best medicine for face pimples - #15358

Priya

I am really struggling with these annoying face pimples lately, and it's affecting my confidence big time. Just last week, I had this huge breakout before a family gathering, and I felt super self-conscious the whole time. I've tried some over-the-counter stuff, like salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide, but honestly, I can't see much of a difference. Is there actually a best medicine for face pimples that works for people? I heard that some people swear by topical retinoids, but isn’t that like a prescription thing? My friend said she had great results with some herbal remedies too — I’m wondering if I should give that a shot or if I need something more clinical. My derm recommended a couple of things, but I'm looking for second opinions because I feel like I need to take control of this. What’s the best medicine for face pimples that really can clear things up? I just want to feel good in my skin again, ya know? If anyone has real experiences with different treatments, please share! Any help would be appreciated before I go back to my dermatologist again!
