I was on here a few months ago telling people how I got rid of my acne, not sure if anyone tried my approach but I hope it worked for someone. Hope someone gives what i say a go today.
The solution: don't let hot water touch your face. Ever.
Since I've switched to only letting cold water on my face my acne has vanished. Simple as that. Give it a go.
Any questions, just ask.

I wouldn't say so. But it does feel tight and looks reddish. I always wake up with great skin - not oily, calm and smooth. By the evening it's patchy and
greasy, which makes me think it's diet-related and there's a malabsorbtion of some kind. It couldn't hurt to switch to cold water, though! I have a suspicion that clogged pores/whiteheads are due to something external. I'll let you know how it works for me.

This. I wake up with beautiful skin and my hyperpigmentation seems to have vanished overnight. But for me, a few hours after my morning shower my face becomes greasy and the hyperpigmentation is back. Maybe it has to do with the shower but I don't use hot water, I use lukewarm.
