I have these for the past 3 years 💀

What should I do to make my skin look smooth again. Chemical peel, Laser resurface name brand products??

Ive had acne and dark spots for a few years now, i’m sure majority is caused by hormones.. (I don’t really have the best diet either) But I mainly get acne on my Forehead right between by eyebrows but recently I’ve been getting more acne on my cheeks and around my nose area. Ive tried cerave, cetaphil, panoxyl, ordinary, baby lotion, hydrating cleansers, acne cleansers, salicylic acid, toners, tea tree oil products, black soap, etc. Ive never been fully consistent for longer than a couple months. and i just wanna know whats worked for other people that have my issue (my acne isnt very bad but I have really bad perfectionism and having clearer skin is a need to not pick and cause scarring and irritation)

I was wondering if anyone has tried the new acne cream by Musely. My daughter has on and off acne (gets better in the summer and gets worse around this time of the year) and has used tretinoin before with varying results (the very low dose worked well but when the derm ups it up it results in very bad breakouts that take forever to heal and it has never really got to the point of the benefits outdoing the negatives. We tried other products too). This is compound cream with a very low dose of tret (0.015) plus other actives like azelaic acid, clindamycin and niacinamide which she has used before separately). Since it's kind of new there aren't a lot of reviews. I use another cream from them and I am not seeing amazing results but also I haven't been using regularly.

The 2 i circled when I touch it I feel a bump but all the other red spots doesn’t feel a bump. These spots has been here for months and won’t go away. I randomly started breaking out in like august and been like this since. Please give me some advice

I was recently prescribed clindoxyl and tactupump for my cystic acne and was wondering if I’m okay to continue using my la roche posay effaclar cleanser while on these medications? Or should I switch to something a bit more gentle? (If so - recommendations please!!)

I have been using a fairly new topical called Cabtreo for 3 months, which I've seen major improvement in forming any active acne.

although, i feel that my acne has been leaving behind red marks, but they are flat and haven't been active for a couple months. my skin is sensitive and the cabtreo causes my skin to have alot of redness to it. does this look like PIE and if so what products would work best for me with sensitive skin to get rid of these marks?

• Morning i use a gentle cleanser then i use a 2.5% benzoyl peroxide leave on then follow up with a moisturizer
• Night i use a a gentle cleanser then put on adapalene gel then a moisturizer

What should I do i might do to the derm soon. Ive been useing adapalene for about 4 months and haven't really noticed any results do you think getting tretinoin is worth trying

I have been using benzonyl on my face as a wash and soap and it has made my face look really good, acne has almost completely gone, not really that noticeable. I started using a cream leave on treatment and the next day I woke up to acne on my lower face and neck. Is this a so called "purge" that is occurring, and should I still keep using it? I havnt had acne like this in a long time

Do you have any experience with tretinoid for cystic acne? I got prescribed 0,25 with clindamycine by my derm. She told me to start using every night, but I am scared I will react bad. I am scared to use it in general, I feel like it's very risky and I am just so afraid of further worsening and scarring. Problem is, it is with an antibiotic so I can't just start using it every other night or something.. Does anyone have any experience with this? Should I get back and ask her if she can give the antibiotic separate? BACKROUND: I started getting cystic acne on my cheeks about an year ago. Never had it before. Tried 4 failed treatments. Currently taking benzoyl peroxide with clindamycine. Now, it's just somehow better: the pimples are not as severe but leaving hyperpigmentation still. I saw a lot of bad experiences with tretinoid, no doctor could help me by now and I left with so much confusion..

This small spot appeared on my skin 6 months ago and over time it grew until it became what it is today.

Any ideas on what might help?

I've been using a gentle cleaner and applying niacinamide serum with a oil free moisturizer and then a sunblock. I've had this for a while now, as soon as the acne goes away another one forms on the same area, its only on my right side of the face near the jawline area and my chin usually. what ingredients should i use for the scars and the acne itself, or if they're hormonal, I've been trying to cut dairy, what else can i do? ingredients would be helpful since i don't live in the US so i can just get products with the same ingredients.

Hey I’ve gotten these little sores while sleeping last week and it’s screwed up the corner of my lips how do I help it as lip balm hasn’t improved it.

I’ve stopped accutane this Monday but doesn’t seem to improve. Any tips ? The rest of my lips are normal btw
