There are good home peelings that help remove such things. I recommend Allies of Skin Multi Acids & Retinoid Brightening Sleeping Facial.

Light peels, preferably acidic (glycolic or mandelic), with a low percentage. If you want to get rid of it faster, a higher percentage, but no more than 20! If you're prepared to wait, then use a daily peel with a small percentage (2-3%) And don't mix acidic and retinol peels, they don't combine, there could be an allergy.

Omega acids are important, which participate in cell renewal, form cellular membranes.

It's all individual, some people heal quickly and without a trace, others have scars. I find the regenerating ointment Stizamet helpful, the skin becomes much better after it. It also reduces inflammation. The main thing is not to delay with this or even laser resurfacing may not help.

I have fewer spots after getting a tan, the main thing is not to overdo it.

Spots are essentially a cosmetic flaw that doesn't necessarily require a doctor for removal. A decent solution for this issue is the gel Postacnetin. If the spots are fairly fresh, then the chance of them completely disappearing is quite high, simply by applying the gel twice a day. For now, the gel can be used, and if by mid-autumn the spots are still noticeable, then it might be worth considering a peel with acids.

I'm doing a yellow retinoic peel, it evens out the skin texture, peels off the old layer. But it should be done in autumn or winter, when solar activity is less. I bought Retasol lotion in the pharmacy and applied it to my face for about 8 days, the skin peels off quite heavily, the main thing is not to peel off the crusts. During the peeling period, it's not worth moisturising the skin, but after the course, it really needs nourishment.

The Evosystem from Evobiotics is a cracking thing! It's an anti-inflammatory peptide complex. It balances things out very well, fights inflammation. My acne has practically cleared up!

I like the correcting cream-gel for problematic skin, Seracin Duo, for treatment and recovery, works well for post-acne.

Try undergoing phototherapy. It really helped me get rid of acne spots. The Photocare device is good, it heals the skin quickly. There's not a trace of the spots now.

The Acnesent course of vitamins from Evisent improved my skin condition, and once the acne had cleared, I had peels.
