Based on personal experience, my red marks take 7 months up to a year to fade completely. Crazy right? I wish it didn't take that long but from experience it does. By the time the old one fades a new one takes its place. Probably because I bombard my skin with too many irritating products in hopes of finding the miracle cream that will get rid of it in one go

As far as treatment goes, I'm using a leave on AHA lotion (have been for a year +) and just recently added a retinol cream (Alpha Hydrox Resq). The retinol cream is evening my skin tone and making it 'lighter'. Also I have noticed since I started using the cream, my pimples are no longer leaving lasting red marks! The marks I do get are fainter in color and goes away within a week or so. Yesterday, I spot treated my red marks with 18% tca. The skin where my red marks are turned brown and I am guessing it will take 2 more days before it start to peel. I'll try to post a before and after pictures.


Anyway, enough about me. What is everyone currently using to fade their red marks? And is it helping?
