Blue/Redlight therapy
I use a high power lamp cost me about 120$ for both the red and blue. Some background on what they do. Blue light therapy is used to kill bacteria on your face. I still need to use it for longer but so far its given me no real issues although there are some concerns about it having the same effect as UV light. But so far its giving me no issues and I use a retionol with it. I try and use is sparringly no more then 20 minutes daily. You can feel the light on your face the beam is so intense I get the same feeling I do being outside on a sunny day. Also don't use this before bed ideally in the morning since blue light wakes you up. And wear eye protection googles over your eyes as this spectrum is bad at a high intensity.
Red light is FDA approved with way more trials. It seems to have little if any downsides. Redlight does not prevent acne but it will aid with the healing process (its more of a long term thing) it also has improved my mood you can use it before you sleep ideally I want a set up where the light turns on while I am asleep redlight can actually make you more tired. At night unlike blue light. For both of these I use the one by Hooga health got it off amazon just make sure whichever brand you use has good reviews and a 30 day return policy. For the red light therapy use it as long as you want I try to do bare minimum 30 minutes a day.
Skin care products
I am currently trying to simplify it more but mainly it consists of tretinoin this promotes skin cell turn over allowing acne to be healed also lowers oil production. Always wear sun screen and make sure its designed by Koreans. American products are never designed with good skin care in mind make sure they mention its good for sensitive skin. I only wear it on my face since retionols weaken melanin production making you more vulnerable to skin damage if you use the light therapy products above and take vitamin D you should have zero negative effects from lack of sun. This is more for hair then skin but I put an egg yolk on my hair and face at least a few times per week in the shower. It really improves hair quality have noticed slight skin effects but not too sure. And then make sure you cleanse at least once a day maybe 2 times if you wore sunblock but don't over do it.
Diet and life style
The best foods for acne and skin so far for me have been foods rich in cholesterol (don't believe meme doctors its always healthy unless your fat higher cholesterol is much better then low levels) eat foods high in Vitamin A/C. Carrots are the main one but also things like blueberries are good. Bannnas and potatoes have good potassium levels. And just avoid unnatural sugars. Biggest thing is increasing vitamin A almost every acne cream or skin care product on market uses forms of vitamin A and its key for skin health and regeneration
The last step/conclusion
These products are all very great for mediating the things that cause acne. They kill bacteria clean off oil and dirt and promote skin regeneration. But at the end of the day these products should be additions. You must find out what at the core causes your acne. For me it was always related to bacteria I took anti biotics for 1 year and it made my skin perfect but it fucked up my gut in the long run and after it wore off I had bad acne even at 20. In the long run these products can only help treat these issues slightly if you have a major health issue with your gut or hormone problems you will always be fighting so I recommend you solve the root issue acne is a sign of inflammation and infection on the face and indicates something is wrong with you. As soon as the things causing your inflammation go away or reduce then you will notice these products work even better and you can focus fully on having regenerated young looking skin parts of my skin look 17 years old before my skin was aged to hell by acne scars
