I had moderate / server acne in my late teens (25 years ago now) Benzyl Peroxide - no effect apart from making skin on face very dry Daily Erythromycin (oral antibiotic) for months and months - no effect. (I dread to think what havoc that pointlessly wreaked on my microbiome at the time) Roaccutane - complete cure within weeks HOWEVER in hindsight this coincided with an unusual period of depression, so was quite alarmed to see the reports of suicide risk more recently. That was not mentioned when prescribed, probably before there was evidence. One thing that's guaranteed to make me a bit spotty, even in my mid forties is a sugar/chocolate binge, so for me the finger definitely points at sugar.
