My scars were stubborn! Some of them even from 2024! I had tried everything and finally I see some improvement 🥺❤️ I just wanna share everything with yall

The biggest mark on the left side I got from chemical burn from a toothpaste trying to attempt a hack from 5 mins craft to get rid of pimples 2 years ago. Others are from picking those pimples.

I tried lot of 'viral' stuff. Heres what helped and didnt help

Niacinamide-❌️ helped with pigmentation around my mouth but not scars

Alpha arbutin❌️ Didnt work honestly for me

Retinol❌️ IDK WHY RETINOL DIDNT WORK

Cleansers:

Tried out a bunch of cleansers

Worked Worst for me:

Cetaphil (left my skin extremely oily and skin felt dirty)

Worked best for me:

La Roche Posay Effaclar Cleanser

(Skin felt really clean without feeling too dry)

Moisturizer:

Honestly can't get my hands on good ones. Pls reccomend some. I use bioderma one and my skin feels dull after application so I usualy skip it ngl

Sunscreen:

CANT STRESS THIS ENOUGH BUT UV DOUX DIDNT WORK FOR ME. MY SKIN TANNED HELLA LOT WHEN I USED IT. SPOTS BECAME DARKER TOO. I HATE IT.

I now use La roche posay uvmune sunscreen which hurts my wallet but I cant find a good sunscreen within my budget any where for god's sake. Its quite greasy too so skipping moisturizer doesnt hurt

Here comes the products THAT ACTUALLY HELPEDDD

Azeliac acid 15% 🥈

Hydroquinone🥇

WARNING:THESE TWO SHOULDNT BE USED WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION. HYDROQUINONE CAN LEAD TO PERMANENT DAMAGE ASK UR DOCTOR FIRST.

I used azeliac acid before I got a new dermat who put me on hydroquinone I LOVE IT. May is the last month before my hydroquinone break starts and I'm absolutely loving the results. AND ID LIKE TO THANK IT FOR SAVING MY SKIN. Peace out

It developed as a puss filled small pimple and became this, its crusty and hurts how to get rid of this its killing my self confidence
