I am dealing with it myself anon. Moisturizing like there was no tomorrow has helped a lot. Take the lotion pill and get a good one with spf included. Your skin will improve by itself but go to a derm

Not recommended.
For pitted scars you are better off doing peels, dermastamping (NOT needling), and the best, laser treatment.

These are your only options to actually fix it. Everything else is expensive cope.

If you do plan on rolling/needling, be sure to use Vit C on the affected areas. There are also studies that speculate that mechanically-induced microtears are possible gateways to tumors because of the higher chance in mutation of damaged live cell dna.

Go to an actual laser dermatologist and get a consultation, they’ll do a far better job through subcision and dermal fillers than whatever over the counter bs people above are touting. Would you rather spend 300+ on dubious internet products that have middling results or a couple appointments with an actual professional who knows what to actually do.
No amount of smelly goop or needles can even come close.

Lasers are often not enough, one of the most effective means of scar revision is surgical subcision which doesn’t even involve lasers. The same way you run into good and bad general practitioners you need to shop around for an effective dermo with a good track record.

It's 6 bucks to buy one, free shipping and medically valid they do it in office now. Fucking faggots thinking dermas are free. Yeah if you have $6000+ sitting around for skincare go get a surgery. Insurance isn't paying for that.

Your insurance isn't paying it either, it's all out of pocket.

So I have this as well and a lot of it went away or at least because much more clearer from the following... microneedling, glycolic acid, tea tree oil and then I would put coconut moisturizer, i'd say around 30% of it has gone away in 6 months, which made me so happy I almost cried because this bothered me for so long and ruined my confidence. I've been a bit lax with it now my routine that is because of how good it looks now, gotta continue it so it goes completely away.

[Anonymous No.15370326]

>>15369063
Tret likely won‘t erase the scars as quickly as dermabrasion, but it will smooth them over with time due to cell turn over, just like how it tends to reverse/smooth wrinkles.

I‘m recommending tret because it‘s very effective at preventing acne and dealing with its aftermath; assuming op still occasionally breaks out. If op is already very confident in their new routine, I‘d recommend dermarolling or microneedling.

[Anonymous No.15370334]

What have you tried for yourself?

[Anonymous No.15370350]

>>15370334
I used dermarolling when I was younger which worked fine, however I switched to tret when my brother (dermatologist) recommended it to me as he believed it‘d do a better job keeping my acne in check + it just generally had many other benefits. By the time I switched the scars were significantly less noticeable, and nowadays they‘re pretty much completely gone.

[Anonymous No.15370364]

>>15370350
Could you share your dermarolling experience when you were younger?

How was it done (frequency, needling length, treatment protocol) and when did you notice results? Did you use any serums to boost the collagen rebuilding? Thanks!

[Anonymous No.15370372]

>>15370364
I dermarolled every other day with a 0.25 mm needle. I wasn‘t very bright back then so I mainly used manuka honey after needling since that was the only acne product I had used at the time that was effective and didn‘t dry out my skin - although I guess that goes to show that you‘re likely going to have even better results than I did if you use serums/proper aftercare.
To be honest I wasn‘t keeping track of time, although my best guess would be one or two months after starting, since by then I also started breaking out significantly less because of the treatment.

Hope thats helps!

I use 0,05% tretinoin creme in the evening and Duac gel containing 1% clindamycin and 5% benzoylperoxide in the morning.

[Anonymous No.15372945]

If they‘re new to tret, they might be getting some effects faster by switching, they could also consider the benefits worth the extra money (which, to be fair, there isn‘t a massive price difference between 0.1 and 0.05). Imo whether you upgrade or not is up to preference, and 0.05 has been enough for me.

[Anonymous No.15372951]

Also, one thing I forgot about is that higher doses of tret can be useful if you have severe acne, which would explain why the other anon might be upgrading.
My acne ranged from mild to moderate, so 0.05 was enough for me.

[Anonymous No.15372973]

>>15372951
Honestly I‘ve never used 0.1% tretinoin so I‘m not sure how big of a difference it‘d make, but chances are higher percentages would speed it up.

Seeing a dermatologist might be a good idea, especially since I‘d assume most of your scarring would be almost gone after 13 months (depending on how deep they are + if you‘re creating new scars).

0.05% tretinoin (I also used adapalene for a few months and a month supply of Curology that had 0.009% tret) gave me real results for the pitted scars on my temples. I'm also on month 4 of Accutane. Point is retinoids alone can put in work and can be done when you're not doing procedures, if you can't afford those pricey procedures, or if they scare you.

>>15372951
Yes

>>15373114
You can't even do anything right now really for the scars because you have active acne. You can do some chemical peels, but I don't see the point until you treat the active acne for good. Get on Accutane and then treat the scars with procedures, and get on tret for maintenance and scar improvement. If you can't afford a derm or Accutane, then get tret 0.05% and hope for the best lol

[Anonymous No.15373575]

You still seem to have some active pimples, you need to work on them before treating scars. Thankfully retinoids can do kind of both at same time so take the advice and use the lowest strength one. And shave.

Based poster. Your posts are very informative to the new people with acne scars who aren't on tretinoin yet.

I do however disagree on >>15371901, from my personal experience 0,1% works better. I've also heard this from multiple people from r/tretinoin, which is an okay subreddit I suppose, but great if you want to see what kind of powerful improvements tretinoin can make. Alot of people post their faces and before/after comparisons. It can show the power it has for treating acne skins so for new people I recommend reading >>15377573 and then checking r/tretinoin to see what you can expect.

They are doctors who are highly specialized, so it is usually expensive to see one. Beyond that they aren't trying to rip you off, they have an extremely high salary so why would they?

I've had the scars maybe since I was in grade 10 so 15, i'm 19 now. The microneedling I did at home yes, i didn't have a set time to do it but usually I did it once every 3 days was about normal, then I would put the glycolic acid immediately after which would burn my skin like hell which is what I was looking for. Use a Microneedler stamp, the rollers really fucking suck, make sure you really puncture the affected areas, you are damaging your skin (the acne scars) for new cells to regenerate then chemical exfoliant gylcolic acid that dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to be wiped away easily, revealing smooth, new skin below. The tea tree oil is more anecdotal, supposedly makes acne scars away which I believe in but has lack of scientific evidence, what it does do is stop new breakouts which is essential whilst you do all this treatment, I use coconut moisturizer because it smells nice and you should put it on everyday at night and morning because keeps your skin smooth, brighter and healthier, hope this helps! Cheers.

Oh also stop jerking off, it fucks with your hormones and creates breakouts, so that means no porn and touching your dick, also coincidentally healthier for your brain, don't eat garbage food as well, I ate a lot of protein and greens. Protein is very important for new skin.

Why is skincare so fucking complicated?
Is the lack of science related to self care beauty products being a female thing?
I tested some cleanser from my sister and my face was dry and slapping red for hours!
How can a product DESIGNED for the face be so shitty and irritating? Do they just do whatever in these product design laboratories and people buy it up until the next new thing comes out?
And when you just go for the supposed "good"products they cost 30 bucks and give 15ml of product... What is this nonsense?
Isn't there just some products that are proven to work that doesn't cost a fortune?
I simply need a tub of facial cleanser that doesn't burn the eyes to wash all the sunscreen off in the summer and maybe som hydration skin lotion that feels soothing and not burning.
Can someone spoonfeed me or do I have to just buy and try thousands of products like all the consooming females do?

>How can a product DESIGNED for the face be so shitty and irritating?
Your reaction isn't normal and you may have sensitive skin or a sensitivity to one or more of the ingredients. It's possible your sister's cleanser is also just shitty, there are plenty of shitty skincare products like there are shitty products in every retail category.
>Isn't there just some products that are proven to work that doesn't cost a fortune?
Cerave, Cetaphil, Eucerin, Vanicream, The Ordinary
>Can someone spoonfeed me or do I have to just buy and try thousands of products like all the consooming females do?
Normally I would recommend learning how to identify well-sourced information yourself. You should stick to respected dermatologist recommendations, and articles that are backed-up by at least a few peer-reviewed studies.

Look what I just got in the mail. It's from alldaychemist.com (no prescription needed). It took 2 weeks or something, so apparently the corona delay isn't that much anymore.

I've been using the 0,05% creme for 3 months exactly now and I will be upgrading to this gel slowly in the coming month. I read that some people don't like this gel so much because it contains alot of alcohol. But we'll see about that I suppose. If anyone has used this specific 0,1% gel before, I am curious to what your experiences are. I'm excited to upgrade to 0,1%. I don't really care about a bit more alcohol. The creme I am using right now also contains a fair amount of alcohol.

My acne scars have faded very, very significantly in the last three months of using the 0,05% creme by the way, I'm very happy about that. They went from very visible to barely visible. I feel alot more confident now.

I used A-Ret gel 0.05% from ADC for 1 year and 4 months (daily application). Results were great. Got rid of all my acne but the red marks and pitted scars were still there.

Recently upgraded to A-Ret gel 0.1% when I got my ADC delivery last week. This formulation smells like gasoline and hits your face like a brick. It is SO STRONG.

Just 1 week on it feels like the effect of MONTHS on 0.05%. I have almost one and a half years worth of retinization but I still had to take a day off in between uses. However, I've only been on it for 1 week so it remains to be seen. But yeah, 0.0.5% is NOTHING compared to 0.1%. I wish I had upgraded earlier instead of sticking to 0.05% for so long.

Right now I'm alternating between 0,05% and 0,1% every night. After 3 - 4 weeks I will switch to 0,1% daily.

Wow the 0,1% is really strong, I even feel like I'm purging a bit from upping the strength. I'm now doing 0,1% then 0,2% two nights then 0,1% again et cetera. It will take a long time to get used to I think but the results are also stronger, I can just notice the stronger retinization every morning after using 0,1%.

>>15405996

Hi, I'm sorry for responding a bit late. In my experience tretinoin helps with both red marks and pitted scars. It does work a bit better for red marks than for pitted scars I think. But if you want to see alot of before/after pics with regards to tretinoin results, check /r/tretinoin.

I think if you don't have active acne and ONLY have pitted scars left, dermarolling at home (cheap) or professional dermarolling (€150 - 200 per session) would be more effective than using tretinoin. You can't do both at the same time by the way.

Goodluck!
