I woke up early today for work hence the paleness, but I have no idea whats going on with my skin. Theres clearly scaring but I dont know whether to use laser or a deep chemical peel for treatment. I exfoliate every day with wash, toner and moisturizer as well as clindoxyl gel for spot treatment. I take vitamins, pretty much all of them and go to the gym regularly, but am still stuck with rough pale oily skin. Any advice would help thanks

I can't really tell how your scars look like from that picture, so it's probably not severe. Maybe a laser would help, depending what your derm says.

Exfoliating every day is probably too much. You don't want to be rough on your skin. Especially with a scrub. My advice would be to never exfoliate physically. If you want to exfoliate, you can use an over-the-counter glycolic acid, but even then, do it max every other day.

Then, make sure you're not smoking (I assume you aren't), and are eating well, particularly with antioxidants (colorful fruits and veg), and omega-3s (I take 5-6 fish oil pills a day myself).

Give that all 3 months and see how things are looking I'd say.

No not a smoker. Looking to eat some more healthier foods, will take your advice on the exfoliating thanks!!
