Also, you might want to look into getting a rx for retin-a. It helps with the reduction of fine lines, rough skin, acne & hyperpigmentation. It does all this by accelerating skin cell turnover & also stimulates your skin to produce more collagen which in turn may improve the look of your skin.

Retin-A is a prescription strength form of Vitamin A. It has been FDA approved for ACNE. But it is also very well known for minimizing fine lines & wrinkles. Its very potent and you usually have to start off with a low strength & only using it at night & about once a week to start. Then slowly using it more often as your skin gets acclimated to it. And it can make your skin sun-sensitive, so sunscreen is recommended during the day. Hence only using it at night.

Everyone reacts differently to medication and so sharing information is valuable, both positive and negative experiences, but don't get discouraged. What may not work for someone, may work for you. My sister had tremendous success with Retin A and her skin is gorgeous now! I have also used Retin-A as I am prone to ingrown hairs, which brings on big ole' cystic bumps that were painful and leave scars. Retin A in conjunction with a low dose antibiotic made that history for me. :)
I understand that you are no longer suffering from acne but have scarring? Peels are amazing. Seek out a reputable derm and they will advise you as what is best. Promise! ;)

Retin A is extremely potent and a lot of people can be sensitive to it but most people start off with too high a prescription & apply way too much because they are trying to hurry the healing. Then they get a bad reaction and quit. But it is not to be applied like a face lotion or cream. You have to use the smallest amount as possible to the affected areas & you have to keep it away from the sides of the nose, the eyes & the mouth. Not using it properly can cause burning, redness, swelling & peeling. People who know they are sensitive have to be extra careful & wait at least 1/2 hr after washing your face. Your skin is extra porous after washing. Then you can apply a oil free moisterizer a 1/2 hr after the retin-a. Again, these guidelines are very important. On the rare instance that you cannot tolerate the retin a, you can try an over-the-counter "Retinol" cream. A good one is Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Aging Cream. Again, start slowly. A lot of people will start off with A retinol first for 6-12 months before trying Retin-A.
