What is the best product to fade acne scars?

Take a few mint leaves and crush them. Tie these crushed leaves in a piece of muslin cloth and extract juice. Use it all over your face. It’s a very good home remedy for acne scars.

Numerous companies make a lot of money persuading people to buy products that at worst will make the acne worse, and at best may help some people a little. Often fewer products are better. People often make their acne much worse by using too many products. There really is no quick fix for acne. Don’t spend a lot of money on products just because their ads say that they will cure acne. Your doctor is the best person to ask for help, and he or she may recommend some prescription medication or non-prescription treatment that may be suitable for you..

There are some very simple and basic things you can do that cost nothing. Keep your face or any other area affected by acne very clean. Any mild antibacterial soap will help with that. Rinse the area well to remove all soap residue. Drink plenty of water ; it really does help to clear up acne. Eat a nutritious diet and get enough sleep. A healthy life style will make a difference. Try to reduce the stress in your life ;stress contributes to acne, so also probably the more you worry about the acne and focus on it, the worse it will be.

Probably the most useful and effective things you can do are to apply hot compresses to pustules and cysts and never to pick or squeeze pimples. Playing with or popping pimples, no matter how careful and clean you are, nearly always makes bumps stay redder and bumpier longer.

I think neutrogena is more for the reappearing of new acne. To get rid of the scars you should use a product called hydroquinone, you can buy this over the counter it reallly helps with acne scars. for a a higher percentage youll have to go to your dermatologist, but its really worth it.I’ve been seeing in stores—Walgreens and Target, etc.— a new product called acne pock mark remover—it’s in the face care area, I can’t remember who makes it, it’s in an orange-like box. If you want, you can give that a try. Also, try using some Bio-Oil everyday to smooth/even out skin—I just started and I already can see improvement myself.Several it depends on your personal needs any consultant would be happy to help you pick what is best for you.

What’s the best treatment for acne scars?

July 17, 2008

And that leaves your skin clear and natural - when you’re under 25 ?

In my opinion I would say that the best thing I have come across so far is micro-needling, I have used many products and creams to get rid of acne scars and this has come out on top of them all.

Micro-needling of the skin is an increasingly common cosmetic procedure, but the Scientia Derma Roller is an FDA approved application which is simple enough that you can perform it yourself at home. In fact, it has similar results to Laser Treatment, Chemical Peels and Dermabrasion, but it is considerably less invasive and carries only a fraction of the cost.

Acne Scar Products - some reviews

Many people suffer from acne scars, so we thought we’d provide some tips to the sufferers.

  • You could go to a doctor to get a Retin A or Differin gel, these are topical gels that prevent new breakouts and help with minimal scarring. You just don’t put it on the really dry areas. If you use these gels then all you need is a mild cleanser and light moisturizer like Cetaphil brand. If your parents have medical coverage then these gels can be quite inexpensive or free.
  • If you can’t or don’t want to go to a doctor, I would try any GENTLE acne skin care system that is proven to work (like Proactiv) or any other system you could find at a drug store.

For the scars there are a few scar gel patches on the market that you can get at most drugstores in the bandaid section. There will be a variety of gels and gels might be best for the face as they slowly reduce the appearance of scars and they’re not that expensive.

For covering up scars, readers have suggested the best foundation to be Double Wear by Estee Lauder. It covers small scars really well and stays put all day.

It is expensive but totally worth it. Just make sure to wash it off EVERY night without fail.

Finally if you really want to stop acne, one thing you might consider is birth control pills. Lots of girls take birth control pills for acne and heavy and painful periods. This may also help with your acne too.

This is something else to talk to your doctor about. Also, the birth control don’t dry out your combination skin.

Here’s to getting rid of acne scars forever!

  1. Apply aloe vera gel or juice to heal and prevent acne scars. Be careful when you choose your brand because most claim pure organic material. One good brand is Fruit of the Earth. If there’s hyperpigmentation, aloe vera can take time to fade them and doesn’t work too rapidly.
