My skin is so so awful atm! :(

I'm using hydroquinone 4%, and im quite happy with the results. My PIH lessened within a week. Right now the things im using for acne pigmentation are.. Disprin mask and HQ on alternate days. I also use Zinc on a zit if i feel its going to pop up (crush a zinc tablet and mix it with water)

I also started to take vitamin C 500 mg. Heard its good to lessen the redness and produces collagen... lets see!!

Re: My skin is so so awful atm! :(

^Is the Disprin mask doing any good? I've been using HQ cream for months now and I guess my marks have lightened a bit. I wish I could be rid of them completely, I'm getting married in Feb :( And I have scars too jin ka kuch nahi ho sakta sigh

Yes Disprin mask relieves redness.. and zinc mask relieves inflamation. Work wonders for me!
Did u take the vitamins i told u about? is ur acne under control ?

Re: My skin is so so awful atm! :(

hey i am using melaclin cream these days for scars n fusiway for pimples... i mix them both...

but the results are not very fast
the doctor said it will take atleast 6 months... hmm
so tell me about the dispirin mask. i want to try that =)

They weren't available in the amounts you mentioned and I couldn't find a separate Zinc supplement. So I just got a multivitamin and took 2 tablets daily, even though they they still weren't adding up to the amount you mentioned.. Anyway I didn't continue with them. I started using Duac gel, Noxema cleanser and astringent toner and Alhamdullillah my acne's under control! Just get the single occasional pimple. Nothing like the mess it was before! So now I'm just bothered with the marks and scars. I'll try the disprin mask. How do you make it and how long do you leave it on?
JazakAllah!

Re: My skin is so so awful atm! :(

Asprin mask is easy.. just mix 2-3 tablets with water to make a paste and then apply on the red areas.. leave it overnight. Let me know after 3-4 days... (I sound like a doctor... lol)

@AA1985 .. yea you are right, i tried getting those vitamins from pakistan, thinking it would be chaep to buy from there, but couldnt find any..... sad

Re: My skin is so so awful atm! :(

^thanks! I'll definitely let you know :) Someone told me a few days ago to apply freshly taken out coconut water to the marks and they'll fade. Anyone know anything about that?

Re: My skin is so so awful atm! :(

ermmm no idea about that but you can always google it =)

i have this class mate she told me about garnier light indian and that she uses it and she said it helps reducing dark spots and is a sun block too
