About Acne & Acne Scar Treatment
My Real Take on Acne
Acne is frustrating, but I don’t believe in quick fixes or blindly copying Western skincare trends that just don’t suit our Indian weather. My method is all about understanding why your skin acts up and then using targeted, proven treatments for both the pimples and the stubborn marks they leave behind.
Tackling Painful, Active Acne
- For those angry, stubborn pimples, I rely on combos like benzoyl peroxide with adapalene, or clindamycin with tretinoin.
- Timing matters: these go on at night only, using the tiniest dab – never spread over healthy skin.
- Toothpick application is my jugaad (clever trick), so you hit just the spot, not the whole face.
- Benzoyl peroxide can irritate, especially for lighter skin, so I always set strict time limits.
- You’ll see pain and swelling drop in a couple of days, but patience is key.
Skincare Basics for Our Climate
- Heavy, creamy cleansers? Big no. I recommend gel-based or foaming face washes for oily skin.
- Moisturisers should be lightweight – hyaluronic acid or aloe work well.
- Always shake your sunscreen before using so it actually protects you from post-acne pigmentation.
Fading Scars and Blemishes
- For deep, pitted scars, fractional CO2 laser delivers real improvement.
- If you’re bothered by open pores or want firmer skin, microneedling radiofrequency is my go-to.
- Pigmentation from acne? Chemical peels help fade those dark spots.
- I also use advanced options like exosome therapy and salmon DNA for skin repair, depending on what your skin actually needs.
No one-size-fits-all here. Your treatment is built for your skin, your lifestyle, and your goals. I’ll always keep it real: there’s no overnight magic, but with patience, you’ll see results.
