So currently, I am on Tazorac and Clindamycin. Before, my face was clear I had minimal break outs and before that I was using Tretinon 0.5 and I stopped. I started using Tazorac 0.05 on February 7th and ever since then, my face hasn't gotten better. It has gotten worse and worse. I am on the verge of giving up. I also just recently started using clindamycin again and I am hoping it will help my face. However, I am still getting breakouts! Ive always been the type of person who takes good care of my skin. Currently due to my acne I have acne scars on the right side of my face and acne scars are currently appearing on the left side of my face. Help?
Whats left on my face is hyper-pigmentation.
This is new to me and its causing me to have very low self esteem.
Before I was also using black soap and sulfate ( prescribed) to wash my face but that didn't help. I also have a dermatologist appointment next week and I am hoping I can get some answers as to what is going on.
I would also hate to wear makeup everyday as this will make my face even worse 🙁
My current regime:
Wash Day and Night with Cetaphil
Tone day and night with witch hazel
Morning apply clindamycin lotion and night apply tazorac
I also moisturize with aveeno daily moisturizer and sometimes coconut oil.
