Need help with identifying what I have? I had a huge breakout a couple years ago and the marks still remain and won't go away. People recommend i try Retin-A but my doctor hasn't told me to get it yet. Can I get anyone's opinion; its been a huge struggle and wont go away!

Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation is what you have. Retin A unclogs pores, you dont seem to have any clogged ones. I'd use an AHA to help fade the marks faster though.

 

Its not bad at all to be honest tho,I wouldn't even worry about it lol

Thanks for the post! Sorry but what does AHA stand for?

 

 

Nvm i just searched it up; would you recommend any brands in particular?

Hey so i am going to purchase the ALPHA HYDROX Enhanced Lotion 10% Glycolic AHA. Before I do, is there anything else I need to buy. Currently I am not using anything on my face except sunscreen. I stopped using lotion and oil cleansers as my face kept feeling a burning sensation when I applied any products that were sensitive. But the AHA is it supposed to be used in conjunction with another product? Let me know thanks!
