Treating Early Acne Scars
The post-inflammatory changes caused by acne are part of the skin's natural healing process. There are certain practices and medications that can help facilitate this healing process.

Unprotected exposure to the sun causes more skin damage and delays healing, therefore wearing a good sunscreen is important.
Using tretinoin (Retin-A, Renova, Avita) speeds up the skin's remodeling process and helps heal post-inflammatory changes.
Appropriate formulations of Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) and Beta-Hydroxy Acid (BHA) that contain the correct concentrations and are at the appropriate pH also help the skin's remodeling process.
Picking at scabs should be avoided at all costs. Scabs form to protect the healing process that is going on underneath them. Pulling a scab off before it is ready interferes with the healing and remodeling process, prolonging the time that post-inflammatory changes will be visible.

  • Just wanted to post an FYI from a professional esthetician stand point...adding water actually neutralizes the peel, some peels do cause a severe burning sensation BUT while your using the peel you can fan yourself and it will alleviate some of the discomfort. Hope that helps and makes sense.

  • @awildaj thanks for ur input!

  • your story almost made me cry. thanks for posting such a great and helpful video.

  • @pattienolin thanks so much! i hope I helped :) let me know how it goes :)

  • If the BHA+ peel is too concentrated and burns, you should try adding some water to dilute it because it sounds really scary and dangerous that you're face feels like it's on fire when you're using it. I'm glad that these chemical peels have really helped you out and changed your life. =D

  • @BEBEviet thanks for the tip and your comment :)

  • Does anyone know where I can get this shipped to the UK for a reasonable price? Amazon won't ship it to the UK at all and the skin laboratory website charge more for shipping than the product actually costs ($18.95) :( It looks so good I neeeeeeed!

  • Is the HQ peel something you have to work up to as well? I just recovering from a random outbreak that left my skin with scars all on my forehead and under my cheek bone..I never break out like that and I'm desperately looking for something to remove these scars..

  • Thank you for the video! That took a lot of courage and I truly know your struggle. Chemical peels have changed my life too. I use Make Up Artist Choice, which is pretty popular on YouTube. I've been able to control my acne better, but I'm hoping with a little more time I can lighten up the pigmentation marks. Well again, thank you sooo much for sharing and have a wonderful day!
