Unless you have severe, widespread, and scarring acne, The Regimen is normally my suggestion for the most effective acne treatment.

Hi does anyone have any advice on how to clear this up? I don't know if it's an acne mark or acne scar?

I started getting cheek acne last January after going off tretinoin cream. I have been back on it for almost a year now but after getting cyst acne I am left with these. I don't know what else to do to clear it up.

That's "PIE", please see the FAQ below for a description of this and solutions.

Try this http://www.idoj.in/article.asp?issn=2229-5178;year=2015;volume=6;issue=2;spage=84;epage=88;aulast=Chandrashekar

I am using a combination of higher concentration of retinoic acid 0.05% and glycolic acid 10% every night gradually leave it for 30 min to overnight. Within a week I notice major improvements to both my PIE and PIH. I am glad that I found this article.

As for moisturiser, I am using vitamin K cream from ebay which consists of phytotonine, aloevera leaf juice,vitamin K and emu oil. I am not sure whether this stuff works or not as there has been mix reviews on this product but my redness definitely subsided and less scar appearance.
