Hey guys
I got rid of most of all my acne but now I'm left with plenty of red/purple dots all over my cheeks and red splotches on my face. Anyone know natural ways to get rid of them? I tried everything from lemon, honey, baking soda to tea tree oil and apple cider vinegar but none of it worked. :/ 
Thanks

My estheticiantold me that the red marks on my skin are hyperpigmentation marks that are still healing. She also said it'll take a couple of months to get rid of them, so you might just need time.

I also suffer from acne scaring and my sister recommend for me to try AHA+ (Glycolic Acid)
And since I've used it I've noticed a big difference in my scaring I have little to none
I found it here on acne.org

You need exfoliation. This will help get rid of old skin. Plus use sunblock every time. I used Manuka honey before, but it is more effective for taming the skin, healing redness, and getting rid of bacteria becuase of its antibacterial properties. Lemon didnt work for me. It will make skin thin and can cause rashes. I have used baking soda too, but got tired of waiting fore results. I am currently using product for exfoliation. Since I am having breakouts still, I am into moderate exfoliation. Did it help me? YES. It did.

Well seeing as only a few people interested and you might be thinking im still experimenting something and i am well aware that you dont want to risk your skin.

Anyway, I sincerely hope my idea can help you. So there it goes have you seen anyone use hot water compressed 60-70 degree celcius in cotton cloth and hold onto scars area 1-2minutes? But before this you will need to get the supplement "solgar dry vitamin A tablet form" which contain retinyl palmitate 5000IU and L-ascorbic acid 10mg and crush one tablet into powdery form. After that wet the scars area with some water and your fingers as well because you will be using your finger to dap on the powder so it will stick to your fingers and start to apply it on the scars areas massaging for 30sec - 1minutes. After that use the cotton cloth/pad /wrapped into ball to absorb the hot water(60-70 degree) and hold onto your scars areas for 1-2minutes. If you find it too hot you can try press release press release until you doesnt feel much of the heat and hold it for 1-2minutes. You can repeat the procedure 2-3times per day but not too frequent like 2-3times/week so that let the scars have enough time to heal. I think basically this idea is to speed up the scars healing process to maximum. (It definitely speed up the healing in my case). The last part and most important is youMUSTwash it off with AHA cleanser or gentle mild cleanser or any type coz it seems to clogged a bit pores. You can also consume the supplement too if you want. I used nixodem once in a while to clear up the clogged pores. It is totally up to you when you want to do this treatment during weekend or before sleep so that the next morning the redness side effect has already subsided.

The after effect you get is some temporary redness after some time it will subside maybe like 1-2hours. You can apply makeup if you cannot wait. This might best suit for those with fresh scars, im not sure about old scars and deep indented. You might wanna give it a try if you like it :-), I think this works on hyperpigmentation/post inflammation too to shorten healing time by a lot. Yeah..

WARNINGThe scars areas will be a bit sensitive so if you are not wearing make up you can apply some sun screen when going outdoors.
There will be a slight dizziness so it might not suitable for weak heart/low blood pressure/low blood sugar.

Well thats pretty much it. I hope it helps 🙂 Feel free to ask me anything
