Acne issues

2021-11-12 18:24:22
My skin type is oily and I have been suffering from acne issues along with acne marks, blackheads, whiteheads, open pores and excess sebum production. I have learnt many online dermatologists that tretinoin with proper usage and care, it can help with all these issues. Kindly suggest the right way to use it to clear my skin and clarify if it can be bought over the counter. Thanks in advance.
