I double cleanse my face and moisturise daily for the past few months but it hasn't really helped with acne/hyper-pigmentation. Seems to be genetic as my siblings have also had issues with skincare in late teens - early 20's. I've never really tried anything to fix it since I didn't care too much and hoped it would get better as I aged.
I want to start trying other over the counter products and treatment options.
Over the next few months I'll try some of the products people suggest if they seem reasonable and will resolve to whichever answer(s) are the most effective.

Also, you can't just take vitamin A pills, they don't work at normal doses. I think beef liver's vitamin A is WAY more bioavailable than the pill form. That's why accutane's doses of vitamin A are so high: you only absorb a small amount. You WILL have to wear sunscreen/a hat more often though as your skin gets more senstivie to light. If you want to go hard & see more results you could eat a whole bag a day.

Are you open to suggestions that require a prescription? Some are extremely easy to get; you just do an app or website and fill out info and "talk" to a "doctor" and they send you ingredients
