Are you certain about the satisfaction with the acne treatment?

My condition is at its worst, so my skin is in its worst state. I never even had breakouts during my teenage years, but suddenly my entire face started getting covered in them. Now, new ones are popping up faster than the old ones are subsiding. I tried my best to control the inflammation at home, but it seems I only irritated it, as the redness just got worse. I'm looking into acne treatments rather than oral medication, but I'm confused because there are so many options, from extractions to scaling. I'm worried that my skin might just break out if I get treated while I'm in a sensitive state. Are acne treatments really effective? I'm curious to know which skincare routine you found most effective for breaking the cycle of recurring inflammation. How much pain and how long does the recovery period usually take? I'm sick and tired of covering them up with concealer. I really want to get rid of this acne with a treatment.
