acne scarring
For years your mom yelled at you not to pop your zits, and for years you rolled your eyes and did it anyway. Now, your skin is left with an uneven tone and texture, and you’re kicking yourself for taking all of your adolescent frustrations out on your poor face.
*Just keep in mind, these products can help with discoloration and subtle texture, but, If you're serious about treating deeper acne scars, get a professional involved before you break the bank on "miracle creams".
THE QUICKEST AND MOST EFFECTIVE WAYS TO GET RID OF ACNE SCARRING...
are always going to be professional treatments such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, laser treatments, or microneedling, all of which start with seeing a dermatologist to see what they recommend. Or, if you have some time (we recommend 8 months to a year) before the big day, you can add the products below to your at-home regimen.
*Disclaimer: using a retinoid will make your skin look worse before it gets better! Use a pea sized amount for the entire face, and be cautious or avoid applying around the mouth. Stick with it, hang in there, and moisturize frequently!
Hydroquinone is a skin lightening agent typically prescribed by a dermatologist. While this treatment can work wonders for pigmentation, it won't do anything for texture. Keep in mind it's also not a long term solution - prolonged use can have an adverse effect.
