Hi,

 

Would it make sense to use 10% Glycolic acid, Vitamin C formula and retinol formula in conjunction with eachother to specifically fade/remove PIH or red discolored marks?

It would fade PIH, but not red marks

Yep laser is one of the few treatments for acne red marks, besides time. Reason being is cause melanin isn't the cause of the mark in PIE (red marks). As for PIH, melanin production can be stopped and glycolic acid will quickly strip the skin cells containing the excess melanin at a faster rate than regular skin desquamation would do otherwise
