I'm torn between whether to take hot or cold showers to help my acne.

(I have acne scars mostly on my cheeks, along with a few zits from a recent breakout.)

A few people suggested that maybe I should change the temperature that I shower at, as that could be affecting my skin (especially since I took VERY long hot showers).

So for about a week I have been taking short, cold showers, because I heard that it has many benefits for your skin and otherwise. I can see a little bit of improvement but I'm not sure it's the cold showers. (I use CeraVe cleanser for anybody who's wondering, I use the one for oily skin, however my skin is not particularly oily or dry most times)

But along with reading benefits for cold showers, I came across the same for using hot water because it opens your pores.

I'm really confused of which is right for me, but in the meantime I will be taking room temperature showers.
