Pretty much the title

Got a lot of acne around my mouth and want to get rid of it I tried a lot of stuff, even got some antibiotics perscribed twice, but nothing seemed to make a substantial difference.

Also, please don’t tell me i have to change my eating habits, im on a strict diet of goth mommy milk and chocolate granola.

    You will go through natural hormonal cycles in your life that will kick up with things like diet and hygiene but unfortunately hormones will rule all.

    That said, cutting down on sugar and milk helped for me (PCOS so hormonal-driven acne)

    Otherwise just keep your face clean, moisturize, try ro get some sun (within reason, dont give yourself melanoma). Exfoliate every once in a while for dead skin, change your sheets/pillowcases/towels often and keep them clean.

    I have a lot of success using cerave products in Canada for dry skin, but skincare is massive now and the world is your oyster. The Ordinary has something for basically everything now.

    Also keep in mind depending on facial hair you could be seeing ingrowns from bad shaving technique (against the grain, not enough glide, etc)
