My acne was literally this bad 2 weeks ago (not me in the pic, clearly)
I bought:
benzoyl peroxide 2.5%
azelaic acid 10% the ordinary

in just 1 and a half week of using my acne went down by 70% and actually healed.

started both at the same time, also combined with starting tretinoin just for maxing effects

also wear 50spf sunscreen while using because all of theese get you burned by the sun and cause damage

wont it just come back when u get off these substances?

there must be some kind of lifestyle cause for your acne. Like diet.

I know, but I'm not trying to go for the cause, I'm just going for effect rn. I will water fast at some point (I had glass skin after water fasting)

It’s genetics mostly.
But certain foods like diary or high sugar can accelerate your acne. Diet itself can’t cure genetically based acne. It just can make it worse or less severe.

if i were u i’d ditch the benzoyl peroxide.
why?
azelaic acid is both an antibacterial and exfoliating substance. it does the job of both benzoyl peroxide AND retinol, which paired up with benzoyl, will dry out your skin. you’re drying your skin out with something that azelaic acid already has covered

So just use azelaic acid in combination with tretinoin instead of benzoyl?

no, because azelaic acid is kinda like a jack of all trades. it does the job of retinol, benzoyl peroxide, and salicylic acid all in one.

So what should I be and not be using? I will get tretinoin in a week trying to see what else I need to pair it up with

if u get tret, use aza in the morning, and tretinoin at night. the aza wil help to clean up the purge. make sure to use a moisturizer. if ur skin begins to sting or feel super dry after the month mark of using tret, discontinue aza and keep on using tret as the ONLY active ingredient.
