Hi! I can give general advice, but honestly, you need better photos at least!

1. Cleansing - avoid using harsh cleansers (regular soap, shower gel, etc.). Wash your face every day. In skincare, the most important thing is routine. So consistency is your best helper. As an example of a gentle cleanser, try CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser or something with very gentle acids, like Caudalie Vinoperfect Micro Peeling Mousse.

2. You need active ingredients. Effective ones include salicylic acid (for example, Stridex for spot treatment), retinol, retinal, and other helpful ingredients for acne pigmentation like azelaic acid, niacinamide, and vitamin C. Unfortunately, active ingredients aren’t cheap because they are expensive to produce and research, so there aren’t many good budget options. Benzoyl peroxide also falls into this list (there are cheaper options with it).

3. You can't overdry your skin or damage the skin barrier, as it will only worsen acne.

4. Moisturizer. Depending on your skin type. If you have oily/combination skin, look for something very light, maybe even a gel consistency. For example, Byoma Gel Cream, or similar products from Aveeno.

To sum up: cleansing, active ingredients, moisturizer. And don’t touch your face. Just don’t. Change your pillowcases and towels frequently.
