I've had ance for most of my teen life well now i am in my 20's i used this med and now its 85% clear but i have some scars nothing craz.there small scars not deep.well i would like to know if theres something i can put on it to lighten it up i have proactive but i never used it and it came with the refineing mask (however u spell it) should i use that to lighten up???



note i never used the proactive because i got tired of waiting for it to come so i went to my doctor and got a prescription med



also i more thing :] the med i use is a antibiotic and i know after so long your body builds a immune to it should i use it ever now and then since its almost gone because if it comes back i would it if the med didnt work no more



thank you for helping

I would try Mederma.  It comes in a tube and you can buy it at a pharmacy ( in the States).  If you cant find it you can goole it and order it.  It is excellent for getting rid of acne scars.

TRY SOMETHING CALLED PIGMENT CREAM.  YOU CAN ONLY BUY IT FROM A COSMOPOLOGIST OR SOMEONE WHO DOES FACIALS.  IT ACTUALLY LIGHTENS THE ACNE SPOTS AND WORKS QUITE WELL.

No offense, but Mederma didnt work for me..I would use a lighening cream. I cant think of a good one off hand, but your dermatologist will be able to prescribe a good one. Get one that is more than 2% or it wont work as good. Oh yeah, the one I was using is called Ultraquin. It works wonders. I usually put it on under my makeup in the morning and put it on at night before bed. It also helps with break outs!..
