ive had the same red marks from acne for 6 years now so is there anything i can do apart from the clinic treatments? ive tried elicina but it doesnt seem to do much and ive just started b5 in hope that the red marks can heal with less oil!

could peelers help? if so what type should i use? and were can i buy them?

also could that ederma onion cream help?

here are some interesting (yet lengthy) threads on red marks. I'm sure that there are TONS more out there:

yes, it is a peel. I'm about to give it a shot for my acne scar redness as well. Expect it to arrive in the next few days.

It seems that TCA complex is getting rid of my red marks.

that is excellent news.

However, r u sure the peeling/dryness of the skin doesn't just make it appear less red???

Why do u feel TCA complex is better than any other peel? How long did it take for u to see results.

thanks. I'll be starting TCA complex too in the next few days.

Well, i just dun know why it shrunks scars better than 20% TCA as well as 100% TCA. Its concentration is way below 10% , but it works more effective than them. YOU WILL GET INSTANT RESULT AS SOON AS YOUR SKIN PEELS OFF ! i am not the only who find it working . READ THROUGH THE FORUM ! I am a post accutane taker , and as a result of that , it should be much more difficult for my scars to heal up in comparison with any non accutane takers. There is no way for me to explain this . I asked Julie about it , and she says there are special boosters in TCA complex that work as a supplement to shrunk your scars . She will not disclose the formula to me .. one thing i must admit it is such a temptation to pick your skin when it is not ready to peel off. I did it ,and now my skin is VERY irritated. It is getting better though. If you dun pick them and let them there for 3 days , you will be TOTALLY FINE FOR SURE! I didn't get irritation in my first 2 peels. PPL here are really conservative .. Julie says it is ok to use it on a weekly basis . As soon as your skin peels off , hold on for 2 to 3 days , do it again . Just dun let me stop ! There is one thing Julie is going to sell it out later. It is 20% HYDROQUOINE ! yes! U need a prescription for 4% and above and HERS is 20% hydroquoine . I got it from her in the mail( she lives an hour drive from me , so i received the mail on the same day she sent it out ) . I tried it , and it just whitened my skin instantly! I will keep you guys updated if her 20% hydroquoine works well on acnes, freckles or scars. She will also put her PURE Asorbic acid on her web site very soon .It is 75% concentrated ! I did a little researh on that , too. While all companies are selling 10 to 20% asorbic acid , hers is way above any of them. I am not sure if it is effective though.. I also received a sample cream from her . It is called amazing day cream .I will see whether it is THAT AMAZING. Umm.. For those of you who wish to save up some money on scar treatments, TCA complex is what we should go for . I am going to try the liver/ gall bladder flush after 2 weeks . I hope it works , too. I am trying to look for sea salt online right now.. TCA complex works with the FLUSH = PREFECT COMBINATIOIN !

sea salt is sea salt wherever you get it. It's at Safeway and it's dirt cheap. I honestly can't understand why so many people buy so many readily available products over the internet when it's a 10 min drive to your house. Don't mean to yell at you but you'll save tons of money if you just look around your city for stuff. Most of it's available there(not the peels but just about everything else).

dcychanhk2, i have some hyperpigmentation on my neck area from razor burns.. i think. They are not going at all, and there is a little redness there as well. Been there for over 2 years. I have light asian skin, but a strip of hyperpigmented skin on the neck, like a band.

Do u know whether hydroquinone is good for that??????????

what about kojic acid????

i hear these are good, but has anyone had personal success for hyperpigmentation??

Tell you what never PICK the scabs when they are not ready. If u do , u will end up real bad like me . Yes! It works real good on scars , hypigmentation . Maybe not freckles though ! It works good on my redness from accutane , 20% TCA . umm . instead of doubting about its effectiveness, i think it's a better idea to ask for samples . U have never to lose , right? if u find it working on you , then order one . I dun want to sound like i am promoting for her.. but now i am getting real upset and might go for suicide .. B/c of picking my skin ... I was left with an indented hole.. So i am not in a good mood right now .. sad.gif

I'm not sure she'll send samples to the UK, you'll have to email her. But if you buy, that's a different thing.
