I'm in a pretty similar situation as you regarding acne marks/scars. They're concentrated on the temples of my face and a bit on my cheeks, and they look very similar to photos you posted. Althoug...

Have you tried switching the steps in your routine? Instead of cleansing --> moisturizing --> BP, you could do cleansing --> BP (wait 15-20 minutes) --> moisturizing Appl...

Are you using any products on your face right now? If I had to guess, I'd say it looks like a typical acne breakout. Perhaps you can try the acne.org regimen? (It's a bit pricy, but definitely worth a...

If you don't mind sharing, pictures might be able to everyone to pitch in and help better! How long have you dealt with these scars? If they are pigmentation from acne, they will eventually fade--...

This is coming from a purely observational standpoint (non-scientific), but I've noticed that a lot of people who have suffered from acne for a prolonged period of time tend to have acne scars and spo...

How long did you try to use BP and salicylic acid? Sometimes it can take at least a few weeks before you can see visible changes with medications such as BP and salicylic acid. Also, what type of ski...

I'm by no means a medical professional, but the image you shared does not look like a normal "pimple popping". How did you pop the pimple? There's lots of redness and scaring that doesn't look like an...

Like the others have already mentioned, really think about the potential side effects of Accutane. Is your acne bad enough to justify you getting negative, long term side effects? If you're still youn...

Thanks for sharing! I used a few products from Lush in the past. (got too expensive) Are Mask of Magnaminty and Cosmetic Warrior the only two masks you've tried? I really want to get a mask from Lush,...

Along with what the fellow member has already stated, I'd recommend also talking to the workers there. They're all highly trained and know everything about most any product and ingredient. Just make ...

I would recommend trying the medication for a longer amount of time. The acne.org regimen, which is benzoyl peroxide based, can take up to 3-4 months to get clear skin. It can certainly be difficult t...

I've been dealing with hyperpigmentation forever! Something that kinda helps diminish it is using products with niacinamide in them. It's certainly not a miracle drug, but I've noticed it helps a litt...

It looks like a mixture of active acne and some hyperpigmentation. When you rub your finger across the surface of your skin, does your skin feel smooth, or do you notice that it feels like you're havi...

If your acne hasn't been improving, you might want to go and try some other drug store products. I would have recommended trying Cetaphil and CeraVe as a cleanser, but since you've already tried that,...

Personally, I haven't tried it, so I normally wouldn't post anything, but since no one else has contributed, I thought I'd share that two of my friends have been on epiduo for a while. One was a good ...

Are you applying the tea tree oil on straight from the bottle? I recommend diluting it in water or using a cleanser that has tea tree oil already in it. A few years back I applied tea tree oil straigh...

Personally, I used a SA face wash and Dan's BP for a while, and it worked well. However, I felt that my face became way too dependent on the products and if I skipping a cleansing during my regimen, y...

I have the same problem as you do! I've seen a post about it on here before, and I can't find an exact reason. Some people believe that when you sleep, you get less blood flow so they're less visible....
