Okay so i just wanted to ask whether exfoliation will help with these scars? I had previously started a thread asking for help with my scars... Here i want to know if exfoliation really works? I mean will the results be permanent? Also which would be the best exfoliator for my scars?
anyone here who has seen massive improvements with exfoliating?
i think 10% glycolic acid lotion works well. i use it almost every night and it does a really good job at exfoliating. srubs can irritate my skin which makes it oily so i dont do them as often anymore. I use neostrata lotion but there are a million different kinds. it also keeps my pores clear more than anything else so i couldnt live without it.

why don't you want to under go any treatment? i don't think rubbing any rice will fix a problem such as this believe me lol and as for exfoliation idk some people say to exfoliate some say it'll make it worse so I'm not sure i tried using retin a and aha/bha which i exfoliates but i think it just made my problem worse made my skin more sensitive and irritated but everyone is different
the reason i said tca cross because I've seen some really good results on this forum as well but take a look at this link i have the similar texture as you and Im eventually gonna get tca cross once i find a trust worthy doctor who has before and after pictures to show me such as these

Obviously I copied and pasted the info.
I do have this face wash, although I don't use it everyday I absolutely love it, it is gentle so you can use this daily. I use this one days I am home and don't wear makeup, this is not good enough to remove makeup since it us quite mild. Smell delicious, one bottle lasts ages, one pump is all you need each wash. You do have to wear SPF 30+ if you're use this as it is a resurfacing face wash.
My other method of light exfoliation is a face towel, this is my main use as I like the idea of it not being harsh. I use a face cloth that is made to exfoliate the skin.
Another thing I like is microdermabrasion it is not very invasive, very quick recovery and if you have someone who knows what they are doing you should get results pretty fast.
Good luck
In tissue physiology, damage area undergo repairing until it hits a certain point. It is safe to say any area that stays the same for about a year would remain the same unless something is done. Those indentations, which you have mentioned that were about a year, would not get any better with simple superficial exfoliation.
