Please help! i have acne, and i want freckles. i put sunscreen on my face and it made my acne spread. what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scientific Rx: I can't promise you freckles (that's you genes), but if you'll use topical benzoyl peroxide 5% 2x/day, it will probably clear you. If not, get with your personal physician for some prescription-strength meds. Best wishes.
