30–40mg of zinc picolinate or bisglycinate daily. Zinc is essential for testosterone synthesis, wound healing, and sebum regulation — making it one of the most impactful supplements for acne-prone skin. Studies show zinc performs comparably to low-dose antibiotics for acne with none of the resistance risk. Also critical for hair follicle function.
