Would you please what did you do to get rid of the acne? My GF has acne too. Various face creams or treatments from dermatologists didn't work.

She tried cutting lactose (milk, cheese), which had a good, but small effect. Would like to try anything else before laser treatments.

Thank you!

I have severe acne, and I tried every treatment on earth, but it turned out that eating oily/fatty food caused my acne. I didn't discover this until in my late 20's. I still get acne at my 40's, if I eat too much fatty food. I can take a burger in a day at most and be fine, but adding fried food and meat definitely is not good for my complexion. Try cutting out certain types of food for a week.
I've heard some people get rashes due to gluten allergies but not sure it exacerbates acne as well.
