Lili Reinhart has opened up about an issue that affects many people: acne.
The Riverdale star, 27, posted three close-ups of her skin in different lighting outside and inside.
Lili – who went sleeveless at Paris Fashion Week – had her hair pulled back into an updo and appeared to be topless.
‘Since I was 12, I’ve struggled with acne. My skin has suffered consistent breakouts, hyperpigmentation, redness and scarring,’ she captioned the post.
‘I feel impassioned and motivated to find solutions for not only myself, but others who struggle as well. This is my skin now, makeup free… no filter. I can’t wait to share more about what I’ve been working on.’

This isn’t the first time the Look Both Ways star has opened up about her skin. In fact, she considers her Instagram to be a ‘safe space for body positivity and mental health awareness/acceptance.’
In addition to her skin care woes, the Hustlers actress has also opened up about her depression, panic attacks and body dysmorphia.
‘My body dysmorphia has been going crazy because I feel like my arms need to be half the size they are currently?
‘We’ve glamorized these skinny arms that, for most of us, can only be achieved if you’re a literal adolescent,’ she shared on X/Twitter last month.
Reinhart continued: ‘I truly wonder how anyone survives or gets through this life without having severe BD. Maybe it’s a cruel amplified version in combination with my OCD, but damn.
‘The amount of time I’ve wasted thinking about my arms in the last few months is insane,’ she admitted.
‘I wanted to throw my own thoughts out there to let other women know they aren’t alone.’
But Lili doesn’t let any of these things hold her back as she proved last week when she stepped out in a gorgeous blue sleeveless dress despite her ‘average sized arms’ during Paris Fashion Week.

In January of 2022, Lili opened up about her body dysmorphia in a series of Instagram Stories.
‘I know I’m not alone in this toxic way of thinking about my body,’ she said, adding that it was ‘heartbreaking’ to know that so many people feel as she does.
She blamed Hollywood’s obsession with youth, beauty and slim figures for messing with her mind.
‘I didn’t think being in this industry, that is so obsessed with women’s bodies and weights, could ever mess with my own body acceptance and positivity. But it has. I wish I hadn’t grown up in a time where the media worshipped only one size of women.’
