Hello All,
I had somewhat moderate to severe acne as a teen, as I™ve grown up I get acne on the rarest of occasions (lucky me). I™m planning on going on a journey and sharing it with you all here. I may even make a video about my recovery from acne scars. I™ve been documenting and taking close up pictures with my macro lens hopefully this will be of value to the community.
As I™m currently disabled I™m unable to go out, so anything outside of home treatment options will be really difficult for me. So far I have gotten PMD Microderm and am planning on getting a glycolic acid chemical peel unless I am given other appropriate options.
I™m planning on starting daily 25mg Zinc tablets. I may also try Revitol Scar Removal Cream which I believe is likely ineffective and most positive reviews online are probably bogus. At least I could add my own two cents and maybe it acts as a perfume free moisturiser which will be useful when using Glycolic Acid not sure?
-// Also thought I should mention in 2009 I had one laser treatment session, I don't believe it was fraxel

I™m planning to purchase Glycolic Acid in the coming days, found some cheap online from a reputable seller. Wanting to try it after exhausting the microderm after about 3 months of weekly use. Thinking of getting œASDM BEVERLY HILLS Glycolic Acid in 10% & 30% strengths and maybe get a higher strength later on. But I believe higher strengths are risky and as you can see in some photos my facial skin seems thin, I tend to get red marks easily although I was able to tolerate Very Coarse Red PMD disk today so unsure.
Does anybody else have any other ideas? or something better for my type of acne scars that I should try instead? I very much appreciate all your time. Thank You!
EDIT: Forgot to ask what type of acne scaring I get? Will help me in my research of appropriate treatments.
You have good skin man im jealous haha start off simple just do tca peels and needling and see what sort of results you get I been doing tca peels on each scar and I recently did it on my biggest rolling scar and I had good improvment so far Ima let it heal and see what its like in a week after I peeled it. Good luck
