acne scar treatment

[jordant94]

hello!! i’ve had some pretty bad acne over the years and have been on accutane twice because of it. my skin is the best it’s ever been now, but i have a few pretty dark scars along with redness and hyperpigmentation that just won’t go away. i’ve tried retin a and other topicals prescribed by my dermatologist, but my skin always gets terribly dry no matter how much moisturizer i put on. i use the Supergoop! Superscreen Daily Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 40 PA+++ 1.7 oz/ 50 mL anytime i go outside. anyways, i’ve been thinking about purchasing the The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Oil Control Serum . i’ve read so many great things about it, but i’ve also read that it can cause skin purging from the use of a new active ingredient. almost everyone that said their skin purged explained that they used the product every morning and night, but i plan to only use it 3-4 times a week. has anyone used this product for scars? if so, what was your experience like?

Niacinamide helps with wrinkles, fine lines & moisture barrier. Absolutely NO purging associated with it. So…a gentle Retinol WITH Niacinamide might do WONDERS for your acne scars & keep your skin incredibly moisturized! And you don’t have to spend a lot; look at CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum. Just use a pea sized amount over your whole face every 3/4 nights for the first 2 months, then go every other night because you said your skin is reactive. Good luck!
