Help. I have a bit of acne on my cheeks along my cheekbones. I have tried many treatments and they go away for a while but then they comeback again. I tried not using makeup for weeks but its the same. What should I do :0 I dont want to have to wear makeup all the time to feel prettty :(
I had the same problem. People always find themselves using all these products, which I did the same thing. Then, I just started washing my face every day 3 times a day and stopped wearing makeup for a while. My acne was gone within a week! If you want something to help along and dry out your pimples, you can just use rubbing alcohol. Hope this helps!
(whoops accidentally pressed send) so retin-A has worked great for me and all of my friends and it is good for scarring. I must tell you though you must wear sunscreen when using it because it makes your skin very sensitive. Also there may be some burning on your skin (don't be alarmed this is normal and it's only for a few days) so yeah I think it's a great product and I highly recommend it and I just wanted to give you the real deal on the product :)
