Bad skin. Acne. Help!

Just wanted to say that @anon8411913 , you are so beautiful! Don’t be hard on yourself because of acne. You’ll find something that will work.

I hope the retinol idea does the trick for you. I’ve heard it does a lot of things for the skin. I also would advise again that I read you must use sunscreen when you use a retinol product. Just something to keep in mind if your dr or you decide to try that. Best wishes to you!!

Thanks for advices to you all. :heart: and thanks for such kind words.
:slight_smile: @Anna1 @anon90992146 big big thanks. I rarely feel pretty, but I am working hard on my self esteem.
A bit out of context- but when I appreciate myself a bit more, others do too. :eyes:

My dermatologist recommended differin gel to use at night.
If you have sensitive skin a good face wash to use is the dermoligica acne wash. It doesn’t make my face as red as all the other cleansers i have tried.

i had some acne. i use Differin. it used to be a prescription but now it is over the counter where i am. the thing about it tho is it will make ur skin worse for like 2 months because it pulls everything out. and it can be drying (but i havent had a problem with that). ive used it now for about 6 years. it also prevents fine lines and wrinkles. if u use it tho make sure u only use a pea sized amount and apply it to only where its supposed to go. i youtubed it to see how to apply it. sunscreen is good while on it too if ur gonna be in the sun a lot. it can make u burn easier.

oh and if differin doesnt work, u can get a stronger version from the doctors. they are called retinoids.

another thing i have learned is that if ur face is oily that can be caused by dry skin, i know it sounds weird. but if u moisturize the oil production should reduce. but either way, oily or dry, moisturizer is good. i got one from clinique its their gel moisturizer for combination skin and i really like it. it absorbs good.

im loving this one:

I took accutane and it worked. Also cut back on sugar and carbs. Bacteria love sugar.
