Doctors’ responses

For acne-prone skin and pigmentation issues, it’s crucial to adopt a comprehensive approach that addresses both immediate breakout control and longer-term skin health. It’s understandable that quick results often falter over time. Consistency and a well-rounded routine are key. First, consider revisiting your current skincare regimen. Use a gentle cleanser suited for acne-prone skin—something with salicylic acid can help unclog pores but should be used cautiously to avoid over-drying. Follow up with a non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated without blocking pores. Incorporating a treatment serum with ingredients like niacinamide can help with both acne and dark spots due to its anti-inflammatory and brightening properties. Additionally, consider using a product with azelaic acid or a topical retinoid, both of which have been shown to improve acne and address hyperpigmentation over time. However, these should be introduced gradually to minimize irritation. Sun protection is critical, as UV exposure can worsen acne scars and pigmentation. A broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher applied daily is important, even on cloudy days. Beyond topical treatments, evaluate lifestyle factors. Ensure a balanced diet, rich in antioxidants like fruits and vegetables; this can support skin health. Stay hydrated, manage stress levels, and get enough sleep, as these factors can influence your skin’s appearance. If drugstore options aren’t cutting it, it might be worth consulting with a dermatologist. They can assess your skin in detail and suggest treatments like chemical peels or laser therapy that could more effectively tackle pigmentation. Be sure to discuss all your concerns and current routine, so they can provide personalized advice. If trying new treatments, give them time to work—at least a few weeks, as skin turnover takes time.
