What I am dealing with
My skin has been a massive cope for way too long. In the past year, I finally got the active acne to settle down—now it’s just the occasional situational pimple. Pathetic.
But the real issue? My Post-Inflammatory Erythema (PIE). It’s completely nuking my complexion and my coloring.
I’ve been trying to fix coloring with peptides like MT1 and MT2, but the PIE makes it impossible to get a clean tan.
So I'm taking action!
