I've been prone to acne from the age of 16 and my skin is very oily and it's in my genes my dad struggled through same. And I've been taking medication for about 3 years(on and off) of a dermatologist who prescribes me benzoyl peroxide and isotoretinion and some antibiotics. And now I've large open pores on my nose and cheeks and my skin is also dull and looks old and wrinkly. My skin makes me insecure, I cannot look at myself in mirror and cannot initante conversation, so please help me regain my skin which I had
