There's a number of factors that might be causing your acne. Stress and some nuts can definitely trigger and in some cases, even worsen your acne. A friend of mine recently used BlemishLess and got rid of her acne in 6 months. I've had other friends with acne, but I'd say hers was the worse and she had the greatest improvement. You should also try to control your sugar intake as well as the foods you consume.
