Bio-Oil and Sudocrem seem to be two things that people are raving about. Figure I'm going to try one of them unless someone recommends something else. Which of the two would you recommend? Currently I'm using BP (Duac) and Tazorac. I think I'm going to cut out the BP but stick with the Tazorac. Can I apply these (Tazorac and BO/Sudo) at the same time or should I use at different times of the day? Currently just use Tazorac at night but could move it to the morning and use the other I choose at night (heard Sudo is thick, haven't heard how BO is).

Personally I've found that, while Bio-oil does help stretch marks, it hasn't been very helpful with my red marks from old acne. You could try it because people react in different ways to various products. The majority of people who have used bio-oil rave about it, and i dont doubt their claims, but for me personally I broke out in little spots when i applied it to my face.

It's quite difficult to know what to try in helping my red marks fade. I live in the UK and haven't heard of hardly any of these products that people are recommending on this thread. Having said that though, I have found some jojoba oil on amazon and I might try that next.

I have two things i use for red marks:

1) scarzone w. salicylic acid and green tea
2) vitamin e scar treatment with onion bulb extract

The scarzone i use when i'm worried that the pimple isn't done being a pimple. When there's just a mark left i use the vitamin e stuff, and if you use it twice a day (it recommends 4) you should see a difference eventually. It takes a long time though. But i was always under the impression that vitamin e is one of the best things for healing your skin.

i've been using Bio Oil for about 4-5 months now.

Positive : $$, hasnt made me break out, smoothened the skin. (dont know its time or bio oil though).

Negative: no help with hyperpigmentation, very oily.

After seeing all the positive reviews for the PureDeming Intense gel I have picked some up. Do people who have used it have any suggestions for use, especially in assocaition with BP? I was thinking about putting the gel on for an hour at night, then showering, and then applying my BP, does that sound reasonable?

Also, I have purchased the toner by PureDeming, which contains ACV, Tea Tree Oil, and Makuna Honey (or however it's spelled). Has anybody used it before? Thoughts? Reviews?

Any help would be great! Thanks!

Has anyone tried Clean & Clear Mark Treatment? It is 2% SA with Alpha Hydroxy Acid. I just bought it today (before I was using Scarzone with Green Tea Extract), because I've heard Alpha Hydroxy can be good for red marks.

Any experiences? Thanks!

Can anyone recommend any brand name versions of these products, or products that would be available at a drug store or something? Ordering online is a total pain...

I know that EVOO is used by some to help fade red marks, but I was wondering what exactly in it helps with that process?

Is anyone out there still using Puredeming Intense Gel for their post inflammatory hyperpigmentation?

The posts are from a few years back and I was wondering if anyone found any success in using it. Also, in addition to adding it to the Regimen, do you add it on before or after? Any information would be fabulous!

Yes I am looking for the same advice

[battlingwithacne]

so i just went to my dermatologist today to ask whether i can get prescription for retin-a to help my red mark fade faster and he explained to me that what i was going through isnt hyperpigmentation but swollen blood vessel and that it would heal in time. the only procedure that can help is special laser treatment treating blood vessel.

meladerm or any skin lightener works on hyperpigmentation not to me and i just bought this expensive 70$ meladerm yesterday

he also said that going sun tanning is okay too twice-3 times a week to help disguise the red mark because i have pale skin and red marks are very visible to me.

however from what ive been reading its the total opposite since everybody is against tanning for red marks as they say it can become darker and harder to fade.

please advise tanning/no tanning?

Just wondering if anyone can help...

I've finally gotten rid of my acne but am left with red marks on my cheeks and forehead. Some marks have been there for years. I've had 4 skin needling treatments and it did nothing for my scars!

Any good/recommended products that actually work in reducing the redness? I hate having to go out with foundation all the time! The marks make me feel soo self conscious.

Does lemon juice help with red marks like applying on face?
How about lime juice?
Or is it better to drink it?

[RiceKitty]

Best I've used so far is manuka honey (smear some on a bandage and stick it on youre red mark overnight). After a week or so Ive seen a gradual but sugnificant difference. I really want to use vitamine E oil but people say it takes a month to work and I really don't have the time so at the moment I would just stick with manuka honey. I have a pimple at the moment that looks like its going to scar with a black mark so I'm going to get soma my vitamine E oil and rub it in before bed. Fingers crossed my already destroyed face likes the oil and honey!

Hi guys,

I completely sympathies with people with scars... but don't let the reflection of a mirror fool you. Glass is the best reflective surface to see the true depth of scars.

I have had and still have some red marks and scars. For at least 2-3 months I have been using Rose Hip Oil, I have seen noticeable improvement the red marks are fading and my skin is starting to look smooth. It does take a lot of time and patients, it is not an over night miracle.

It may help to wash the face with just warm water and dry by patting the face down with a clean dry towel use a cotton ball to apply the Rose Hip Oil. Use this method 1x morning and 1x evening and wash the face with warm water sometime during the afternoon, this will get rid of any dirt and excess oil.

Hope this helps.
