Hey guys!
I'm 14 and I've experienced horrible acne in the past.
I'm under a special treatment and now I basically only have acne scars.
The thing is , how can I easily get rid of them?
I have oily to combination skin, and it is sensitive.
I've heard of glycolic acid, does it work?
What do you think I should do to get rid of my severe acne scars?
Thank you so much!

Glycolic acid is a life saver! Get a glycolic acid toner and it will really help your acne scars. I love the one from mario budescu(I don't know how to spell his last name) but you get it for Ulta for around $18.

Are they red marks or indentations?

Oxy pads, tea tree oil, rose water and witch hazel! Also lots of water works for me. Feel free to give them a try they are great products for clear skin but everyone's skin is different and you just have to learn products that work good for you

In addition to investing in high quality skin care recommended by your dermatologist and sticking to a solid regimen, here are some temporary fixes for special events/photos/etc., that I use regularly on my clients:

Mario badesceau (sp?) drying paste smoothed over any hard to conceal areas under your concealer and foundation. I use it to smooth out cystic acne.

Laura Gellar spackke primer is great if you need to smooth out larger areas, plus it creates a smooth canvas when used all over though I find it a bit heavy to use regularly all over.

Last but not least, for any crater scars, 3rd Degree silicone is a lifesaver! They make clear, light, and dark shades that are easily pigmented to customize to your skin tone. Mix a pea sized amount following the directions EXACTLY (I use silicpig to color it, but I'm an FX artist so I've always got that on hand- there are alternatives), use a disposable spatula to smooth it into the scar, remove excess, let cure, and paint (skin illustrator works great!)!!

Best of luck!!
