Can you please discuss the really good home remedies for acne?

There aren't any: Benzoyl peroxide is so-so. Everything else... You'll be disappointed or worse, and if you are an adult with responsibility for a teen's physical and emotional well-being, it would be a mistake to deprive him/her of the benefits of the medicines that a physician can provide. This is the 21st century.

Many good ones: There are many home remedies for acne. Vitamin a, c, e, d, zinc, selenium & chromium & fish oil can help. Minimize fried foods, dairy and sweets. An interesting website that discusses home remedies is http://www.Earthclinic.Com/cures/acne.Html here people discuss what has and has not worked for them. Apple cider vinegar & hydrogen peroxide are the 2 most popular ones listed.
