I just want to know what is good to eat and what vitamins. Not topical products please. If I have to drink beet juice I want to know. If I have to take a certain vitamin I want to know. I do not need the old wives tales or topicals.

yup, the beet juice can be helpful, the carrot juice is a major winner for skin due to the high Vitamin A content. When I first started clearing mine up I drank about 1 quart of fresh juiced organic carrot juice per day and consumed little else. It was magic. A high quality multi-vitamin / mineral/ herb supplement is excellent nutritional advice.
The magic pill is mega-doses of beta-carotene ( I take 9 large beta-carotene caps per day). ( To save money I buy these on-line in quantity) Your body converts it to vitamin A as needed, avoiding the problems of Vitamin A overdose and toxicity which is very important. I use The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine by Michael Murray ND who is a naturopathic doctor at Bastyr College in Seattle. This book has helped me remedy many chronic ailments.
No sugar, coffee, alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, etc.
Fresh raw and steamed veggies, small amounts of lean protein, exercise, hot soaking steamy baths with pure castile soaps, scub the body and face frequently with separate boar bristle brushes while soaking in the hot steamy tub. (castile soap has no animal fat in it, and Kirks Castile ( available at local Kroger grocery store near the mega-corp. bath soaps, or on line by name on the company website) is excellent and only about $1 per long lasting bar, good for the whole body & face).
I also use an inexpensive green clay masque (Queene Helene's Mint Julep clay masque from Walgreen's for about $3. a tube, or plain green clay from the local health food store mixed with apple cider vinegar for really thorough cleaning) frequently to assist the body in eliminating all the debris. Get enough sleep.
Do this faithfully daily for even one week, and you should easily start to see your skin improve noticably.

If you’re looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne… prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symposium and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.
For me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it’s advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.
Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.
Oh, by the way the site that helped me is:

Right now my skin is perfectly clear, for the first time in 3 years. It's been about 9 weeks and all my acne is gone. It is such a great feeling to wake up with clear skin.

Drink lots of water and eat a balanced diet. Try to get a little more vitamin E, as that does help the skin.
Good luck!

my dad used to tell me not to eat eggs or chocolate and not to drink milk cus it makes my acne worst. well, i never listened to him becus its not true. acne is apart of you. its not becus of what you eat.
i use proactive solutions. its a three piece cream and it works great.
other then that i dont know. going on a diet just to make your acne go away ,i see it as nonsence. when you stop dieting, which im sure you will since your human and not a robot, your acne will come back. so use some products.
