Is there a difference between AHA Oily and Acne Solution 8 and AHA Revitalizing Lotion 10? Can I use AHA revitalizing lotion 10 in place of Oily and Acne Solution 8?
If you have oily and acne prone skin, it is recommended that you use AHA Oily and Acne Solution 8, as it contains chorhexidine and antiseptic properties to protect your skin. AHA Lotion 10 is more suitable for those with normal to combination skin types, although it will do no harm if you decide to use it too.

If your scars are very deep and obvious, it is advisable for you to see a dermatologist to lighten your scars by using AHA peeling, dermabrasion or laser surgery. After the treatment, you may like to use skincare products to further lighten and soften the scars, as topical preparations alone are not able to lighten deep scars effectively.

Acne may be caused by many conditions such as the environment, hormonal changes, medication and the list goes on. If your acne is small little white heads or back heads, AHA products may help. But if they are the large active sort, a course of antibiotics maybe given by the doctor to take for a few months. Advise to see the doctor for an accurate assessment.

Does the range of products from Ocean Derma for hyper-pigmentation eliminate pigmentation that has been diagnosed as "deep"? If so, how does it achieve it and how long is the elimination process?
Pigmentation diagnosed, as "deep" is not easily eliminated. It also depends on how deep this pigmentation is. The active ingredients in lightening products have to reach the pigment cells in order to exert their effects. So, if the pigment cells are embedded very deep in the skin, the active ingredients may not reach them and even if they do, the amount may not be sufficient to exert an effect. However, it also depends on how active the pigment cells are. If they are very active, then the lightening products may not appear to be very effective too and a longer period maybe required before results can be seen.

I have started using the LHK High Potency Lightening Serum. After three weeks, my skin developed red patches (bit itchy) on both my cheeks and now has become hard to touch. I have stopped now and started applying alternative cream given by doctor to stop the itch but no help. If I apply Therapeutic Lotion 10, I can feel the biting sensation. Is my skin too dry now?
From your description, it could be that your skin is sensitive to the LHK High Potency Lightening Serum. However, if you are concurrently using other products on the affected area, then the red patches may also be due to sensitivity to these other products.

Therapeutic Lotion 10 contains glycolic acid, which is an AHA that will exfoliate your skin's surface dead cells and revitalize it. It is common to feel a tingling sensation if you have not used any AHA products before.

If your skin is feeling dry, you should apply for a moisturizer. Follow the instructions of your doctor and keep him/her informed of any skin outcome.

I recently noticed 3 or 4 black spots on my face. I believe it is due to over production of melanin. How can I resolve this problem?
If the black spots are due to melanin deposition, Ocean Derma LHK High Potency Lightening Serum may help to lighten them. In addition, avoidance of sun exposure and the use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen will also help. However, the black spots could also be due to other reasons. For accurate assessment of your skin condition, please consult the doctor or dermatologist for more details.

I am interested in Therapeutic C Scape serum. Can you tell me more about it?
"C" Scape Serum is a topical vitamin C preparation that can neutralize harmful free radicals formed, say as a result of the sun's UV rays. It is also important for the production of collagen and elastic tissues in the skin, thus contributing to healthy skin, texture and tone. This product is suitable for all skin types. However, please be cautious and avoid having the serum come in contact with the eyes as it can cause irritation.

Besides chemical peeling, is there another way of getting rid of acne scars? Will Ocean Derma LHK High Potency Lightening serum do the job?
Ocean Derma LHK High Potency Lightening is useful for hyper-pigmentation and post inflammation acne scars.

This product is very effective to lighten darker patches caused by inflammation, for example acne. You may notice the lightening effect on your acne scar within a month. LHK High Potency Lightening Serum may not remove the scar but it will lighten the scar to match your skin color making it less visible.

Mild acne scars may be reduced with the use of topical vitamin "C" such as C-Scape Serum, it works by enhancing the formation of the skin's collagen and elastic tissues. However, this may take some time and effects may be variable depending on how bad the scars were. For more information, please consult your doctor.
