Can this fade post acne marks?????

in Vitamin Acne Treatment

I have no pimples, just annoying post acne-marks. Could this toner help fade them???

I heard Vitamin C could, so I was just wondering.

Right now I use Almay Normal Skin Cleanser, Noxzema Skin Cream with added moisturizers (as a night moisturizer), and a topical anti-biotic to keep my skin pimple free.

What drugstore products do you suggest?

Or facial treatments that would help fade these marks?

Thanks!!!!!
Could anti-aging products possibly fade my marks? I know some say they can fade age spots.

Something like this:

Retinol (Vitamin A) works well. A really good option is Green Cream but that costs a lot.

Exfoliation – manual (by microdermabrasion clothes/brushes/ scrubs) or chemical (acids, glycolic/aha/bha)
I find this method to work well

Eat healthy/take multivitamins

WEAR SUNSCREEN!!! Otherwise your skin will keep on producing pigments, melanin, and sun exposure slows healing processes.

I'm also very wary of drugstore products because I'm just not very impressed with any line. I tried Vichy's Normaderm and it was alright. The night lotion is pretty good, so perhaps you could give that a try? Generally, I think good skincare costs more so perhaps you could explore some of the other options out there?

Hope that helped

It probably doesn't contain enough Vitamin C. Vitamin C is light soluble , so it is usually kept in a tube so not light can get to it. You should look for an exfolliating lotiton like Alpha Hydrox 10% available at most drugstores. It helps your skin turn over faster and the marks will fade quickly.

Try Bio-oil.
