Adding a bit of info to this useful thread:
I quit drinking ~1 quart of milk (whole, but don't think it matters - it's not the saturated fat) a day, and started on 5% benzyl peroxide (Galderma, expensive) at night. Used 2.5% before, of a shittier brand (acne.org) - dried out skin MORE due to alcholos in it.
Acne 100% gone in 6 weeks. Use benzyl peroxide every 3rd night now, will scale down to 4th etc over time. That's the only changes I made to lifestyle. My skin looks extremely healthy now, minus some light scarring/discoloring. So I'll never buy milk ever again (I don't avoid cheese/sour cream etc - I figure my body has some level it can deal with regarding the hormones in cow's milk causing it. From what I've read it's the bovine growth hormones that cause the increased skin oil production).
There is a huge link between diet and acne for a lot of people, and refined sugar (which I don't eat any of regardless) and diary are the largest sources.
