<p>Eating paleo didn't improve my acne (37 yr old female). I went to a naturopath to get some testing done to try to figure out what is going on. He did an in-office zinc test and I learned it was very low, even though I was taking daily supplements! He gave me an easily absorbable zinc supplement, which I take twice per day. In three months, I've gone from probably a dozen deep cystic lesions on my chin, jaws and cheeks to clear skin, even during PMS. Fingers crossed - I hope this is for real! I've also had some success with a 2% benzoyl peroxide solution in the past, though it never stopped the PMS-related breakouts. (Acne.org) I'm also getting a hormone test done which may shed some light on causation. Acne causes are different for everyone, but I must say I'm surprised by the effect zinc seems to be having on me. Try a naturopath. Also, you might check out Chris Kresser's podcast on the connection between the gut and skin. That said, you're still young so you might clear up naturally as you get older. </p>

I'm taking Metagenics' Zinc A.G. (glycinate), 20 mg twice daily. It's worked wonders for my skin, but it hasn't increased my sex drive (lower than it used to be in pre-Paleo days).
