I must admit I'm very dis-heartened whenever I visit the Acne forum because here we are on an alternative health site, and everyone is talking drugs. I know from experience that cleansing works. The reason for the Acne in the first place is toxic overload and adding more toxins to the mix will never solve the problem, but can cause the problem to later manifest (as it always will) as something deeper, as the body struggles to maintain balance.
