I was dx with Rosacea 2 months after my DD was born. I had always had some acne but nothing like it is now. I had to be put on doxycycline for it and recently went off of it since my DH and I are TTC #2 and since doxy has super high percentages of birth defects, I wanted it out of my system.
Soo anywho...I started taking Garlic and surprisingly my severe Rosacea has stayed at bay..I still have pretty bad acne but I can only assume that it can really clear someone up that has moderate acne.
I take 800 mg of garlicin a day. Its the non odor kind so its not like I smell
I take 2 100 mg pills 3 xs a day ...Vitex also has helped my cystic acne which is caused by over production of androgens in the body which is a symptom of PCOS.
I have stopped taking the Vitex since I am just now in the process of getting my official dx of pcos.
