im not sure what to do about all of the marks left on my face. i was able to get rid of my acne using the regimen, spiro and solodyn (still using all three) i use a good sunscreen and the regimen AHA as well, but the marks will not budge. HELP!

including before and afters so you can see the type of acne it was, maybe that helps.IMG_0737.JPGIMG_0738.JPGIMG_0739.JPGIMG_2009.JPGIMG_2010.JPG

Mine look like yours. 

The admin min guy said they were PIE.
apparently Pulse Dye Laser would help but mine have faded A LOT and I'm only really at the 6 month mark. I intend to give it 18-24 months and re-evaluate then. 

Im concerned they are scars rather than PIE but I can't actually feel most of them so if there is indentation it is very slight. 

I dont know man... it sucks.

@BP+DIFF is it helping? i am glad to help you out. Continue applying vaseline to your spots every night before bed for a week and see if there are any improvements or if it has gotten worse. It seems like it is healing on a faster rate with vaseline. Hit me up if there is anything and with news :)

Awesome! Remember in the morning wash your face with mild-cold water (not ice) and gently remove the vaseline which you used night before (it will be some remains)
