I'm using retin a (0.05, and currently on 9th week, day 3). It did its job which is removing acne but it also left some dark marks. Help! What should i do? Im also using 10 000IU vitamin e cream to fade my acne mark & Garnier Men acno fight with salicylic acid face cleanser. I am 17 y/o & a Malaysian (i have a dark skin ofcourse).

@beautifulambitionhow long does it takes to fade away if im using honey and aloe vera? Have u tried it before?
A long time, they are wounds (same as a scab on your knee), some people it takes several months. This is why we offer several treatments in the faq. IF they do not go away when you press on them, they are pigmentation, which is common for Asian skin types and needs skin bleach, this is not a wound, it's pigmentation.
