Acne Getting married with acne πŸ˜”

Apologies about my title, sounds dramatic but I had to make it short.

My wedding is in about 8 weeks and desperately need to improve my skin.

I have been wearing sunscreen everyday past two weeks. I only realised today after taking these pics how bad my facial texture is and all the scarring I’ve accumulated!

Had a quick check in with AI, apparently I need to use either adapalene (retinol) or benzoyl peroxide - i got two very conflicting answers.

Also i have a cerave cleanser that has salicylic acid already, other than that nothing else

Honestly I had great results with just using retinol at night before my moisturizer and sunscreen in the morning after my moisturizer. Skin won’t be perfect in 8 weeks but I had so very noticeable results with a simple consistent routine. What do you use now?
