Photos don’t always capture the depth of cystic acne, but as you can see along my jawline and forehead, I was struggling with inflamed breakouts. It might not look that severe in the photos, but my skin barrier was highly compromised. In the third photo, you can see how my face appeared more bloated due to the deep layers of acne beneath the surface.
The first two photos on the left show my skin improving after consistent C.A.T & M.A.T Acne Facials. You can see how much less inflamed my skin was, with the texture starting to smooth out and normalize. The cystic acne was no longer active—it was more about treating the blemishes and managing minor acne pop-ups.
The third photo is a selfie I took in high school after a deep peel. I only had moisturizer and SPF on—no foundation or concealer—just a bit of blush and eyeliner. I was (and still am) obsessed with that skin-glass glow after a peel!
And in the last photo, I was pulling a late night for exams, so my dark circles were definitely showing—but my skin was still healed, and I wasn’t dealing with any cystic breakouts.
