How can I treat my acne without having to use too many products or spend too much money?

Question

Since about 3 months, I started to have a lot of acne. My pimples are red, hot, itchy and painful. It seems to be hormonal. I use acne creams that accelerate the process and my pimples disappear but others appear too regularly. At the beginning, I used the tactupompe forte but my skin became too dry. Now I use the effaclar duo acne treatment global action of la roche posay. I use it twice a day

Hello Madam, in order to better advise you, could you tell me which creams you tried, how often and for how long? Thank you for the information, I'm sorry for the delay in my reply, I hadn't seen the notification! If Tactupompe forte dries out the skin too much, it can be applied only once a day or even once every other day. If this doesn't help, discuss it with your pharmacist as he/she may be able to adjust the strength of the product to decrease the concentration and improve tolerance. He/she can also suggest alternatives to your doctor and follow up with you closely. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
