Hi guys,

New user, 2nd post! Feels weird taking about acne on a forum!

Anyway I never had issues with acne but broke out badly about a year and a half ago with cysts, so big and sore at the time. Anyway I ignored the problem for months and then didn't take care out in the sun it got much worse. I started concealing it which for an Irish guy it's hugely embarrassing.

Anyway I've been reading about going to a derma and I've a great one locally, short waiting time. I'm on the dermapen treatment since October and on my last session next week. its been brilliant, my forehead is getting much smoother,never texture and I have one indented slight scarring left which I'm not too bothered about.

I've also been using Cetaphil cleanser and moisturizer. I used to have a rash around my nose area too which is clearing with cream and a few dabs of Supercharged Triple Rose Hip Oil.

Moral of the story is seek medical advice and pay the bucks to get a more even skin tone and stay out of the sun. Drink 2-3 litres of water, exercise regularly maybe 3-4 times a week and eat clean. I'm not bought on over cleansing the skin but use the Rose hip oil. It really lightens the skin and evens it out and I've only used it for a week!
