Acne hyperpigmentation scars

[FuckNW]

What are the best/safest products/treatments for acne scars. My scars arent the pitted ones, but imagine a pimple significantly darker than the surrounding skin.

Where are you based? Certain things you'll only be able to get on prescription in some places (marked with *)

But the main actives that will help are:
- Azelaic acid
- Niacinamide
- Hydroquinone *
- Retinoids (some *)
- Glycolic acid
- Vitamin C

If you can, talk to a dermatologist. There's combination prescription creams out there that are hydroquinone, tretinoin and a corticosteroid that are the real heavy hitters when it comes to hyperpigmentation.

I live in Denmark, we usually have easy access to same things international. ´Would you recommend Vitamin C serum?
Do/Did you have acne scars? Is it even possible to get rid off them 100%? Or is it only possible to fade them

Depends which vitamin C serum, some of them are shit.
I've never really had an issue with acne scarring. I do have a medical condition where anytime I get any kind of significant inflammation or a cut in my skin, it scars so I've dealt with a lot of scarring in my time. I mostly know about this stuff though because of my job.
Yes, its possible to get rid of them fully, it takes time but it is possible.
