What is a very effective way to treat adult acne?

I have been treating it since I was 12 with topical and oral medications, but want to know what has worked on others. Accutane is not an option… to many possible cons.

Adult acne are stubborn. I’m afraid that accutane is the last resort for such condition. However, if you don’t wish to go for that (even I’d do the same), you can continue with the things you have been doing all these years. It will gradually go as you turn older.
I used a topical lotion named Erytop which worked well for me but after continual usage of this for 5 years, it stopped working. My skin got used to this. Then I took glycolic peels which gave relief for 5 months and then I was back to the same condition. I am still trying things to keep acne at bay, don’t think one can totally get rid of them.
I’ve had acne since I was a teenager. I did take Accutane and it helped for a while, but the acne came back, though less severe. I’m 26 now. I recently changed my diet to cut out refined sugar and refined flour and started eating more raw veggies because I suspected blood sugar issues. Surprisingly, (because all the dermatologists I went to as a teenager said diet has no affect on acne) my skin cleared up very quickly. It’s been 3 weeks since I changed my diet and I haven’t had a single breakout. Google “sugar and acne” and you can find out a lot of the science behind it, which is what I did only after noticing the results. So if you have a family history of type 2 diabetes or reactive hypoglycemica, I would give a change in diet a try!
