I’m a teen that suffers from mile acne on both my face and my upper back. What works better, over-the- counter or holistic products?
My mother has gotten very herbal and holistic this past year, and believes in all these crack-pot things like the world is ending and “the secret” and has been watching youtube videos posted by people who obviously suffer from paranoia and other mental disorders. She used to be someone I trusted in regard to opinions, but with her current lifestyle i really can’t put my faith in her. I used to use Retin A for clearing acne and prevention, it worked but i haven’t used it in 6 month or so and well now acne has invaded my face. 6 month ago when I ran out, my mother told me to use these remedies, some very holistic stuff, and even though I was unsure, I trusted her and took it, I’ve been using it and it has really no effect. I really no longer have faith in her and she won’t allow me to even buy myself acne cream because she believes it is poisonous to my skin. Please help me. I’ve become very self conscious and I stopped swimming because if my back acne I’m receiving low grades in gym because I can’t change in the locker rooms and always come unprepared.
