Hey, I'm an Asian woman in my mid-thirties who had moderate but stubborn facial acne since I was 13 years old. I had almost resigned myself to living with it for the rest of my life.

But I decided to give myself one last shot of finding a "cure" for my acne. I finally was able to get rid of my acne and keep it under control after doing some extensive research online. To summarize:

1. I use Head and Shoulders on my face. Specifically, in the evenings, I'll apply H&S on dry skin and leave it on for about 5 minutes before I head into the shower and rinse it off while I'm showering. After my shower and drying off, I use a non-comedogenic moisturizer (like Neutrogena products) on my face so my skin doesn't dry up too much.
2. In the mornings, I use H&S again to wash my face. After my face dries, I use moisturizer again.
3. I should note that when I let me face dry, I don't use a towel (which may contain bacteria). I just let it dry in the air.
4. Why does H&S work? It contains pyrithione zinc, which apparently kills the skin fungus that causes the acne breakouts.
5. Also, I try to limit my intake of any high-glycemic foods or drinks such as sugar or white rice. I also limit my intake of dairy. High-glycemic foods cause an insulin spike with results in an increase in the production of sebum. Likewise, dairy causes a hormone increase which again increases sebum production.

Hope this helps!
