Hi!
I'm a 21 y/o female and I've had terrible acne since I was 12. My acne got especially terrible after a bad run with birth control when I was a sophomore in college. The older picture is from when my skin was at its absolute worst around February/March of 2015...so well over a year ago. The newer picture is from today. My skin has come a LOoooNg way but I still have red marks from where my cheek was incredibly irritated. The picture doesn't show the redness too well because of the lighting in my room (believe me it's there!!) but I've had this scarring (?) for a year now with little to no improvement since July/August 2015. I have a Clarisonic and exfoliate with 10% glycolic acid. Anything else I can do to get rid of these annoying red marks? Thanks all!!

Your skin appears to have healed VERY well. Your scarring is pretty mild. If it really concerns you on a daily basis because of certain lighting conditions then I recommend seeing a dermatologist or two and hearing what they think will improve them.
