I've had texture and closed comedones all of my adult life that wouldn't bugde no matter what I did so I thought it was normal until I added a retinoid, Azelaic acid and sunscreen to my routine and in 3 months i rediscovered the skin i had given up on ! A lot of Dermatologists swear by this holy Trifecta for acne and its what they have been quietly prescribing for decades before these went mega viral on tiktok. I break down WHY YOU NEED THESE PRODUCTS ON THE LIST. my whole routine literally revolves around these and i refuse to fix what's broken by adding other stuff my skin doesn't need. While Tretinoin is the gold standard it is often harsh for first time users so i recommend you begin with Differin !
