I have been using epiduo for a few weeks now. It is clearing up my acne but I have a ton of red marks now. I was wondering what to do to speed up the healing process... Would glycolic acid help? Any other recommendations would be appreciated :)

Glycolic acid will help with the hyperpigmentation as it is an chemical exfoliant. I have a glycolic acid facewash that works really well, it gets rid of fine lines and wrinkles too, which acne treatments can cause.

What are you using? A facewash or peel? What percentage?

Remember, your skin will be sensitive after using it so be gentle with your skin.

Good luck

I was thinking about going to the derm or esthetician to get a peel done. I'm just so scared that it will make my face worse! Also, is it okay to if I'm using epiduo before and after the peel?
