You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

With some people acne gets worse during autumn/winter due to the lack of exposure to the sun. UV light helped me a lot. You can buy a little UV lamp (Facial solarium) for about $50. It can not be used as a long term treatment, because of the skin damage by UV light.

Other light therapy known to help with acne long term is 'blue and red light mixture'. In trial it showed 76% improvement after 12 weeks. There is a really good article on the subject here:

Light therapy is a useful and effective treatment for acne. Light therapy is like a blessing for people who have extreme cases of acne. This kind of acne therapy is a localized treatment and has no adverse side effects. Blue light therapy has several benefits. It's a painless treatment with relatively short therapy sessions. The high intensity blue wave therapy kills the bacteria causing the acne and may help dry up the excess oil that is a large part of the acne. Light therapy is a incredible acne treatment for getting rid of acne naturally.
