Acne Scarring and under eyes

[CopeMaxxer]

1. I am currently cycling 20 mg Accutane for 6 months, my routine consists of moisturizers, retinol (for under eyes only), glycolic acid toner, benzoyl peroxide, loreal eye serum.
i am looking for something that isnt super expensive that i can use to help get rid of acne scarring caused by previous acne, and safe to use whilst on Accutane

2. i have genetically dark, veiny, hollow under eyes.
i am wondering i use for volume, darkness and to hide the veins there (which cause a lot of the darkness) thinking about vollufiline, lasering etc. but not sure atm.

glycolic acid and benzoyl peroxide and retinol and accutane all at once is a sure way to destroy your skin barrier and collagen. Be gentle with your skin. The accutane will in effect exfoliate your skin, removing acne and getting rid of acne scars.

My suggestion to you is to use a gentle cleanser for sensitive skin such as the vanicream one. Then, use a hyaluronic acid serum. After that, use a moisturizer with ceramides in it to help your skin barrier. Use sunscreen following that during the day.

accutane is a powerful active ingredient, and you don’t really need other actives while using it. If you still get acne while on it you might just be purging, please be patient.

As for the dark circles, they are caused by poor under eye support.
A caffeine serum might reduce darkness some but it will never go away if you have bad bones. That said, there are some exceptions, so send me a picture of your eye area and i’ll help you determine.
