Hello everyone. Im new here..... Im 25 and im really trying to repair my skin. I didn't have bad acne at all as a teen.... Kust some pimples here and there. But around age 19 or 20 i had the worst breakout ever which lasted a few months and was hormonal, but since then, i have scars. I also cant figure what are the red spots? My face is always red and all the red spots are UNDER the skin and i cant get rid of them. I just started using a lot of face creams and things..... But what should i reallyyyyyyyyy be doing to help heal my skin? All the dermatologist tells me is use retin-a which feels like it just makes my skin worse.

I have..... But all they give me is retin-a...... I have never used it cpnsistently for more than a month. But im trying again. What will work to get rid of redness???? It doesnt go away! A few pimples come and go but redness stays.

What % retin a are you using and how often? Start slowly like every third day with a low dose if you can.Are you wearing sunscreen everyday? You could also look into chemical peels like glycolic or lactic acid, just be sure you are safe if you pursue this at home. Lasers mightalso be an option, I've seen v beam perfecta mentioned a few times but don't know a great deal about it as I don't really have redness issues.

for redness aha/rha gel + retin a ,alternate days with moisturizer ,, or if u wanna go for treatment v-beam laser .. and about ur scars they are not that bad at all one two session of laser or rf-needling will do significant difference .. and ask ur doc for some meds as creams dont treat the main problem these are just for overskin cleansing ..
