Warts on the face are caused by a viral infection and need gentle handling to avoid scarring or skin damage. Avoid using strong over-the-counter treatments as facial skin is sensitive and may get irritated. Treatment may include mild prescription creams or procedures like freezing or removal, depending on the type and size. Do not try to pick or remove them yourself. Consult a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and choose the safest and most effective treatment.

Pores enlarged from popping pimples are often actually small acne scars. To treat them at home, I recommend using a topical retinoid (such as retinol or prescription tretinoin) at night to rebuild collagen and tighten skin. A daily salicylic acid (BHA) serum will keep pores clear, while niacinamide helps improve skin elasticity. Crucially, apply sunscreen daily to prevent UV damage from stretching pores further. Keep in mind that creams have limitations; for deeper scars, dermatological procedures like microneedling, chemical peels, or laser resurfacing are the most effective options. Please consult a dermatologist for a personalized evaluation.

It is advisable to consult a dermatologist before using Anua 10% Niacinamide serum, 4% Tranexamic Acid serum, and Requil Oil-Free Moisturiser together. A doctor can recommend what is safe and effective based on your skin type, existing conditions, and medical needs, as combining active ingredients may sometimes cause irritation or reduce effectiveness.

The Clinique 3-step routine can help control acne and mild dark spots, but for acne scars and deeper pigmentation, you may need more targeted treatment. You can add simple, effective products at home like a retinoid (for skin renewal and scar improvement), salicylic or glycolic acid (to unclog pores and smooth skin), vitamin C (to brighten), and most importantly a daily sunscreen to prevent darkening of spots. For faster and more noticeable results, dermatologists offer advanced treatments such as chemical peels, microneedling, and laser therapy, which help rebuild collagen and improve skin texture and marks. The best results usually come from combining the right skincare with professional treatments, so it is advisable to consult a dermatologist who can choose the most suitable option based on your skin type and scar severity.
