Yes good fats helped my skin.
Buy the flaxseed in the bottle, it's way cheaper and easier to get a tablespoon. The 1G tabs are a rip off since it's good to have 1 or 1/2 TBS daily.
Supplement that with a small amount of primrose oil (for that I just use 1 tab, I can't find the bottles and only a gram is needed).

This gives the perfect ratio of Omega 3, 6 and 9. 1 T flax in a protein shake or whatever and a primrose capsule.

Also like someone said water is important.

Vitamin A or Beta Carotene is also high on the list.

I found that lack of sleep over a period of months also caused me flare ups. I could reverse it by going to bed early for like 5 days in a row.
