dude stop wasting money on all this shit and just take accutane

trust me
 
lowk what helped me is korean skincare and also allergy medicine bc it reduces inflammation
 
Based off of your age and history, it's probably hormonal acne. You can reduce it quite heavily, but it only fully clears up later in life (in most people).

It's also possible you're using too much products throughout the day.

I would just keep using the cleansing gel, the moisturizer if you notice your skin keeps drying out, the Benzoyl peroxide is good and then keep the sunscreen. The rest could probably go at your age and based off of the images.
 
Com base na sua idade e histórico, provavelmente é acne hormonal. Você pode reduzi-la bastante, mas ela só desaparece completamente mais tarde na vida (na maioria das pessoas).

Também é possível que você esteja usando muitos produtos ao longo do dia.

Eu continuaria usando o gel de limpeza, o hidratante se você notar que sua pele continua ressecando, o peróxido de benzoíla é bom e, depois, manteria o protetor solar. O resto provavelmente poderia ser substituído dependendo da sua idade e com base nas imagens.
Eu tinha muita acne nas costas e quase 80% desapareceram com antibióticos, meu caso não é para Accutane

I agree with you. I don't think Accutane is necessary in your case.
If antibiotics helped that much then it means your issue is bacterial or fungal acne.
I know Miconazole is used to address fungal acne, but if what you're currently using then there isn't much to change.
If you made any changes, you'd want to talk to your doctor/dermatologist.
 
Concordo com você. Não acho que Accutane seja necessário no seu caso.
Se os antibióticos ajudaram tanto, então seu problema é acne bacteriana ou fúngica.
Eu sei que o Miconazol é usado para tratar acne fúngica, mas se você estiver usando o que usa atualmente, não há muito o que mudar.
Se você fez alguma alteração, converse com seu médico/dermatologista.
Meu medo é que a acne volte depois da limeciclina

I have expression lines at 15 years old. Would retinol be good or is it too early?

It's possible it would. After you stop your current treatment, make sure to use a cleanser every morning and before bed if you feel like you need it. A cleanser will prevent your skin from being an optimal space for it to come back.

I'm assuming if you have a prescription medicine of some kind, that you might have a doctor you're speaking with. It's something you'd want to talk to your doctor about. You could take a mild over the counter retinoid and it should be fine for you. I don't know how it would interact with your current treatment, though.

Should I worry about collagen if I have nasolabial folds and fine lines on my forehead?

It helps, but marginally. I personally wouldn't take it, it's a waste of your money. Topical collagen will not significantly increase collagen production, which is what the desired effect would be. Oral collagen is not much better in that regard.
 
with food and products would be better?
Things high in Vitamin C and antioxidants. It would just prevent the progression, not undo it. If you wanted to reduce the appearance, retinoids could help but microneedling is shown to be more effective. It's a process where they gently poke areas of the skin with micro needles (hence the name) and it would trigger a 'natural' collagen production through the healing process.
 
Produtos ricos em vitamina C e antioxidantes. Isso apenas impediria a progressão, não a reverteria. Se você quisesse reduzir a aparência, retinoides poderiam ajudar, mas o microagulhamento se mostrou mais eficaz. É um processo em que eles cutucam suavemente áreas da pele com microagulhas (daí o nome), o que desencadearia uma produção "natural" de colágeno durante o processo de cicatrização.
I already use vitamin C and it helps a lot. I will follow your advice, thank you.
