On a side note growing up in my late teens, I had cystic acne.  I went to every doctor and tried everything, including putting my body through Accutane, which came with instructions the size of a phone book!  Nothing worked and the Accutane took years to get out of my system and messed up my joints for months.  Then a friend of mine recommended aloe juice.  I was shocked with the results, drinking about 4oz of whole leaf organic aloe juice cleared my skin up in one month.  So the lesson I learned was that sometimes nature holds the best-kept secrets to healing our bodies.  I hope this helps out a few people who have acne.
