Hey guys please please help me with these marks leftover from past acne. I™ve suffering from acne since the ages of 16 (now 18). But yeah anyways I recently found a routine that helped my acne greatly. But as that went away, these brown marks started to emerge and it™s been been months but they don™t seem to be going away. It makes me so depressed legit. How long does something like this take to go away!? I™m only using the lemon juice method, which seems to work so slowly that I can barely notice any difference. How do I speed this up??? Thank you guys
Speaking from my own experience I wouldnt use lemon juice. It worked decent for me but eventually my skin got irritated from it.
I would look into this product from acne.org:

Good luck!
I don't have pitting or anything but a TONNE of PIE scars (like PIH but specifically acne sort I believe). I have found a few ingredients that really help, and mostly get them in OTC skincare serums and treatments.
Best for me are Niacinamide, Zinc, Centella Asciatica and Madecasseside. You can find these ingredients in HIGH doses in some korean skin care lines (seriously the best find and a reasonable price range) and also The Ordinary and french skincare lines (eg La Roche Posay).
I've used Vitamin C serums which are supposed to help fade scars too but have had less success with them.
Good luck! If you can afford it, it might also be worth seeing a good facialist who can give you proper advice for you types of scars.
