Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (dark acne scars)

[marimara]

What is out there that is natural and THAT WORKS (!) that will get rid of these? I know I've had them in the past and they fade in a few months, but really I don't want these for a few MONTHS. Please help!


I get PIH sometimes from deeper pimples. I have olive skin. Why do I only get PIH sometimes, not with every pimple? It seems that when I am more stressed is when I get if I have a pimple. I usually get one pimple a month around my period, it is always on my cheek or chin. But I was taking some horrid migraine meds last month and I got 3!!!!!!! How I have 3 PIH brown scars on my otherwise clear face. I don't really have oily skin, only around my period. I do have sensitive skin though. Very irritable, reddish prone skin.

I had these, too. Retin A Micro worked for me. I've heard that others use Mederma.

Natural? --- no, I've never found anything yet

I use Arbonne's Re9 day/ night serum, pricey for sure but works for me. "Better" than some over the counter stuff, but still not 100% natural.

Hi! I was wondering if overdose of Vit C will help lighten the scars? I have read in a magazine back in HS that Vit C helps in nourishing the skin, together with VIt D and E. So I was wondering if there has been a study regarding this? thanks.

Scar Zone works great for me. Mederma is good, too, but for whatever reason I do better with Scar Zone.
