I’ve tried lotions, potions, and spot treatments to get rid of my acne, and at a certain point, it felt like I was out of options. Cutting out dairy for almost a year didn't work, and neither did any of the benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid products I tried. While I was desperate for clearer skin, I wasn't willing to go on the pill or Accutane because of the potential side effects. That’s when I started researching other alternative treatments.
