Read more about our Product Review Guidelines here. When I turned 25, I started dealing with breakouts for the very first time.

VI Peel Review For Acne and Dark Spots: See Photos
PS Photography | Michele RossPS Photography | Michele Ross Over the years, I’ve left virtually no stone unturned in my quest for clear, even, and glowing skin.

The first time I ever got wind of the SkinMedica TNS Ceramide Treatment Cream ($72), I was scrolling TikTok late at night with a huge cluster of acne on the right side of my face. What immediately got my attention was user Blake Evin talking about how she had been using “circumcisions” on her face every day for a year, and she “swore” it cured her acne.…

My Experience With the Acne Mark Treatment The V-Beam procedure itself is fast — I was done in 10 minutes. After the laser warmed up, Dr. Zeichner made sure my skin was free of makeup and dirt before instructing me to put on protective eyeglasses (just to block the light beam).

There’s no downtime or discomfort that lingers, although Dr. Zeichner explains that some people may experience slight bruising or swelling. “In…
