Most of my acne has faded, but I'm left with a ton of red flat scars. What does the regimen do to counteract these scars?

I think the AHA will kick their butts!

Agreed with the above posters!! Get some 10% glycolic acid (AHA)!! Dan's AHA+ is the bomb!! My son had a ton of flat red marks on his forehead, now they're mostly faded to the point you can hardly tell he even had acne here! :)

Ok I have gotten some AHA, but my questions are as follows,

Can I eventually use the AHA in place of moisturizer every night, or should it always be limited to every 2-3 days?

Is 2 pumps of AHA optimal for the nightly moisturizer?

Which is better, 1/2 Moisturizer and 1/2 AHA mixture every night, or AHA replacing the moisturizer?

If I mix the moisturizer and AHA, should I use 1 pump of each?

Thanks in advanced

In my personal experience, I began using it every night in combination with the moisturizer to get rid of post-acne marks. I would use 1 pump of moisturizer and 1 pump of AHA+ (once I began using less BP, this amount lessened as my face was not as dry) just about every night. It turned out to be a great way to hurry up the process of getting those marks away.
Be careful while in the sun. AHA+ can cause SERIOUS sunburn, learned that the hard way. If you know you are going to be in the sun the next day I would steer clear of using AHA+ the night before. Same with BP.

No doubt AHA+ does wonders, it leaves my skin looking supple and soft the next morning. Just don't overdo it.

Tip: If you have a pimple, dab some AHA on there and go to bed. Repeat until that sucker is gone. It won't last for more than a few days, guaranteed.

All great advice, QQ!!!! I agree, one pump of each used every night is the way to go to clear PIH. 

Bonevisage: I'd recommend starting a little slower the first few applications. Try just half a pump of AHA+ mixed with a pump and a half of moisturizer and see how your skin reacts. You may experience some stinging and redness initially. As your skin gets used to AHA+, you can ramp up the amount.

Go get 'em! :)
