On a regular, long-term basis, I find that my complexion is much clearer when I make sure I am drinking enough water (at least 2 quarts) and eat plenty of high-fiber foods.

Contrary to popular belief,supplements don't
target any particular area of the body, The body uses them as natural resources to do its business where it sees fit; The key is to find one that the body uses for everything. An example,I take this one supplement for scar tissure - in the process, my allergies,knee problem and lower back pain are GONE!!! willie

Try this tea,it has milk thistle to help cleanse your liver. You can buy it at most health food stores. It's by celestial seasonings and it's one of their wellness teas. It's call detox tea, has a great vanilla flavor.

Its taken me a while but I am now convinced (thanks to the help of others here on healthboards) that the following will clear up your acne almost immediately:
yes, lots of water, right diet etc....but what worked for me was the following:
supplements of kava kava, burdock root as well as evening primrose and then using the no water cleansing routine with cetaphil...this really works. Rub on the lotion normally and wipe clean with a tissue...using benzoyl peroxide only at night. Other than that...herbal supplements such as barley green and the NB one....a colon cleanser.....and yes milk thistle for the liver as well.

Goodluck and take care!!!!!
