f you are having pimples with marks at this age, I would suggest you undergo complete hormonal evaluation including personal examination and investigations to rule out any underlying disease. you should use non-comedogenic moisturizer to prevent dry skin. however, with your current history, it seems you may have associated dandruff which is causing this kind of sensitive, dry, acne-prone skin. If nothing suits you, you can go ahead with dermalinfusion therapy, microneedle rf along with carbon peel to keep your skin flawless.
