    Increasing consumption of vitamin A, D, zinc, and vitamin E can help fight acne and lead to clearer skin.
    Wash your face in the morning and again in the evening.
    Apply no more than a pea-size amount of any acne product. Applying too much can dry out your skin and increase irritation.
    Wear sunscreen every day.
    Use only noncomedogenic products to reduce your risk of clogged pores.

  • I’d speak with a doctor or pharmacist. It can be very frustrating and difficult to treat but keep trying.
