I had a lot of acne when I was younger, but it's mostly cleared up now. However, I still have a large number of noticeable pores on my face. Are they large pores or acne scars or acne marks? I also have red scars left, I've been through this for so long and I still don't really know my scar types. Do you have any tips to reduce them?

Thanks!

Azelaic acid and salicylic acid will help. What's your regimen at this point?

Shallow scars like icepicks or textural or boxcars. I saw one case where lim treated things like this with laser but honestly it's so hit or miss and it's super important to get the right laser. Like, maybe an erbium resurfacing that focuses on the top laser to blend rather than deeper fractional. I would test anything you try. I mean, anything from needling to laser I would investigate.
