Texture (closed comedones)

2025-08-25 17:41:09
Hello sir/ma'am My skin especially on the cheeks and forehead have closed comedones which turn into acne (not all but some) I am using a proper Skincare routine including a retinol serum but they are really stubborn and new comedones do form. Is it better to use Tretenoin or adapalene ? Thank you

I advise you to consult a dermatologist online or in person, share clear pictures, and get a personalized treatment plan. Only after proper evaluation can the right medicines (creams/tablets) be prescribed
