Had severe acne, 4 months of tret fixed all my active acne and all that remains are little red spots/bumps, pics attached below, im trying arbutin and kojic acid right now but would dermastamping and using copper serum also work? My skin has stayed about the same for the last month or two. fyi thare are no like dents like typical scarring

what chatgpt said:
From the photos, this looks mostly like:


  • Post-inflammatory erythema (PIE) → the red/pink marks left after acne heals
  • Some post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) → darker purple/brown marks
  • Mild early atrophic acne scarring, mostly:
    • Rolling scars (slight uneven texture)
    • A few very shallow boxcar-type scars
  • I don’t really see deep icepick scarring, which is good.


  • 3. Consider adding azelaic acid​


    This is probably the next product I'd add.


    Azelaic acid can help:
    • fade red marks
    • reduce pigmentation
    • help prevent new acne
    • work well alongside tretinoin
