How patient r u?: if you can be patient, the scars usually get dramatically better with time. if you are eager to have a small improvement sooner, the peel might help. the doxy orally can help if you still have inflammatory acne. the tretinoin can help reduce scarring & can be irritating, so be careful & don't overuse.
