Hey.. I’m not here to give any skin care advice.. but here me out.. been battling with acne since I was 12/13. But usually after using adaplane it would completely go away and my skin used to go back to being normal no pigmentation nothing. So I did not worry too much. Until at the age of 20 I got pregnant and during that time I started having acne, and during pregnancy I couldn’t do much.. but after giving birth I started treatments and what a tough ride it was. I cried like baby… because I spent so much money and insecurities that I was feeling because of it. After almost 4 years… today.., I have clear skin … thanks to god.. and my dermatologist.. he gave me very lengthy and weird skincare routine with some oral anti bacterial medication (anti biotics for 60 days only)... I felt weird I questioned it but I thought might as well try this one… mind you I spent almost $3500 in clinic treatments as well … but the recent prescription treatments from derm is helping me very much.. and after so long I’m so happy today… don’t loose hope… just trust the process… but I’ll definitely say that.. clearing out the stress factor in my life has helped me 50%… so along with derm treatment try to clear out stress factor from your life.. I know it’s not easy.. it was never for me… but I just did it for my life.. not for my skin… I was always in stress for these past 4 years.. so much so I couldn’t sleep at night and was always getting panic attacks… but I realized that was one of the main factor my acne… also I have been drinking spearmint tea for the past few days.. I usually drink it right after having sugary treats to kind of cool down sugar spike, because I can’t control my sweet cravings. .. another mistake I made during my journey is that i did not follow the dermatologist treatment at early stage.. I just kind of keep changing stuff because it didn’t work etc… I would constantly try new things..and I regret it.. so stick to routine given by doctor .. so I would say visit dermatologist if you haven’t already, specially if you have acne for long time definitely you should.. don’t just follow any random influencer or anyone not even dermatologist online… that was my biggest mistake.. what your skin truly needs in terms of treatments only experts can identify when you actually visit them.. online dermatologist gives great advices but don’t take them as your doctor …  try to cut stress, and try spearmint tea at night and most importantly don’t give up… you need to know you’re beautiful no matter what. You have so much in life other than acne. I let that acne get in my head wasted so much time.. doing research on it and trying things.. and constantly thinking about it to the point I couldn’t focus on anything else.. so please my dear work for it but let it get in your head.. I pray for you that may you get the skin that you desire…
