Hello abi16, I’ve suffered with pretty bad acne and spot scarring for years, I tried everything like pro activ, skinetica and many charcoal based face washes, skinetica works for a little while, as does pro activ, however, the one I find works for me is Duac topical ointment that you can get from your Doctor (if you live in the UK, unsure of other countries) or accutane based ointments, your doctor will know what’s best for you or a dermatologist, I hope you find something that’s right for you 🙂

I actually use aloe on my face. It soothes the reddened skin, its antibacterial and it helps the healing process. It’s helped my skin a lot without drying it out or irritating it. I’ve tried tons of acne products and this has helped the most. Perhaps try it on a small area to test if your skin is sensitive to it or not and if all goes well try it out 😊

Hi abi16, I used benzyl peroxide/clyndamycin phospate.I was on Doxycycline atibiotic as well for a month.Cystic acne dried up and was in control.For scars use mederma cream/gel, or almond/olive oil if its not oily skin
