one day my face looks like the marks are fading then other days they look awful!! I wear clinique acne solutions foundation and concealer everyday no matter what, some days I dont even wanna get out of bed or see my boyfriend.

I also have blackheads on my nose and cheek and its so annoying anything i can do for them?


Why do you have to get marks? acne was bad enough these marks are worse they last for months and the makeup doesnt completelty cover them you can tell i have dark spots on my face!!

i'm in the same position :/ there's nothing you can do but wait. most of my marks fade after 3 months or so, even if i don't do anything. just make sure you don't create new ones by popping.

I know how you feel. 4+ years and they still haven't gone anywhere.

Yeah, I tried a few things including retin-a, lemon, tumeric powder and manuka honey but it was all in vain. My last option is a TCA peel from a derm. BP extended the life of my marks 3 fold :/. Yours will go in time though, just have to prevent more acne causing further problems

I use bp and it keeps the acne away it just makes the marks darker but if I don't use it I break out. This is so frustrating. I am getting a chemical peel done next week at the derm

Have they gotten lighter at least or are they still as dark as they first were?

In some areas, they've lightened slightly, but other than that there's been no change even after all this time. I'm wondering if I got burned or in some way scarred from BP, because from what people on here say, they should have faded by now. I learnt my lesson though. Lots of people note success with chemical peels, so there are high hopes for you
