Dr John Anne asked:
The acne industry is an insatiable one. It creates so called “new acne products” almost every day with no intention other than to make scorching piles of money playing with people’s emotions and trust. People still go on searching for acne cures endlessly.
Each and every month people spend spends a small fortune paying their ‘acne bills’; the cost of trying to clear their acne filled skin is high. The products people usually try are general cleansers and other topicals products. People in desperation even try fasting on apples for three days and this also does not pay them any worth.

Yellow Dock - Yellow Dock or Rumex crispus is used widely in the treatment of chronic skin complaints, especially psoriasis associated with constipation; acne and obstructive jaundice.
