Posting here for traffic. DD16 has had acne for 4 years now. She took antibiotics for 6 months which provided some improvement but she still gets acne and has to use the acne cream every night. She also has back acne.

I have read about espiroiactane and DIM supplements. Anyone got experience, can recommend a good DIM supplement. Or will espiro be better?, she has oily skin and oily har which she has to wash ever other night. I think is a hormonal imbalance. She has a good skin routine but it is not enough.

Any side effects for any of these treatments?

She doesn’t want to go on the pill.

Roaccutane will be the last resource.

Hopeful bump but may ask for this to be moved to beauty or teenagers or health
