Hi,

wanted to share my routine which has removed acne and reduced scarring over the last 5 plus years. Yes it takes time but results are very good. If I can help anyone I will be happy as I know the effect this has on people.

1-clear the spots - ask your doctor to prescribe minocycline. This worked really well for me to clear all the active spots on my face. Please note, worked for me, may not work for everyone.

2-clear the skin - buy obagi nuderm. This is a miracle product and is very intense. It essentially rips all the old horrible skin off and generates new skin over a 8-12 week period. This is very intense and you wont be able to out for a week and sunscreen is mandatory. This was a game changer for me as the minocycline removed the active spots but obagi removed all the blackheads and impurities almost instantly. This is a prescribed product and is expensive.

3- reduce the scarring - I had deep scars from popping spots and thought there was no way to remove the scarring. I came across dermaneedling and Derma rolling. I have done these both for over 5 years now with excellent results. I stamp with a 35 needle derma stamp first over ever scar using 1.5mm needle. Once that is done I then roll in 4 directions 10 times in each directions over the whole face.
I did this every 10 weeks at the begining and now do it 3 times a year as the results have been excellent. I would not do this rolling and stamping more then 5 times a year as the skin needs time to repair itself and that is usually at least 10-12 weeks.

Anyway I hope this has been useful and good luck
