hi so basically i started accutane back in november. now most of my acne are gone, however, i'm left with a bunch of red acne scars? ( i have like redness but like the scars aren't indented or anything they're just red and flat.) any advice on how to get rid of 'em? skincare, treatments?

also, i struggle with dark circles around my eyes. it'd be great if you guys have any recommendations on how to lighten them :)
 
I use only castor oil and aleppo soap for skincare. Fixed my skin barrier and im only left with 1 pimple a month (hormonal). You could try that. I never used accutane but you could just try that.
Another way would be.. maybe try tretinoin or just use non comedogenic moisturizers on your face. And try fixing your diet.
I also have chronic dark eye circles. My advice would be to stop using phones as much and/or lower your brightness and use Night Mode. You could try using ice on your eyes but that only has a temporary effect. You could use concealer on your dark eye circles. Hope this helped! (sorry for the long response)
 
I personally love vitamin c I once a week I do derm stamping, then I take a vitamin c tablet and crush it, mix it with water and apply it as skincare. This works ways better than over the counter vitamin c serums. then twice a week I do tret. this combo literally cleared up my back acne scars
 
Red and flat would be PIE. Laser helped me the most, I got BBL although PDL is better for it I believe. I don’t think it’s recommended to do laser while on accutane though. Some skincare will help like niacinamide, tranexamic acid, or azelaic acid. But laser is the best and fastest
 
dial antibacterial bar works really well and for ur eyebags dap on a nice amount of good molecules eye gel and sleep with it on for the next few days

Fraudmaxx js cover it up 🤑. Orrrrr :Tret, azeleic , tranexamic acid, barrier repair, rets, niacinimide , never forget sunscreen, what really helps is vascular lasers
 
I’ve dealt with similar skin concerns, and I’ve found that it’s worth being a little careful about trying too many things at once. I’ve been looking into microneedling and different at-home options recently, but I’m still trying to figure out what actually makes sense for different types of scarring. Has anyone here used a derma roller consistently and actually noticed a difference in their skin texture?

for me it helped that I stopped washing my face in the morning.Because during the night your skin creates a protection barrier.But if your skin is oily you can wash it lightly with some water. But I also have to add that I never had any strong acne scars
 
The point about protecting the skin barrier makes a lot of sense because I think many people focus only on treating marks and forget about irritation. I'm curious, when you changed your routine and stopped washing in the morning, how long did it take before you noticed a difference? Also, did you make any changes specifically for the acne scars/red marks, or was it mainly about improving your overall skin condition first?

sudocrem on acne marks, every night, thick layer. if ur from uk // it is the best oat
 
trifarotene helped heal my acne scars a lot even in a couple days i saw results
 
sudocrem is pretty good at reducing redness
