    How can I get rid of red marks on my face?
    Hello to all,

    I would like to seek your help because I have few pimples on my face but it was already healed. The problem now, it had left a red marks on my face and I noticed it never faded out. How can I cure it?
    Is there any creams that can fade out red marks without peeling?
    I am from the philippines and what are the products that is available in the philippines that can actually get rid of red marks on face?
    How about magic creams?

    Thanks

    You have two options: cosmetics or medical products. As for the latter, I would recommed Retin A. It's dramatically helped fading my red mark left after acne. You would experience a slight pleeing though, part of the process. For cosmetics, the best is hydroqionone based creams.

    I stopped tretinoin
    Hi,

    I stopped tretinoin because it burned my skin and caused my red marks to become more reddish.
    I used "erase" by uk derm pharma product. I think it is available in the mall and drugstores.
    How about magic cream? Is magic cream effective in fading my red marks on face?
    Actually my red marks are caused by my healed acne, even though my acne are gone, I am quite sad because of the red marks.
    What particular magic cream brand I will used?

    Thanks

    Red Marks
    Hi,
    Have you considered seeing a Dermotologist? Or even a family medical Doctor?
    A Professional might be able to help you more than trying over-the-counter remedies.
    I do wish you well, and good luck.

    Based on my personal experience, such red marks fade with time. Some of them are stubborn though. I had a could have red marks which stayed there for over 6 months! It sucked big time. However, they usually heal on their own. Now you can start with Retin A, lowest strength which is 0.25%. That probably wouldn't be too harsh. Pohli, a cream I started a thread on, helps a with red marks. One more thing, you can try chemical peels. Something like jessner peel will work beautifully for you. Look it up on eBay.

    Other option
    Retin-A does work but but it also irritates the skin and makes it very read. If you're skin is sensitive you might be better off with a product like Kinerase which is much gentler (might take a bit longer, but will give you the same results as retin-A. Also it is similarly priced.

    thank guys for your replies,

    actually I have been to dermatologist and he checked my red marks. Gave me medicines or should I say anti-biotics 2x a day, which is I am pretty scared.
    he also gave me creams to be used in morning and the other is to be used during nighttime. He also gave me erythromycin gel.
    I cannot take the prescription drugs of my doctor because I have no time putting creams during daytime because my face will be greasy. It is okay if it nighttime used and I am afraid of taking anti-biotics.

    that is why I sort to different treatments that is less complicated and less hassle. I have read that magic creams do help eradicate scars and pimples and I think it is worth trying but the problem will be if the said magic cream is genuine or not.
    how about pervil magic cream? I have actually visited their website and surprisingly they won an excellence award for whitening product.
    what can you say about it guys?

    thanks

    Try taking glutathione. Worked for me. I don't suggest any creams or ointments. Most of them will leave on a scar on your face, not very good. What you do you is take glutathione 2x a day

    Go to the nerest store and buy asprin or bear asprin, smash it up and use a little warm water and mix it up to make a thick past, aply it on the red marks and even scrs and you will notice it gone in a few days, if you have a scare they will look better in just the first application, I use it because I'm a model and I look all over for the best stuff, but the best is only 8 dollars and a few drops of warm water what's the odds. But if you have any problems of scars from surgery use some brand names like bear asprin takes the scare away 10X faster, then other products. Thanks for reading it helps.

    If it is scaring, you could try Vitamin E, or maybe Mederma.

    Consult your dermatologist!
