Get a grip a lotta people here have permanent acne scars all over their face.

Invest in a concealer and you’ll be good .

The hyperpigmentation will fade soon. Getting sun while wearing sunscreen will fade it faster.

Retinol did that?

I’m thinking of hopping on it to clear my skin for a bit.

Just get tret 0.025% alongside tazarotene .1%

Honestly skipping the concealer and just running a topical vitamin A derivative or azaelic acid at night will speed up your healing process. Wear sunscreen of course UVA and UVB, the koreans got the best shit rn that rubs in perfectly no cast at all.

I always wear sunscreen when outside if its sunny. This week its been raining every day and Im not wasting my sunscreen when theres few uv

Wear sunscreen every day that’s like rule #1 bhai what are you doing. If there’s sunlight there’s UV you know this….

For fading those breakouts try using sunscreen daily, Vitamin C serum, niacinamid, exfoliate 2–3x/week, AHA/BHA, don’t pick, moisturize, and be patient (it takes time)

Do not start at 0.5. You have to start at an extremely low concentration (lowest you can find) and work up to higher concentrations over x amount of time, eventually finding the right concentration for your skin. You will be running a topical retinoid for the rest of your life if you care about your skin so don’t rush the process.
