Toxins, bacteria and excess oil production can cause acne, and are made worse by hormones, environmental factors and diet. Since these factors all vary during a typical month, your acne can flare and recede. Using BHA and AHA can help acne, but may not completely clear it permanently. Eat a healthy diet, drink plenty of water, wash your face daily and avoid oil based makeup/lotions.
