Someone please help me fix my terrible skin!

It’s really getting me down.
I’m mixed race.
I have some acne which is bad enough but I scar very easily and so my face is covered in dark spots from previous spots.
I get a lot of white/yellow headed spots and some very sore red spots too.

It is the scarring that I am most bothered about, I have tried various serums and creams but nothing seems to help them fade.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated - the more affordable the better!

@EnFlique if you haven't already try tea tree oil you can get it in Holland and Barrett.
I had acne as a teenager and it was the only thing that cleared it up.
Before I discovered the tea tree I had been prescribed topical medications which did nothing.
I used to put hot water in my sink and add a few drops of the tea tree oil and using cotton pads would gently wipe over my acne areas. Obviously you don't want to burn yourself but I made sure the water was as hot as I could tolerate. I did this morning and night and didn't use any other products on my face. Tea tree oil is literally the only thing that worked for me. I hope this helps Smile

Have you tried epiduo? Get your go to prescribe it to you. It’s a cream which has benzoyl peroxide and adapalene (differin).
