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.

Try bio-oil, its really good for scars and stretch marks, i have been using bio-oil on my 12 inch scar on my head which i am very paranoid about and have been for the last 18 years and since i started using it about 3 months ago i have noticed a change. It isn’t as noticeable as it was, it is about $8 from any pharmacy for a bottle. The bottle is not big but if you use it right it lasts!

Rosewater with an equal amount of honey or rubbing garlic clove several times a day helps to reduce the acne scars. You can also wash your face with an avocado mixed in water or rinse your face with saturate lettuce leaves many times a day.

You could go to a beauty salon and have specialised facials once a month or even weekly depending on the severity. Your beauty therapist will chose products according to your skin type and will provide advice on what products you should be using at home. It’s very important to cleanse, exfoliate and moisturise. By exfoliating, it reveals new skin and makes your skin rejuvenate faster and allows your moisturiser to be absorbed more efficiently. I know, when you have acne, the last thing you want to do is put on moisturiser but your therapist can give you quite light moisturisers that don’t clog your skin. Moisturising prevents your skin from ageing! Try a mask called Claytech mask or any mask that has some sort of clay or zinc which will absorb excess oils and is quite soothing. You could also have microdermabrasion that is quite effective as it is a deeper form of “exfoliating” and therefore help reduce appearance of scars.

Dermalogica is a wonderful product, although expensive, but they have the most amazing range for oily skin. Environ is pretty good too although some peoples skin doesn’t react well with this product but over time your skin will get used to it. Nimue is also good. Try avoid french products for now, that have lots of frangrance and colour as these effect your skin too. You can also purchase Tee Tree Oil, and apply to your spots - it has an anti-bacterial effect. You can apply it throughout the day. You could also go to a dermatologist and they can put you on certain medications but be aware that some topical treatments that they prescribe can cause your skin to peel and cause redness as well (this I know from personal experience, and is not very pleasant, it can also damage skin further if not used like the instructions indicate).

If you’re a girl I found that using the pill is very effective, it completely cleared my acne. I used Diane and I swear by it. Wash your hands before you touch your face and don’t pick at your pimples (I know it’s hard!! lol) Change your pillow cases on a regular basis because the bacteria on your face can spread to other parts of your face therefore more pimples. Change your towel often. Wash your face after gyming. Eat a healthy diet, excersice, drink water, take vitamins esp in the B group - great for your skin!!!

Also there is also plenty private clinics that provide skin laser treatment which work amazingly to remove scars, but its quite expensive.I suffered with scarring on my face and back too when I had acne. I found vitamin E cream worked best for me because it wasn’t very oily and didn’t cause my acne to flair up again. It worked brilliantly. Just make sure it’s good quality and not too thick. However, if you are now totally acne free, a product called bio-oil is just magic. I also used this and it was VERY effective against the scars but because it was an oily product it only irritated my acne and i got even more spots, defying the purpose.

For face apply fresh mint juice every night to treat acne and pimples as this is a good home remedy for acne. For chest when washing your body use a loofah, sponge or exfoliant to help remove any dead skin cells that may clog up pores. Use a gentle action and don’t be too harsh otherwise you will end up breaking the skin.

Vitamin E prevents acne or pimple scarring and can also be used to fade old scars. Use cucumber or other fruit and vegetable packs to cure pimple scars.

I have suffered acne need as well. and the scars you are talking about along with it. lately i’ve been trying the lemon to lighten scars, aloe vera, and mederma. You can buy over the counter facial peels but I feel it’s too extreme for me. just go to your local walgreens and ask either the pharmacist what he recommends what you doctor should give you or they’ll help you find something in the store.

I swear by it.

It works really well. My dermatologist recommended it to me and my pimples have been going away and I’ve noticed a drastic change.

ClearPores is a three-part cleansing system consisting of a deep-cleaning wash, an herbal formula and a protection cream, sort of a one-two-three punch to eliminate acne externally and internally.

The first step unclogs the pores and combats bacteria buildup. The second step involves several potent herbal extracts that actually work from within to fight acne and prevent future breakouts. The third step is a topical cream that keeps pores clean and moisturizes the skin.

Our ClearPores review involved a number of our readers who volunteered to try the products for the recommended three month period. We’re happy to report that most of them did notice significant decreases in acne severity after just a month of using the 3-part Clear Pores system.

What was most attractive about this treatment option is the 6 month money back guarantee and the 24 hour customer support, which were big pluses for our pollsters that they didn’t find anywhere else.

Another interesting part of our ClearPores review was the fact that they make a face and a body system, which is great because most acne sufferers tend to get breakouts on their shoulders, backs and arms as well as their faces.

We will follow the results of these and other ClearPores acne treatment users over the next few months and keep you posted.

Vitamin A is used as a prescribed medical treatment for acne, not just as an acne vitamin. Marketed as Accutane or Retin-A, megadoses of a specific subtype of vitamin A have been proven to reduce the problem of acne in even the most stubborn cases. However, the dosage required can be dangerous in some cases. For instance, it can cause birth defects to the unborn children of pregnant women who take it. It also causes the skin to be especially susceptible to sun damage. It’s usually prescribed by a doctor only after other regimens have not worked. A course of therapy lasts up to twenty weeks in most people.

Over-the-Counter Vitamins for Acne

If you’re not ready to plunge into the Accutane world, there are several other acne vitamins you can supplement your diet with to promote overall skin health and to help reduce and even cure your acne problems. Ordinary vitamin A supplements, if not taken in too-high dosages, can produce many of the same effects as Accutane, but won’t carry the same side effects. Be careful to not exceed the recommended daily allowance.

Vitamin E is known to be a great vitamin for overall skin health, and it can help fight low-grade cases of acne. While most people take vitamin E by mouth, the capsules usually come in a gel-coated liquid form. The liquid inside each capsule can be applied directly to the skin, but those who have sensitive skin may find this to be irritating rather than helpful.

If you take acne vitamins E and A, you should also take a zinc supplement with them. Zinc doesn’t directly affect the skin, but it does enhance the absorption of vitamin A and helps keep the levels of vitamin E in the blood stable. Zinc, applied directly to the skin, can also kill surface bacteria. A high-zinc concentrate ointment, such as Desitin (used to treat diaper rash), can be applied directly to an acne lesion to reduce its appearance overnight.

Selenium and magnesium aren’t vitamins for acne, but rather trace elements that most people don’t get enough of. The effects of these two minerals aren’t completely understood, but selenium seems to improve skin elasticity, a useful effect when you’re drying your skin out with acne treatments. It also helps boost the effects of vitamins E and A. Magnesium helps balance out your hormones, which can reduce the impact of hormonal cycles on acne breakouts.

A high-quality acne vitamin supplement is called Acnezine, and it contains special nutrients that attack breakouts at their source and reduce the likelihood of future blemishes.

In addition to these specific vitamins for acne, a deficiency in any vitamin may be enough to cause an acne outbreak. Always take a good general vitamin supplement with your acne vitamins, and take all vitamins with a meal that includes an 8-ounce glass of water and some fats to ensure your body absorbs them properly.

The product will be called ThermaClear, and it is reported to be a unique and groundbreaking approach to acne and blemish treatment. According to a press release from the company, this new product will work in a manner similar to laser treatment, a common out-patient procedure used to treat moderate to more severe acne breakouts.

As new information emerges, we will bring it to you…so be on the lookout for a special new hand-held pimple zapper…..

There was a time when i asked myself why i have acne problems only on certain area of my face? Why my forehead is perfectly clear, but in the same time acne on my cheeks are driving my crazy? Then i heard about Chinese medicine, about Shiatsu and other alternative treatments from girl giving in cosmetic salon giving my a facial treatment. I believed that natural east-based medicine can explain many diseases and health problems so i wanted to see what they say about acne.
Acne on our faces are telling us that something is not balanced inside our body. Main causes can be stress, hormones, digestive problems, weak liver. These factors are interconnected but Shiatsu medicine say that acne on certain areas of our face, can tell us what is the main cause and why we have acne breakouts. In Chinese medicine, acne on the cheeks would normally correspond to the Stomach (the Stomach “channel” on the face runs directly down from below the eye, thus covering the cheek.)
It may be representative of too much “Damp” and “Heat” in the Stomach channel which can arise for many reasons, e.g. emotional, dietry, menstrually etc.

Apparently, the areas that acne occurs on, on your face, are each caused by something different, be it stress, hormones or digestion. A problem with any of these could cause a certain area of your face to break out.

The area around the mouth and the chin is often indicative of Liver disharmony (the Liver channel deep pathway runs around the mouth). The Liver is particularly susceptible to Damp and Heat which are often the main causes of acne (in Chinese Medicine).

As we can see, main causes are stomach/digestive/intestines and liver problems. For those acne suferers where weak liver is root of acne, well known herb milk thistle is beneficial for making a liver stronger and eliminate toxins. Our stomach digests by using acid to break down the food into smaller particles so it can be easily absorbed by our intestines. The acid produced is hydrochloric acid (HCL) and it will break down protein, kill pathogens and microns, control absorption of B12, control absorption of nutrients, Vitamin C, created indigestion and prevents constipation. If our HCL level is low, this will contribute to acne growth. But the level of HCL can be increased by taking digestive enzyme that contains this acid.
For intestines and digestive problems related to your acne - you will benefit from Probiotic supplements. Probiotics are bacteria that help maintain the natural balance of organisms (microflora) in the intestines.
Any acne on your cheeks is probably caused by stress and stomach problems. This means if you are suffering from an ulcer or bloating or any other stomach issues, you could end up with cheek acne.
Acne found on the tip of your chin, on your nose, or on your chest and back come from a hormonal imbalance. They can be the result of many things from irregular periods to pregnancy. You will probably need help from your doctor to clear up these problems.
