I had worse acne than you at 18

I suggest 2 things. One. Drink more water. 2. If you can look into it and get it. Get retin-a or an over the counter version is this. Screenshot_20240515_005644_Chrome.jpg





Likely this is hormonal acne. This will get better as you approach your 20s. However if you still have issues. Considering altering your diet. Avoid processed garbage as much as possible. Hormonal disruption is common with acne of this type. Just a fair warning. Your acne will likely get worse before it gets better. This is just how it works sometimes. But if you get a topical like what I said. Keep using a none irrating sunscreen. ( a life hack is order a Japanese branded sunscreen on Amazon it's got way better ingredients than most of the in store alternatives and blocks the sun much better and is better for you)


Do not pop your pimps or pick them unless they are about to bust and if yoh do pick them. Use a paper towel and use some alcohol on it so it will dry the acne out and kill the bacteria that is in the puss.

Always keep moisturizing and I suggest this as a general moisturizerScreenshot_20240515_010137_Chrome.jpg


If your acne progresses into this as mine almost did. You gonna have to get legit retin a or get a prescription for a oral called Accutane


It's strong and will nuke the acne but only use this as a last resort Screenshot_20240515_010349_Chrome.jpg

ice, cleanser and moustirizer

omega 3 supplements (or eat fish, wallnuts, ecc...)

sleep on your back

drink plenty of water and stop eating sugar and refined carbohydrates
 
healthy lifestyle: sleep, diet, exercise, sunlight, water
skincare: it says you cleanse your face all the time. but do you moisturize? if you just do cleanser then your face will dry up and in response produce more oils, worsening your skin. you need to put moisturizer on your face immediately after. like allexxs said, ice on your face.

tbh, moisturizer carries hard
