Answer: Just answered this question a minute ago...but here it is copied and pasted!
The problem that I see here is that you're relying too much on external ways of getting rid of acne. You should really examine your diet and I know for sure that should help with acne or even significantly downsize it without benzoyl peroxide!
Anyway, here's my answer below from another post...
For me (and a lot of my acne-prone friends), it's mostly dieting and taking supplements. Here's my rules for staying acne-free...
RULE #1: Do NOT drink or drink any milk or milk based products. According to Patrick Massey MD, PhD. from the Daily Herald:
"Milk contains estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, androgen precursors like androstendione and other hormones. Some of these hormones are certain to promote acne"
And also in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, suggests that drinking milk might increase the risk of acne in teenagers.
In this study, the Nurses Health Study II, more than 47,000 women completed an extensive form questionnaire about their health and lifestyles. One topic address was their milk-drinking habits as teenagers and whether or not they have been diagnosed with severe acne.
The results showed that those who drank milk be more likely to develop teenage acne. Those who drank more milk have even a higher risk.
RULE #2: Eat low-glycemic foods like integral wheat breads and brown rice. No more sodas, white bread, and white rice.
A study from the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology randomly assigned 43 men with acne to a diet high in protein and low-glycemic-load foods (the treatment group) or to a typical Western diet that contains more foods with a large glycemic load (the control group).
The participants be 15-to-25-year-old young men who had mild to moderate acne and used a day after day skin cleanser. The men in the treatment group were instructed to put away foods higher in protein such as fish, poultry, or lean meat and to focus on low-glycemic-index carbohydrates such as unbroken grain bread and fruits.
Results of the study showed that, after 12 weeks, acne lesions have decreased more in the treatment group compared next to the control group. The treatment group also lost weight and showed an improved exchange in hormonal markers of acne.
RULE #3: Take a vitamin supplement that have specific anti-acne ingredients.
Acne sufferers tend to have lower levels of push button vitamins and minerals like Vitamin A, Zinc, and Selenium.
Fish oils are drastically anti-inflammatory and shown to help acne caused by hormones. In reality, a study from Clinical Therapeuticas (2003) showed that fish oil decreased and acne cause cytokine (LTB4) to the same level as prescripton drug Zileuton!
I recommend a supplement to be exact exclusively made for acne sufferers in mind from:

...because it looks like they know what they're discussion about.
I don't know about you, but when I follow those 3 rules, my acne is almost non-existent! I occasionally get hold of one or two pimples here and there...but who could resist foods like pizza adjectives the time! =)
There is so much more studies I can site regarding this...but for now...try it out! I know it will assistance!
I hope that helps!.
