I've suffered acne pretty much my entire life well into my thirties. It used to get pretty bad. Over the past year I randomly discovered a correlation: drinking water helps, not drinking water makes it worse. I can't count how many times I've seen articles that end with generic off-hand advice to "hydrate" and just ignored it, because I consume fluid every day. Never occurred to me that this is actually the most important part - drinking enough water will literally improve your life.

Very interesting - as a fellow sufferer I’ll give this a go.

I’ve also found a strong correlation for my own breakouts with drinking caffeine. If I have a caffeinated coffee I can guarantee that a break out will occur within the next few days.

Caffeine is a diuretic FWIW; you may even be noticing the same hydration effect through a different mechanism
