I've been trying to do research on what minerals and herbs are good for the skin and for clearing up acne. Im not really having too much luck! Has anyone tried anything in particular that worked? Are there certain vitamin deficiencies that can make acne or skin problems worse? I swear I thought I read somewhere that green tea supplements are good for acne, but I haven't been able to find where I read it.
 
Vitamin E and evening primrose oil are good for acne but you shouldn't take evening primrose oil is you're on seizure meRAB or if you experience seizures. Green tea is overall good for your body so it can't hurt to try it.
 
If you searched here on the board, you should have found tons.

Zinc, B5 (massive doses, many pills a day), Saw Palmetto, Nettle Leaf, Omega 3s, etc., have all been discussed at length.

I can attest to 50mgs of Zinc and about 350 mgs of Saw Palmetto making my formerly grotesquely oily skin nearly normal and nearly clearing my skin. I later added nettle and omega 3s and believe they made my skin even better, but I'd also started the low simple carb diet too, so can't swear they work. Now, with the diet my skin is 100% clear and I no longer take the Saw Palmetto, Nettle or any more zinc than is in my multi.
