the videos..It means a lot.I also decided to do intermittent fasting after watching your videos..I started doing intermittent from last Sunday..I hope all that will help me to get rid of my acne.Thank you so much Dr.Berg
How’s it going?
Thanks Dr. Berg for the video.
In the past couple of months I’ve been struggling with acne on my chin, thought it was caused by wearing face masks for hours at work, but read-up its most likely caused by hormonal imbalance, so decided to do fasting again, 16/8 sometimes 20/4 fast, I kid you not the acne is gone 👏🏼👏🏼
What do you mean by 16/8 20/4
@@ryananderson260 16 hours fasting with 8 hours eating or 20 hours fasting for 4 hours eating
@@ryananderson260 I fast for 16 hours and then feast for 8 hours in a day, or I fast for 20 hours then feast for 4 hours.
Fasting got all the toxins out of your body that you had been accumulating from all the animal fat you had been consuming. The toxins were trying to get out through your skin, but you sped up the cleansing process with the fasting. Large animals are loaded with animal fat and hence toxins. Toxins are stored in animal fat.
@@TheStewieGriffinShow Thanks 🙏🏼, fasting really does repair the body.
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.
I still had acne when I was was 33! So I decided to stop picking my skin, and Not eating gluten and or dairy, specially cheese. I am 36 and my skin look pretty good. Drink plenty of water to flush everything out! Clean your gut!
I cleared my acne by:
- Using a medicated soap
- Wash my face 3x a day
- Gently scrubbing
- Cleaning my phone, pillowcase, and towels
- Removing the cleanser from my skin care routine (caused more acne)
- Balanced diet (No sugar, no oil, and most important of all, regular intake of multivitamins)
Need cleanser or not?
@@vishwajitaghav2744 I removed it cuz it caused more acne
What do you use to wash your skin? Just water?
@@lisahannah3175 Water with medicated soap
@@vybez08 medicated soap?
I had acne all my life. I still have it. But in mild form. The only solution was Roaccutane. Took it when I was 32, now I'm 44.
Acne is horrible, I was bullied about this still hurts 😔
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 🌟🙏🏻🌟

I am 41 and I've terrible acne.
It started in 2020 and I've tried many things without getting any results.
I will follow your advice and see what happens.
Thanks for sharing great value always.
There was obviously a major change in your life two years ago. Try to figure out what it was and do your best to change it. Good luck
Make sure to come back and let us know if it helped
its been 3 weeks since your comment. Did it work ?
I would like an update, did your skin improve ?
stop being lazy give an update
Much respect Dr. Berg. But I am compelled to contribute as an "acne survivor"(lol). I remember eating A lot of processed carbs as a teenager. I did not have a spot of acne, my skin was smooth as silk. I started having severe acne in my early twenties. The only thing you mention that made any kind of difference for me was avoiding dairy, nothing else worked. I managed the condition for over a decade until I really went deep into studying my diet. What eventually made THE difference was when I learned about mucus and pus forming food. Transitioning to a more wfpb lifestyle in my thirties, using organic skincare products and increasing my intake of the mucus-less foods has got everyone asking me what miracle I performed on my skin. I had a lot of scarring and hyperpigmentation and glycolic acid peels helped with that a few years ago. My current skincare regimen is more of a maintenance rather than a treatment regimen. Hope this helps someone out there because I know that the pain of living with acne is more than skin deep.
I also have dealt w acne forever, severely scarring and thankfully it’s gotten better w avoiding dairy and red meat, however I’m not consistently clear enough to tackle scarring w microneedling, etc. I have awful allergies and mucus production is in overdrive, will definitely look into this.
May I ask, what percentage glycolic acid peels did you do to help w scarring?
Geneva, what are your top mucus-less foods?
What’s your diet?
@@mzjackofalltrades21 Oh dear, so sorry. I think you would benefit from Prof. Spira's work on the mucusless diet to help with the allergies and excess mucus. When the body is burdened with toxins, it tries every way possible to clear out the toxins so it can function without obstruction. This elimination usually manifests as dis-ease and the skin is a secondary elimination organ when other pathways are compromised.
I believe that cleaning out your body would help to reduce the breakouts then you can focus on the scarring. that was my approach.
Now the peel, it's been such a long time, i don't quite remember but I would say it was 10% glycolic acid. You want to get this done by a professional, especially if you have melanated skin , to avoid post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Take care
@@denicejackson4839 Fruits and non-starchy vegetables particularly greens. I am still on a transition diet though, so I am still eating stuff like steamed potatoes and steamed carrots, beans etc. You can check out Prof Spira's work/website for a detailed list of mucus-less foods.
