"Linking diet to acne metabolomics, inflammation, and comedogenesis: an update"

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4507494/

Right off the bat it says, "Three major food classes that promote acne are: 1) hyperglycemic carbohydrates, 2) milk and dairy products, 3) saturated fats including trans-fats and deficient ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs)"
and "Nutrition therapy of acne has to increase FoxO1 and to attenuate mTORC1/SREBP-1c signaling. Patients should balance total calorie uptake and restrict refined carbohydrates, milk, dairy protein supplements, saturated fats, and trans-fats."
"In fact, Kwon et al observed decreased SREBP-1 expression in facial acne skin after 4 weeks of a low glycemic load diet."

This is a good figure from the paper to summarize it I feel: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4507494/figure/f1-ccid-8-371/

So yeah, I'm done now, can read it yourself. Pretty comprehensive. Tl;dr: attenuate mTOR signaling pls

I used to suffer from bad back acne (bacne) got an allergy test done turns out I was allergic to egg yokes.
Cut out eggs, it all went after suffering from it for years!

was a relief.

Was eating loads of eggs for ages, guess it finally made me allergic.

My personal experience with acne and diet can confirm this.
