I'm suffering from acne vulgaris and having acne marks on the face from the acne over the years which are very much visible and look bad. I've read salicylic acid peels work wonders with acne but the cost of treatment(3k+) is not affordable for a student like me. Is SESDERMA AZELAC Lotion a good alternative to these chemical peels and does it work on fading marks without any side effects. Are there any cheaper alternatives for fading my scars. I'm still on isotretinoin medication. Thanks for responding, have a good good day.
