  • I suffered with acne all throughout high school and into college. Today I'm talking about how I finally achieved clear skin, the root causes of acne (what your body is trying to tell you!), the supplements I used, and the diet/skin care changes I made. I had cystic acne along with whiteheads AND blackheads (the whole shebang), and my root causes were both digestive and hormonal (forehead and cheeks/jaw).

    I've watched hundreds of videos, did hours of research on acne. I just want it gone. I'm tired of trying so hard. I'm tired of crying and breaking down every night. I'm just so done

    Thank you for posting this!!! Most ladies and gents don't know acne is an internal problem, so they go to heavy use of make-up, birth control, and "skin care products" that only slightly mask symptoms.
    I figured all this out by accident almost 5 years ago. I was really sick, and did research about how to build iron as I was anemic. I started to eat lots of green vegetables from the garden (I'm BIG on hobby gardening), and noticed I felt better. I felt so good I had this crazy idea to eat only veggies and fruits, and nuts; no spray or chemical fertilizers. To my surprise, I nearly healed my anemia, heavy menstrual bleeding (30 days bleeding!), asthma, allergies, acne, headaches, and insomnia, and hair fall out in less than 2 months on a raw food diet. (I didn't know vegan was a thing! Just did it because my body liked it). I noticed I was almost healed,
    and then started taking herbs. In 4 months, my hair had grown back, I had lost 15 lbs of unhealhy weight and gained healthy weight back, and noticed my acne was hormonal and digestive as well. Once I had perfect cycles, no more acne. I also stopped all chemical products and only used oils on my skin and hair. I started school for herbalism and I actually attend Dr. Christopher's College of Herbal Medicine! I eventually made the decision to go full vegan, and I've been vegan for nearly 3 years now. I noticed that cutting out fried foods and sugar (two foods that adversely affect hormones) my acne cleared itself. It's been great.
    Keep spreading the word of natural health.

    Yess omg I hate when little kids say "what's on your face" it makes me feel awful. And i have bad acne I've tried everything and nothing is working. People stare at me. Or I do feel like they stare at me. I hate putting my hair up bcuz with my acne it makes me feel like I look like a boy. And when I'm at the store I feel like I've been scolded by looks. And then i feel quilty at myself for being ugly. I feel fat bcuz all my friends look like twigs and I'm over here looking like a idk what.

    I've dealt with hormonal acne for almost 2 decades now and have tried basically every remedy available. From drinking clay, taking intense medications prescribed by dermatologists, drinking vinegar, applying creams and lotions and acids, etc. Then I happened on this video and it was a complete game changer. I didn't want to get my hopes too high because sometimes I would see results for a month or so and then it would all return. I have been taking probiotics and L Lysine for several months now and this is the best my skin has looked in over 18 years. Now I am trying to find ways to help with some scarring I have but I am so happy with my skin after watching your video. Thank you for sharing!

    I JUST found you! SO EXCITED! I’m a 72 yr old Gramma. My 16 yr old granddaughter has mild acne. Rather than go to an md I’d prefer she treat her skin naturally. YAY FOR YOU! I take 1000mgs of lysine a day to keep cold sores at bay. I had no idea it would help her! I take probiotics for my various GI issues (sigh!) I use apple cider vinegar as a toner AND I only cleanse my face at noon night! (Am I channeling you???) lol Rather than telling her I’m going to suggest we watch this video together. I’m BERY excited and extremely grateful to have found you!!!!! I’ll keep you posted!!! 🤞🏼a Texas Gramma 🌹

    I have had acne since I was 13 and I am 55 now and still break out, my dermatologist put me on retinal A cream, great for wrinkles , but I still break out! So thank you for giving answers, my mom said your acne will go away when you are 18. Well that wasn't true. If you think you are embarrassed as a teenager, well try it a 55. People look at you like you do drugs and that's why your face is broken out. Since the age of 13 I have felt very ugly, so now I can get going on all of these items that Olivia suggest to take. Thank you Olivia!

    Girl, hats down to you! here I am sitting in awe, you are so informed this is one of the best videos I've seen in my life and I'm 31. and had mild acne and whiteheads, blackheads since I was 13. from time to time they get cystic, again it's not as bad as some people have, I am greatfull for that at least, but I'm really tired of it and it left a mark though the years on my skin, scars, pores, pigmentation.. also been going through some hard stressful time in my life last years and sort of gave up on ever having clear skin. your video got me so optimistic to get into the fight again. :)

    As someone who is 31 and has perfect skin all her life until 6 months ago I've gotta say this is the first video that hasn't been saying the same old same and is actually ringing true. My skin went from 10 out of 10 to 4 out of 10 with everything from hormonal, cystic, white heads and everything in between on my forehead, chin and cheeks. I've done everything other than give into topical or oral prescriptions. My skin is is now back to a 7 out of 10 and what worked for me is many of things you said; cutting out dairy and getting my bowls moving through green smoothies with lots of fresh parsley (good for your liver). I think to get me back to 10 out if 10 I'm going to try Lysine. Thank you again for your great video.

I will be trying the L-Lycian because I am still an acne suffer even after changing my diet. I believe my acne is hormonal and maybe this will be what I need. Much love Olivia

    This was the most informative video and best general information I have seen in so long. I had never had acne in my life until the last year, and have been struggling with hormonal, cystic, and painful blemishes. After getting on acne medication, getting regular facials, and seeing doctors I still was left with minimal answers. It's affected my self confidence and overall well being. Thank you for taking the time to not only educate, but help and comfort all of us who are currently struggling with these obstacles. I can't wait to try all of these things to my skin back to where I need it to be. You have a new subscriber from me!

    Olivia, I have to tell you that this video is a gem. This is something that a lot of people need to see, since most people dont know about any of this and mainly most dermatologists dont even note this at all and prescribe medication that a lot of the times make things worse. Your whole video makes sense and its amazing how much knowledge you have and how much effort you put into this. Thank you!

    One of the best and informational videos on acne I’ve ever found. I’m 15, and I’ve had cystic acne since I was in elementary school. I’m on doxycycline right now and yes my cysts are at bay, but I’m seeing more blackheads and tiny whiteheads everywhere along my upper body and now my legs too. I’ve gotten to the point to where I told my mother that I wanted to go back to the dermatologist and get on accutane and now I definitely will be trying all these products and will absolutely show my parents this video. Thank you so much for sharing your story and KNOWLEDGE. So many you tubers just show washes and creams and I knew that there was something more (for me at least) because all of these “remedies” weren’t working. I’m so excited to invest some time and money into curing my skin. Thank you so much!

  • @specialed5055

    OK ive been struggling with my health since i was a kid and you just legitimately explained why. im 24 and Ive struggled with digestion, acne and hair loss since i was 15...yes hair loss at 15. ive found ways of dealing with most of my problems separately but you just connected all the pieces! I stopped going to doctors when i was 17 because nothing was being explained or fixed. I thank you for shedding some light on how to treat health problems that are usually overlooked by the so called professionals.

    @Phliipme 8 років тому +85

    Hey Organic Olivia! New subscriber here, loved the video.
    Just want to say: THANK YOU, you solved the missed piece in my fight against acne!
    Also, for anyone who is struggling with acne too, my advise: try zinc suplements if L Lycine doesn't help. You can also be missing zinc and trust me, zinc is very important for your skin too.

  • @emphoenix247
    @emphoenix247 7 років тому +3

    One of the best and most intelligent videos on any skin routine ever. I love that you talk about how it works, why it works, how it's connected to your insides, and not just like "hey, put this on your skin and it will magicaly heal your acne". I'm heading over to Amazon buy some stuff now :D
    I've had acne pretty much ever since my puberty started, so like 15 years...? I'm almost 30 and my face still looks like it hasn't got the memo. I've had times when it was relatively clean for up to three weeks without any breakage but those are overshadowed in my memory by all other times when I just alway have to hide it with makeup and there is pain and redness and sometimes it takes weeks to just get rid of like three pimples that keep regrowing in one spot and nothing I put on them helps to actually get rid of them.
    This made my skin also full of scars, of course, because a lot of time I get really painful pimples that won't go much near the surface and after a day or so I just can't take it anymore and I torture the hell out of it to just break it out. I know it's the worst thing to do but I can't take the pain and pressure and I've tried all kinds of stuff to put on it to reduce it, nothing works as quickly and reliably, not even toothpaste :P
    I've cut out milk few years ago and I try to replace other dairy products with vegan versions as often as I can but sometimes for convenience I just eat whatever I get my hands on so dairy gets into my diet. This year I have an access to free fresh cow milk and it made my struggle harder because as much as I hate what's behind it, I am also about saving money so sometimes I have that.
    Will try to get better and cut sugar. I am huge sweet-cappucino-addict and I still struggle with getting used to stevia, my will is not strong enough and it just doesn't taste as nice as sugar but I know this is something I have to change if I ever want to be acne free. I think my acne comes from more problems but I definitely consume a lot of sugar every day, even if I am not into sweets that much.
    Enough with tha babbling, thanks for the video and I'm off to get the Lysine. From your video it sounds like it could cure more than one of my all-life problems. I can't even imagine my life without them, honestly. I'd cry like a baby to get finally healthy, stop being tired all the time, get better hair, less painful period etc. etc.

    Medical medium says acne is caused by strep in the lymphatic system.. maybe since l lysine is so good for your immune system and keeping down bacteria and viruses that's why it's so good for acne?

    Hi I just wanted to say I appreciate all the work and research you've done in order to get to the root of healing yourself (and now others!). I've been following you blog and youtube page lately as I am on a similar journey towards self-healing. I've been doing my own research and have taken your advice on the lysine! One thing I did find is that lysine is a useful nutrient in the bone marrow > bone marrow produces > macrophages produce lymphocytes > and lymphocytes help destroy bacteria and dead cells.. Since we have a large collection of lymph nodes in our neck I'm starting to think that clogged sluggish nodes in that area are responsible for my acne that is concentrated on my jaw line ad cheeks. So with decreased functionality of lymph nodes near the neck (possibly due to overall neck blockage..I get really sore there all the time!) maybe the production of white blood cells (lymphocytes in this case) is low and lysine helps to with the production/transportation of these types of macrophages by way of helping out our bone marrow nutritional profile.... Hmmm anyway THANK YOU SO MUCH for these vids! :)

    I've recently have been getting cystic and hormonal acne again and have been having bloating and digestion issues. I've had acne ever since I was 14 and now I am 18 and still suffer from it but the older I got the more severe it had gotten. I have tried so many things to help it but nothing as helped my acne and if it did it would only clear it temporarily. I am going to try my best to follow what you said and I pray to God that hopefully this is what will help clear my acne for good.

I’ve been on so many different acne medications and even as extreme as accutane. My acne was better after accutane but never 100%. Now it’s worse than I remember it ever being. I knew there was more to it and a deeper meaning to this! You’ve finally gave me the answers I’ve been looking for and can’t wait to try everything! Thank you for sharing!

I feel like I'm finally moving in the right direction in terms of healing my skin but I've yet to find a truly comprehensive explanation as to why my skin is still breaking out. I am so frustrated by the countless videos that just recommend a product or method without knowing why and how it works. I'm sick of hearing vague explanations or broad, repetitive statements, because you can just see that they don't really know what they're talking about. Being an analytical person myself, I always need to now the why and how of things, and nothing has come close to your video in terms of getting to the root of a problem. Thank you for all that you do.
    P.s I am sharing the shit out of this video. Everyone must see itttt!!

    Wow, this is the best Acne story I have ever watched. You said so much information about things I have never even heard about but you said it in a way that was so easy to understand. I am also jealous about how smart you are! Going to try everything you said to help deal with my acne as you've convinced me that it is going to help! x thank you!

    As a person that is a biology/chemistry major and who suffers from acne ... I LOVE THIS VIDEO
    Edit: YO!!!!! I bought the L-lysine pills and they actually work!!!! I have been taking them for just 1 week and girl when I say my face cleared up FAST. It's not completely clear but there's a difference and everyone noticed it!! Thank you. Now I'm curious, if I stop taking them will my acne come back?

    you are a bad ass woman! thank you for having a scientifically backed system, that uses reasoning and common sense - something lacking in much skin care that is commercialized and has been corrupted by false advertisements.i will try incorporating this into my life for the next 3 months and will get back to you! Excited because this plan will not only help acne but help with a healthy lifestyle in many aspects.

    Growing up, my acne wasn't that bad, but within the past two years I've started to see the change in my face and my body and I would get so frustrated and down on myself. You kept mentioning all of theses symptoms that occur and I was like "Oh my god, I experience these things", and I just wanted to cry because for the past few years I've just been in pain, and I'm so happy to have found your video and I can't wait to start repairing my body.
    Thank you!

    Saw this video by accident and I have to say I am glad I did. You explained the root cause of acne so so well. Thank you for taking the time to explain it in depth! Most helpful video I have seen on curing acne on UA-cam. Can't wait to try your recommendations.

  • @MandiSamara
    @MandiSamara 7 років тому +119

    So what you're saying is... Lysine could/may help lower serotonin, and potentially help relieve the social anxiety disorder and general anxiety that I've been diagnosed with 15 years ago?? Why aren't doctors prescribing that instead of loading me up with citolipram and ativan? I need to try this. If this helps me, I may cry.

    • @MandiSamara
      @MandiSamara 7 років тому +32

      I paused the video, to comment, right before you spoke about iron absorption. I've also struggled with anemia, and even after supplements, couldn't keep it stored. I was blacking out for a while. I noticed when I was really severely anemic, the acne was also worsened. You just may have solved my problem.
      Holy crap.

  • @bash9032

    This is the holy grail of acne-treatment videos. I have been battling cystic hormonal acne since I hit my early 20s and after spending hundreds of dollars on skincare products with only short term results, I finally picked up some zinc and probiotic supplements... and now thanks to your video I am eager to try lysine as well. Very informative video, I really appreciate the way you discuss the why's and how's. So glad I found your channel :)

    Everything you said is so true! I had acne all my life and always was sick with chronic illness. Took Accutane and every antibiotic possible for acne. Ended up with the worst gut problems and more sick and for a month it got super terrible and during that time my skin looked awful. Once I solved my gut my skin started glowing!! Still healing but already improving.

  • @art__bycarmen
    @art__bycarmen 6 років тому +3

    wait!! i have all these symptoms you described and no doctor even told me that the cause of that could be that i have too much bad bacteria on my body! i will ask my doctor for specific exams to see what is going on and for food allergies! thank you so much this could change my life forever

  • @amberdove3895
    @amberdove3895 7 років тому +5

    Omg I can't believe I had this in my "watch later" queue for so long. I though you were gonna promote another sponsored product. I just got rid of dairy from my diet and have already seen improvement in my acne! I plan on implementing the supplements you talked about. I've been dealing with acne for 13 years! Hope this helps. Regardless thanks for sharing your research and experience :)

  • @Txchi512

    This is so helpful! I actually found that my severe scoliosis has been pinching the nerves that go directly into my digestive system, live, heart and lungs! So right now I am under intense corrective care to fix and help that and bring back functionality to my digestive system through adjustments and intense home physical therapy. On top of this I am working on detoxing my body. I also had a freak illness 5 years ago where my lymph nodes in my neck both abscessed. I never detoxed or healed from post hospital and then I had a baby shortly after! So I know my body is damaged and needs a lot of help. In the last 6 months I started getting consistent acne on my forehead, like the deep cystic and very painful kind! On top of that, I developed a scalp condition which is like skin overgrowth and causes "scabs" all over my head in certain areas. Thankfully, I have my skincare down pat to help my acne topically, I use Earthwise Beauty and absolutely love it! This oil looks so unique!

    So let me Begin by Saying.Thank you!! Taking probiotics and L-Lysine truly worked! Yes! My skin feels so much softer and like my own finally! I take it everyday twice a day. And I get very tiny pimples instead of painful cysts all over my chin that last weeks!! And I clean my face with a Charcoal bar, use ACV like u said, and BurtBees Nourishing lotion. So yeah my skin thanks you!

    Omg, I totally relate to little kids pointing out my acne. One time, I had a pretty bad breakout and I got a bunch of acne under my nose and my little cousin said to me, "What happened to your face"!? And my Uncle heard and everyone in my family laughed at what she said. I felt so humiliated and it really hurt my self confidence. Acne is hard y'all! But thank you so much for the informative video!
