how to decrease acne - #21190

Kavya

I am really struggling with this annoying skin issue lately and need some advice on how to decrease acne. Like, I never had trouble when I was younger, but now my face is just breaking out like crazy! I started noticing these painful red bumps about a few months ago, and no matter what I try, my skin just keeps getting worse. I wash my face twice a day and even switched to a gentler cleanser, but that hasn’t help. I feel like I’ve tried everything from over-the-counter creams to those fancy serums that claim to be great for this. Nothing seems to work. I read somewhere that diet could play a role in how to decrease acne, but honestly, I’m not ready to give up pizza and ice cream. What should I even eat? I went to a dermatologist, and they told me to be patient, which is kinda frustrating since I want clear skin like yesturday! I also heard about certain medications, but I’m scared of side effects. Has anyone found a trick that really works? Just looking for genuine advice on how to decrease acne and regain my confidence without all the side effects!
