Drink more water. Cut out as much sugar as you can. Zinc is only marginally shown to help. Healthy diet and exercise and a good cleanser with salicylic acid is better.

It’s about as effective as antibiotic treatment in the 70’s. ie not particularly.

If you have severe acne don’t mess about. See a dermatologist and ask about accutane.

Lots of studies. No good data.
