Hi everyone,

I'm sure there are many posts on here about this, but just wanted some answers straight to me.

I've attached photos at the bottom of this post of red marks/hyperpigmentation that's still on my face ONE YEAR post accutane. Not only have they only improved minimally over time, I've had three hyperpigmentation redness treatments performed and my skin still looks like this...

Can anyone please suggest some products (other than sunscreen) that may help with the fading of this redness. I've heard things such as chemical peels, retin a, vitamin c serum, etc... is there one that would work best for my redness in particular? Please also note that it is not just redness from old acne, some of the redness is within my indented pitted scarring.

Thanks

Dont worry these type of scars tend to go away by themselves with time
