Hello, so I am currently on accutane and about to finish month 3. I have a lot of scars, and I am positive they are PIE and not PIH. I am still breaking out but I would like to get rid some of the scars or at least keep it to a minimal. I've read about both Vitamin C and Rosehip but google isn't really giving me the answer I am looking for.
So, between the 2, which one is more effective for acne scarring specifically PIE? My scarring is mostly around my jawline and cheeks.
PIE isn't scarring. IT's wounding post acne. Scarring is completely formed. Healing of PIE can take up to a year.
PIH isn't scarring, it's pigmentation issues.
Vitamn C serum a can be helpful for superficial Wounding. But not for scarring. Sounds like this post belongs in hyperpigmentation sub.
Comfrey and castor oil would be more helpful along with vitamin c serum. Google the properties of these.
Comfrey speeds up wound healing, and castor oil helps with scars.
Vascular laser is still the most effective treatment for hyperpigmentation.

Would using Vitamin C Serum during accutane be ok?

How long have you been using the 3? And do you use them all at the same time? Im on accutane right now and I heard that rosehip could be too drying on the face while on accutane.
I use them together, I normally add 2 drops of jojoba, one drop of tea tree and two drops of rosehip on my palm and then massage it on my face. ive only been doing this for a little bit over 2 weeks and im already seeing results.
really? I thought rosehip oil is supposed to moisturize the skin??
its best to ask your doctor about these stuffs since youre on Accutane. better be safe than sorry
