I am around 20s old, and I live in Dubai, and my acne has since not only became annoying but also actually interfered with my self-esteem.

So far I've tried:

• Salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide over the counter.
• Instagram brand sets of acne at random.
• Cutting dairy/sugar
• Niacinamide, retinol, etc. on the drugstore.

It works temporarily, then it bursts once more - particularly in the heat/humidity.

You that at last had clear skin:

• Why did you give up DIY and dermatologist?
• What was the actual prescription of the derm (antibiotics, tretinoin, Accutane, peels, etc)?
• Waited before you noticed any improvement?
• Recommendations or recommendations against any clinics or doctors in Dubai/Sharjah?

Secondly, was it worth it compared to years of experimenting with random products? True tales would come in handy. till you do all these medicament so after not going worthy, so after doing treatment with glow aesthetics dermatology clinic.
