ABSTRACT:
A method and composition for treating outbreaks of acne. Initially, the acne affected area is cleaned. A topical spray comprising about 1 to 20 grams niacinamide per 100 grams solution in an inert carrier is then applied to the area. A composition that includes lysine, selenium, chromium and zinc and any desired vitamins and minerals is then taken orally in the form of a capsule or tablet. Generally, at least two spray applications are made and two capsules are taken each day. For optimum skin cleaning, an exfoliation scrub such as a conventional apricot facial scrub is applied to the skin prior to application of the niacinamide topical spray.
