I had never heard anything about diet being linked to acne. My sister eats a ton of junk food and has great skin, but I watch what I eat and it took two rounds of Accutane to get my acne only mostly cleared. I still have rosacea and some breakouts that I'll probably have until I'm 80. As far as I know, acne is all about genetics. Since I was 12, I've battled bad breakouts. I went through all kinds of cleansers, antibiotics, and treatments before my try at Accutane, which surprisingly didn't have any side effects for me except for the occasional nosebleed. Philosophy's "On a Clear Day" is a pretty nice wash that I've found. Doesn't smell great, but the sulfur is good for acne.
