I've been struggling with acne and oily skin for years now, and it's gotten to the point where I just really want to have acne-free, glowing skin. I've noticed small holes on my face too. Do you have any advice or treatments that could help with these concerns? I'm feeling pretty frustrated with my skin situation and would love to know if there's something I could try.

For acne and oily skin, you can try using a combination of topical treatments such as benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid-based products. You can also consider using a retinoid cream to help with acne and improve skin texture. Additionally, oral medications like oral antibiotics or isotretinoin may be prescribed by a doctor for severe cases. To improve the appearance of small holes on your face (which may be due to acne scars or enlarged pores), treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser therapy can be beneficial.
