12 weeks before fully effective but obliterated my cystic acne. if you have less severe acne you can get adapalene 0.1% (differin gel) without a prescription. do some research first of course but this stuff changed the game for me. apply before bed every night and follow up with a moisturizer if necessary. note that some people experience a purge where their acne gets worse before it gets better because the cream works by increasing the rate of cell turnover, so whatever acne is lying latent under your top layer of skin will get pushed to the surface. if it’s not clear, i have a long history of acne problems. hmu if u need more hot tips

a lot of folks are vitamin d deficient and a common symptom of this deficiency is an increased susceptibility to acne!
on top of using tretinoin and simplifying my skincare routine to just washing with water & a gentle cleanser during the evenings, taking vitamin d supplements really helped.
this is definitely not a quick fix (takes at least 3 to 6 months to start seeing any changes– it took around 4 months for me to start seeing improvements with my acne) nor the only root cause to annoying acne in your adult years, but it’s definitely worth implementing taking some vitamin d pills to see if it helps reduce the frequency & intensity of your pimples!

i am not particularly religious but the serenity prayer has always struck me as incredibly sage and powerful. there are variations on the wording but the general idea is:
god grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change what i can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
has gotten me through many tough days
