anything that got rid of your acne for good/made it super manageable? (pretty sure mine is hormonal, like cheeks/chin area.) I’m at a loss, I feel ugly and feel like nobody in college has acne but me

hydrocolloid bandages (bigger than pimple patches but same thing) they itch a little but they get all the gunk out, wash ur face twice a day and use niacinamide serum then something hydrating. i also use witch hazel as a toner and a discoloration serum bc my skin gets blotchy. THIS HAS WORKED FOR ME! it won’t work for everyone tho :,)

I drink chlorophyll w my water. And I always use panoxyl wash. I use to do witch hazel but it’s a little too strong as a daily thing.

I’m currently on Spironolactone from my derm and it’s been about 2 1/2 weeks and I’m really hoping that works before asking if accutane is an option😓I’ve had Tretinoin in the past during like middle school and it seemed to help mildly but it just kept coming back

I’ll have to ask my derm if it’s an option after my current stuff is over🫠I’ve heard all the good and the bad about it

How severe is it ?

I wouldn’t even say severe, it’s actually calmed down a hell of a lot over the years. I’m just sick of the acne itself and I can’t seem to ever truly get rid of it. It keeps leaving the dark spots which is part of the reason it’s pmo

I’ve been a couple of times and idk if it’s just the way I’m framing it but they never give me anything continuous, just something short term and I don’t understand why when it’s never helped beyond the short term
