I had cystic Acne as well as black heads and little white bumps for two years. I tried everything topical, as well as diet changes. I had no success. I finally went to a dermatologist and hw put me on tetracyclin, an antibiotic. I took it for about a month and all of my cystic Acne went away- I have even been eating poorly and my skin is still radient. I have, however avoided gluten. The combonation of a gluten-free diet, the tetracyclin and a product called " Acne FREE" have helped my skin so much. The topical product, acne free, has really made my skin smooth and it has the youthful glow I had in high school. It is like a generic pro-active and it's a three-step skin-care system that you do twice a day. You can get it at target or longs drugs. It really helps heal existing acne and redness, acne marks, etc.

Hope this works for you- helps?
