NOT THE SYMPTOMS!! THE WAY TO A CLEAR COMPLEXION WHICH HAS WORKED FOR ME IS PROPER NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS. FORGET ABOUT USING TOPICAL CREAMS ON YOUR PIMPLES BECAUSE THEY WILL JUST KEEP COMING BACK UNLESS YOU CHANGE YOUR DIET!! Acne IS REALLY "CAUSED" BY HAVING IMPURITIES IN YOUR BLOOD. WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT YOUR FOOD IS NOT BEING DIGESTED AND THIS LEAVES MANY TOXINS IN YOUR BLOOD WHICH CAN COME TO THE SURFACE OF THE SKIN THROUGH THE SEBACCAUS OIL GLANDS. HERE IS WHAT I RECOMMEND. DRINK 3 GLASSES OF WHEAT GRASS JUICE PER DAY (I USE THE POWDERED VERSION WHICH IS AVAILABLE AT MOST HEALTH FOOD STORES). I ADD 2 TEASPOONS OF LIQUID CLORYPHYLL TO EACH GLASS ALSO (CLORYPHYLL IS GREAT FOR SKIN!). ALSO TAKE 1800MG OF NIACIN AND 9,000MG OF PANTOTHENIC ACID EVERY DAY. TRY THIS FOR 1 MONTH AND SEE THE AMAZING DIFFERENCE IN YOUR COMPLEXION!! I THINK YOU'LL STAY WITH THE PLAN AND DROP ALL OF THE TOPICAL CREAMS FOR EVER.
