acne removal ointment - #14239

Shivansh

I am really at my wits end here with my skin! Like, I’ve battled with acne for ages – it’s like it just won’t quit. Tried everything from face washes to those fancy creams, but nothing seems to stick. Doctors keep pushing antibiotics, but I just don’t want to go that route. A friend mentioned using an acne removal ointment, but I’m kinda skeptical since I tried so many different ones that did nothing. The last one I used made my skin peel, which was just gross. I remember a few weeks ago I had a breakout, and it left these awful scars that just won’t fade. I mean, what’s the point of using an acne removal ointment if it doesn’t actually help with the scars too? Plus, is there a difference between ointments and creams for this? And are there specific ingredients I should be on the lookout for? I wanted to ask if anyone’s actually seen a real improvement from an acne removal ointment, cause I’m seriously running out of options here!! Is there like a holy grail product you guys swear by or should I just keep trying stuff at this point? I feel so lost, ugh!
