my skin was always my worst ever feature, some days when i have good skin im just genuinely happy because i feel like i look good, but most of the time my skin just makes me look like a subhuman. i recently finished accutane 1-2 months ago and now some acne has started popping up again and i really don’t know why, i eat clean, live a healthy life style. maybe it’s genetics because i had REALLY bad acne pre accutane. also i suffer from this redness which i assume is rosacea but i really can’t diagnose it and maybe yall can help, and finally these fucking post inflammatory acne scars. i got no clue how to get rid of them. im thinking of acne scars laser treatment but not sure yet. so if yall have any tips or solutions on how to fix my skin please let me know.

yeah it flares up like crazy in the sun and also when it’s cold. and yeah when i eat spicy food my whole face just becomes red. do you know any pharmaceutical that could help with this?
there are plenty of options that could help with the inflammation but when it comes to flushing and telangiectasia (visible blood vessels) they won't do much. you can try metronidazole, soolantra (ivermectin) and/or azelaic acid.
the most important things are:
1. always wear SPF
2. use gentle skincare
3. avoid triggers like wind, extreme heat/cold, stress, hot food/beverages, alcohol and too much sun

the only thing that reliably gets rid of persistent facial redness is vascular laser (KTP, yellowlaser or Vbeam). I had several laser...

Not even that bad bro, what are u stressing for?

In puberty a few pimples is almost unavoidable. Sum topical retinoid might work, accutane does not seems necessary

does your redness flare up or is it always the same?
the redness is always there is just very subtle, but as soon as i workout or do something that would pump more blood, my face just flares up like crazy.

damn, then you probably have rosacea. does it also flare up in hot/cold weather, when eating hot food etc?

where do you think is a good place to buy skin care? i mean obv there’s amazon but i doubt something like azelaic acid would be helpful if it came from amazon.

i’m currently looking into getting laser treatments for my post inflammatory erythema and obv the redness so which laser would you recommend based on overall effectiveness for both problems, or will i have to get 2 different laser treatments for these issues.

the best place to get the active ingredients I mentioned above, is from your dermatologist/GP as they all require a prescription (azelaic acid is OTC as long as the concentration is below 15%, afaik).
when it comes to "basic" moisturizers, cleansers etc: I get them from reputable brands like paula's choice, the ordinary, eucerin, la roche posay or some korean brands and order them directly from the online shop of the brand itself or buy them at a drugstore/pharmacy.
I personally never bought skincare from amazon.

one laser will target both problems effectively. vascular lasers have a specific wavelength (532nm-600nm) which targets hemoglobin and thus "destroys" the tiny blood vessels that are responsible for your redness (PIE and rosacea). I had good results with KTP-laser (brand name excel-V or DermaV). Vbeam is also very effective but has a longer downtime. it can produce bruising which lasts up to 4 weeks.
you will need 3-4 lasser sessions anyway, one won't be enough.

so what would you say is like a good skin care regiment for me to start to get rid of acne, get that glassy male model skin, to shrink my pores, and ig for the redness/acne scars.

i was just researching the laser you mentioned and i saw a before and after result of a women having better under eye area after treatment with a excel-v laser and just want to know if i could also get similar results since my under eyes are like pink/purple because of lack of fat and so my blood vessels just show. also would i need to specify in a consultation that i want the laser to treat both the redness and acne scars?

start low dose accutane again (5-10 mg/d), you won't get your acne under control without it.
morning: 10% tranexamic acid serum from cos de baha, oil free moisturizer from paula's choice and eucerin oil control 50+ SPF.
evening: paula's choice oil free moisturizer

It's best do discuss it with your derm. the undereye area normally isn't red, more like purple/blue and 532nm isn't a good wavelength for that. you would have to tell the laser practicioner what areas you want to have treated and with what intensity, often times they also offer a test-run to see how your skin responds.
and just to be clear: the laser will only target redness/discoloration and not textural issues. so if you have deep acne scars they won't go away with KTP laser, only the PIE will fade. if you want to treat really bad scarring you would need another laser.

maybe i’m coping but the undereye area looks a lot better and a lot more vibrant after the excel-v laser treatment.

sorry, I totally forgot about the cleanser. it's defnitely a very important step in the routine, especially with acne prone skin. I personally use a cleanser from my dermatologist that isn't widely available. the la roche posay toleriane cleanser is very similar, I would recommend that one for your skin type. make sure to not use an irritating cleanser with active ingredients like BHA, you really need to use a gentle cleanser.
the most important thing is accutane anyway, low dose accutane can even alleviate your redness and inflammation from the rosacea.

regarding excel-v: it's also advertised as an anti-aging treatment and my skin always looks more vibrant after a full-face session.
I don't really see that much difference on the photos regarding undereye discoloration tbh.

i can see why you don’t think there’s much difference but if u look at the first photo there’s a very clear blue vein there, and after treatments the blue vein goes away. and since it’s not a red blood vessel it just looks like it can also help with under eye area.

I didn't count the blue vein as part of the under-eye area, but you're right; it was removed by the excel V. the excel V laser is a laser system. it consists of the KTP laser (532 nm) for telangiectasia and general redness and the Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm). the Nd:YAG targets deeper vascular lesions, venous malformations, and leg veins. so the Nd:YAG is needed for blue veins. it can definitely target bigger veins but I don't think that it can help much with the general dark appearance of your undereyes.

well mine aren’t really dark the veins are pretty visible in my under eyes matter of fact, guess i’m just coping that a laser could fix that lol.

also dyk how i can make my undereye area appear better? it looks very sunken in because of the missing fat in that area, and i can’t get fat grafts until im 18. so i just need help on how can i make my undereyes more full.

you can't bro, I'm sorry. you can't magically grow bones at your age and skincare is cope for undereye discoloration due to lack of fat/bone support. the only options would be makeup/bb cream or fillers, I'm sure some places offer fillers even for underage folks.

i mean from 14-15 my mandible grew 2 mm, my maxilla went forward growing 1 mm. but my orbital region never got better so it really can’t be a skeletal issue unless my maxilla is just very bad or unless my vectors and infras are bad.

yeah i’ve been considering bb cream but what’s most annoying in that my lower eyelid just looks droopy and it’s not even ayego sal which just makes my undereye area even worse.
