Chloë Grace Moretz opens up about her battle with cystic acne

Chloë Grace Moretz may be a flawless beauty on the red carpet but she's revealed she suffered from cystic acne from a young age.

The 19-year-old Kick-Ass actress said growing up in the spotlight was difficult, as she had the added pressure of dealing with very bright lights, cameras and an industry fascinated with extremely high standards of beauty.

"I dealt with really bad cystic acne growing up," she told Allure.

"I tried changing my diet and my beauty products before going on Accutane. [Having acne problems] was a long, hard, emotional process."

Rather unusually, she claims she uses the following product to get her now near perfect complexion.

"I wash my face with olive oil," she said.

"I swear my skin is so much clearer because of it."

Chloë also revealed that she curls her hair before she goes to bed and sleeps in it, giving it a wavy look in the morning.

Last month she claimed Hollywood insiders frequently suggested she change her appearance in order to boost her chances of success.

She said: "I used to get told to change my teeth all the time, because I had a gap, and I was told that to help give me more of a waistline, they could take out some ribs.

The 'Carrie' actress - who was dating Brooklyn Beckham - admits that she begged her mother to let her have "a boob job, the fat pad beneath my chin removed and a butt reduction" when she was just 16, but she is thankful she was told no.
