Hi Melanie,

Are your "scars" actual indentations/pock marks, or are they just those annoying reddish brown "spots" left from previous breakouts?

If they are just "spots" they will gradually fade over time...Honest!!

If you want to speed up the process a bit , you can go to a derm./aesthetician and get a series of peels, laser treatments, or microdermabrasion. The results will very based on the severity of the damage you have.

I personally could not afford to keep going to the Aesthetician, so I began doing my peels at home. I do a 10% Salacylic Acid peel about once every 4-6 weeks and a 30% Glycolic peel about every other week (if you want me to let you know where to purchase the peel kits let me know, and I'll PM the info to you) I also use a Copper peptide Surum by skinbiology, which is a non greasy sort of moisturizer which gives my skin a healthy "glow'.

I have been doing all this for a little over a year now, and my skin looks 100% better!!! I still have the ocassionaly pimple, but my skin seems to finally be under control!!! YEAH!! My DH has even complimented me on how nice it looks, and he normally never notices those type of things!!!

Anyway, I hope the info helps!!

Good Luck!!
