Is this fungal acne? Just moderate acne? Closed Comedones?

Whenever I touch my face, I feel so MANY tiny bumps eveywhere, specially on my jawline, forehead, and chin. It does get itchy sometimes but I always thought it was due to heat since I live in a tropical country. I just started researching about skin care and I didn't even know that there are different types of acne. Does anyone know what type of acne I have?

Interesting. This is the second recent post that looks like it could be cosmetic induced acne. It can take months to show up after you've been using makeup that your skin doesn't like. Have you been using makeup?

If it's not that, it could simply be acne, in which case The Regimen should clear it up, and actually clear it fast since it's so light.

Hii, I went to a dermatologist and she said it was comedones. She gave me a routine similar to The Regimen, she also recommended Benzoyl Peroxide however unlike The Regimen, the routine she gave me is cleanser-moisturizer-benzoyl. Should I follow my dermatologist or the Regimen? Or maybe the order doesn't matter?

I can't override a doctor's advice. However, I can relate my own experience with myself and thousands of people, which is that the steps of The Regimen work exactly as outlined. If you don't clear up doing it your doctor's way, you can always try it the way The Regimen recommends.

Please keep us posted. I'm really curious about this, particularly because it's non-inflamed (comedones).
