Hi there, I know it probably feels like you've tried it all and as far as procedures I wouldnt know what to recommend for ice pick scarring I know is a little more difficult and they recommend co2 lasers. I would try this cream you buy at Walgreens called studio 35 alpha hydroxy it helps to resurface the skin! I've used it and a little goes a long way you can read reviews! Let me know how it works for you! Also when applying your makeup I use elf high deffinitiom powder after and it helps to blur my scars a little. Good luck I know the road to good skin is a tough one

First of all, any scarring is upsetting but when it is visible then the psychological effects can be thoroughly debilitating. A pock-mark is NO different to one in the road. You can either smooth down the surrounding area (painful, tedious and time-consuming) or you can simply fill it in. If the scars are deep or pock-like, ask your doctor to refer you to a Consultant Dermatologist to discuss the possibility of a surgical intervention where either the skin is reflected, released from the underlying dermis and then the marks filled with a natural filler like H/Acid to achieve that smoother surface or whether a simple, ongoing and regular injection of filler into the affected area will suffice. Remember too, if the acne is inflammatory then a pharmacological adjunct would probably be advisable also. Hope that helps, but please do see your CD for advice for that is what he is there for. Best wishes, Gordi58

I strongly recommend nutrition that simulates collagen production from within. Silica (bamboo extract particularly, 1000 mg a day in 2-3 servings on empty stomach) and vitamin C are the cornerstones here. It should help with procedures you do, and recover better.
