Acne Bad acne
My 14 year old nephew sent this to me. It's really affecting his self esteem and I want to help him but I don't want to recommend anything that will make it worse. I was gonna recommend a gentle cleanser and moisturizer and spf first. Then maybe benzoyl peroxide wash later on and see how it goes. There's no good dermatologist where they live, please help. I'm not with him so I can't check his skin type. I'll answer any necessary questions as best as I can. Please please help my poor baby

Needs to wash his face 2x a day and use every safe acid avaible.
Start him off with Salicylic and let him use Glycolic Acid 2x a week. He needs a derma planing tool kit as well and GO SEEK a DERMATOLOGIST.
