How best to treat melasma and active acne at age 45? (photos)

December 30, 2021

I have active acne since 9 years of age. In my 20's, I did one round of Accutane. It did decrease the cystic acne. My skin is an oily combo. There is scarring from acne. I do Retina daily on my skin. Do hydroquinine over the counter 2% (did 4% with dermatologist two years ago). Priority is to reduce active acne, then melasma and finally improve my skin texture. Medical advice? Thanks in advance!
