Actually, contrary to everyone else's experiences, my acne has cleared up this last month! But I'm 31, didn't even get acne until 2 years ago ("adult acne"), and it is definitely hormone-related. In fact, it had finally reached the point that I went to a dermatologist in February and was prescribed the whole retinue of adult-acne meds (except BC, can't take it). Unfortunately I had to stop using all of it because of sun-sensitivity issues. I thought I was doomed to look like a 6' tall overweight teenager (in grad school with a 7 year-old, nonetheless). Lo and behold, I saw my last whitehead over a week and a half ago -- I can't remember my face being completely clear for a number of years. I cannot attribute this to anything but the LC since no other factors have changed. So I don't know -- is it a coincidence? Are the effects of an LC diet different on women of different ages? Different types of acne?
