In this video, I’m going to share with you how to get rid of acne. There are several factors that will affect the skin, but today we’re going to primarily focus on the sebaceous gland. 

There are small sebaceous glands in your skin. If the sebaceous gland is malfunctioning, you could have acne, oily skin, or dry skin. 

Fat-soluble vitamins are very unique. They can actually affect the DNA of the cell and control your genes. This is why if you’re deficient in fat-soluble vitamins like vitamins A, D, E, and K, you could have a lot of structural problems. 

Causes of acne and how to get rid of acne:

Low vitamin A
If you’re vitamin A is low, you could have problems with the sebaceous gland. Vitamin A controls and regulates the sebaceous gland. Vitamin A can also kill unfriendly bacteria in your skin, and it also controls the oil in the skin. 
• Keep your friendly bacteria healthy 
• Consume foods rich in vitamin A (liver, butter, egg yolks, high-quality virgin cod liver oil) 

Low vitamin D
Vitamin D is great for your skin, and it’s actually good for the immune system. You don’t want to get too much sun to where you get a sunburn, but a small amount of sun can be good.
• Get more sun
• Take high-quality virgin cod liver oil

The gallbladder
If a person has a congested gallbladder or a congested liver, a bad liver, or they don’t have a gallbladder, they could be deficient in bile. Bile is a fluid that helps you break down fats and fat-soluble vitamins. If you’re consuming fat-soluble vitamins and your skin is not getting better, it could be that you don’t have enough support from the gallbladder to absorb the vitamins. 

Androgens
Androgens are hormones produced by your stress glands (your adrenal glands), the ovaries, and testicles. Stress and too much sugar can trigger androgens. 

Low vitamin B5 
This vitamin could help give you clear skin. But, you don’t want to take too much because too much could cause other deficiencies. One main thing that can deplete vitamin B5 is stress.  

Insulin 
Insulin is a hormone that's triggered by sugar. Insulin can influence the sebaceous gland.

This man deserves a medal so many skin “doctors” just prescribe scrub and antibiotics.

[itsmidtrib]

Lord I pray that you help me get rid of sugar in my diet. I can’t do it alone but through Christ all things are possible. As I learned from Dr. Berg, sugar is the root all kinds of evil

The reason why I love this doctor is because after dealing with acne for over 10 years now, I definitely understand what he’s saying is the right way to treat acne. No topical cream will solve any problems, because the problem is internal- it comes from hormonal imbalance and vitamin deficiencies. I can attest to the fact that going a whole month without sugar cleared up my skin significantly. Also, never take antibiotics for acne, you’ll actually do more harm then good because that creates an imbalance in good and bad bacteria and normally the bad starts taking over. It can take months to restore to a proper balance. Also, stress and not sleeping enough is the biggest contributing factor to acne probably too.

Why some people can eat everything but not havig a pimple?

[bauman]

I would add avoiding wheat and diary. I have leaky gut and my acne and eczema cleared almost instantly after I eliminated soy, gluten, and dairy from my diet

[GinAmber]

Great video, stress is my number one that cause my acne.

[bohochic]

thank you! i started a clean eating 'diet' 3 months ago, after reading the book from dr. kris verburgh (dutch), so no more sugar and more fat and fruit and when i started friends and colleagues made fun of me:all that fat (nuts, avocado, coconut), you will never loose weight etc....
now i lost 15 kilos/33pnds and i have way more energy and my skin cleared up!! now they all want to know how it works!!!!thank you for sharing this 'new wisdom'!!!!

[stefanos]

Quit years with cystic acne and in the fourth month without dairy i am almost clear.Also use Retinol, it helps a lot.

[Imjustarichgirl]

Literally so happy I found this video I wanna cry.

[mistersir]

listening to Dr. Eric Berg DC and Dr. Axe has changed my life for good. These guys really know what they're doing, so grateful that they're on youtube. Thank you!

[glenicejohnson]

Good information. But I hate the way Dr. Berg says "cod liver oil". It took me forever to figure out what he was saying.

[romarioosborne]

Dr Berg I make it my mission to watch atleast one of your videos every single morning I wake up. They are so short, concise and interesting and I always learn alot more about the true science of Why the bodyh does what it does and why the body is a certain way. Amazing!

[stephaniec.]

Best video on acne I've seen. It really gets to the core of the problem instead of trying to treat it topically.

[MshTch]

I had issues with acne for more than 15 years. Lately the doctor diagnostic rosacea. I have never went out without makeup. When I have watched this in August, I have started taking D3 and Cod Liver Oil with vitamin A and my problem was all gone after 1 week. It is November now, my skin is clean and healthy. Thank you Dr. Berg, I am impressed with your knowledge <3

[MarcEllis]

Dr Berg, please end with the phrase, "and we'll see you in the next video" as you have done before, it's a great touch not to be lost.

[KnowingOneify]

I have adult acne and the brown spots (connect the dots) that go along with them! I doctor diagnosed low vitamin D, so i ordered Dr. Berg's. My dermatologist or GP NEVER explained any of this to me - good grief! Going to Whole Foods to look for Virgin Cod Liver Oil!! I now ONLY buy pasture raised eggs!

This man is a diamond - I'm so very thankful to have come upon him!

[Herhighness]

He is absolutely correct! I’m so grateful to him for being an honest and informed healthcare provider. Thank you!!!

[mobopolo]

In the 1960's my dad's doctor prescribed sunshine for his acne, he said it worked really well. Also, my grandma made him take a spoonful of cod liver oil every morning.

[qPolakq]

[kasiabanasiak]
