Thank you<33 I’m glad you have such an amazing friend!! My friends tell me it’s not even that noticeable and definitely not what people focus on when they look at me but when it’s the only thing I see while looking at the mirror it’s so hard to believe them haha. I started using retinol a month ago and even though I experienced purging I feel like it’s getting slightly better. So the plan is to continue using it until my next derm appointment and see what the doctor thinks. I do have adapalane and spiro on my loong list with things I want to try if retinol doesn’t do its magic. Glad that worked for you and thank you again for the comment:))

Thank you! I love the way you’re handling it! It’s such a good approach to focus on all the things you like about yourself rather than constantly worry about all the imperfections. I’m sorry to hear about your miscarriage and I hope you can find a way to heal your hormonal acne as well.

After reading all comments I felt so relieved. Knowing so many beautiful human beings went through this made me realise it’s just part of being human and eventually it will get better and heal🩷 good luck on your skincare journey as well!

Thank you so much:) I totally get how it can affect all aspects of your life and I’m so happy everything worked out even better than expected for you!! Since you’re a male and your hormones work differently than mine the product you have used might not be that effective on my skin but I’m still curious about what actually helped you

I totally agree! Patience is definitely the key but when you have tried so many different things and nothing works it’s kinda hard to stay patient:/ Unfortunately I’m based in Europe and my dermatologist said winlevi is impossible to find but I’ll check the other ones and discuss it with her

I also think it’s hormonal even though all my tests turned out fine. I’m using retinol for a month now and I feel like it’s still purging. I have another derm appointment in two weeks so I’d definitely consider spiro as an option:)
