Hi, I'm a Mexican female. My acne is pretty low, but it used to be a little moderate. I once used a hair removal cream for the face, and it made me breakout in my cheeks(it never happened b4). For about 6 months, I went w/my dermatologist, & began washing my face every morning with Benzoyl Peroxide (10%), dabbing on Clindamycin Phospate Topical Solution (1%) 2x a day on red bumps, and Retin-a cream (0.05%) every night.
