Acne scaring (PIE)

[paytonm]

So a few years ago I had terrible acne all over my face, and when i got it to clear up it left PIE (post inflammatory hyperpigmentation) on my cheeks. I've added a cerave retinol serum into my pm routine but i was wondering if there was any better way to get it to clear.

Chat is it over for me?

no if it’s only hyperpigmentation, if there’s deep scarring yes.

i’d recommend you use adapalene instead of the retinol, it’s basically a stronger form.

also fix your skin barrier and collagen, basically when i got healthier skin the hyperpigmentation started to lighten
