I'm curious to know, is there any good product i could buy, over the counter or even prescription gel or cream that

heals hyperpigmentation and scars really reallllly fast?

i'm currently on accutane and using retin-a.

but the retin-a doesn't really seem to do much help even in the long run.

i know scars may not even heal at all and i don't really mind as it resemble skin colour

because my skin is really fair and the red marks makes it look terrible in bright lights

any advice?

Well....how long have you been using it? You could try bumping up to a .1%

People swear by .1%

DIET - lots of raw food to speed up healing

I would wait until you're off the Accutane. Accutane and retin a are already exfoliating your skin. If you put anything else on it you could irritate your skin. I would run it through your dermatologist first. Since Accutane and retin a already make you shed your outer layers of skin, the red marks should fade quicker. Once you are off the Accutane for a long enough time, you can look into scar treatments like peels, lasers, dermabrasions, etc

okay, but my dermatologist is the one that prescribe 0.05 and accutane with it.

said that before i sleep, i should put on some retin-a on the pimples or scars.

and this isn't my first accutane, early this year i was off accutane and my skin was fine

but after about 6 month, the acne starts to form and starts to break out again.
