What have you found are the best ways to reduce/lighten scars?

mederma|||Well, first off, i would recommend staying out of the sun unless you%26#039;re wearing sunscreen.





Also, I have a bad scar on my finger and my doctor told me to use aveeno and i find it helps.





Most scars fade with time though|||Vitamin E. Purchased it at Walgreens in capsule form, puncture %26amp; rub it on the burn scars and they faded.

How do you cure scars?

i have a scar on my left forearm that is round. it is like a bump(not level with skin). how do i flatten it and cure it?|||uh you can%26#039;t cure it, but you can lighten it by using Maderma. you can find it in the drug store.|||scars make you human|||essential oil scar heal blend. also exfoliate it often. it will never be gone, but the oil blend should fade and soften/level it out quite a bit. any aromatherapy shop should carry a premade blend. I have many scars that have been reduced/faded by this method.|||Scars are areas of skin that already healed and left a mark. So you can%26#039;t cure it. But you mean getting rid of scars? Um, I don%26#039;t know.|||Mederma. You can buy it at Grocery stores, Target, WAlmart. It works as long as you apply it on a regular basis.|||There%26#039;s no way to cureor completely get rid of a scar, but putting bio-oil on it will reduce it in size and protrusion.

Which cream or cleanser is best to get rid of acne scars?

tell me where i can get it, the price, and does it actually work?if so, how long? also, i would like a cleanser to reduce the size of pores .thank you.|||proactive

Person with loads of scars, how would you think they got them?

If you saw someone with loads of scars (mainly staright lined and in all different directions but mainly horizontal, some vertical, some diagonal) what would be your first thought? How would you think they got the scars?|||a lot of people are saying Self-inflicted but the scars are straight and horizontal at that.





If the wounds are self inflicted then I don%26#039;t see how the person would have been able to keep his or her hand steady unless they did it fast. And then to create many scars would mean there is a lot blood loss when nobody is around. This is very dangerous for obvious reasons.





So I don%26#039;t believe it was self-inflicted





Cat and Dogs would cut you in a way that%26#039;s mainly diagonal, so I wouldn%26#039;t think it%26#039;s an animal.





Now a knife opponent would cut people in straight horizontal lines, this makes the most sense to me





I would assume that the person was recently in a knife fight or went up against an opponent who was carrying a bladed weapon of somekind and like to strike horizontally.|||It would scare me at first. Why the scars and why so many?





It%26#039;s self harm as some of the users have stated. It%26#039;s more than just self-harm. It%26#039;s also reassurance, but for what exactly?





Scars also represents pain and sorrow. The person couldn%26#039;t talk about it, but just keeps scarring themselves with some sharp object to calm themselves down.





It%26#039;s also a sign of attention. The person needs help for assurance.|||depends where, if it is on the front it is possible that it is self harm, maybe even torture. if it is on the back than it is more likely to be torture, or abuse or whatever. but it sounds like if anyone was doing it is just doing straight lines, possibly across each other , showing self loathing and a lot of boredom.|||Self harm? Dunno - I%26#039;d have to see them in person.


I have a massive scar on the inside of my wrist which looks like a suicide attempt but it was actually a really deep cat scratch. I forget it%26#039;s there but I often see people staring!|||They could of done it themselves, however i am absolutely covered in scars all from machinery at work over many years.|||Maybe they have a cat? I have a cat and it scratches me all the time.|||maybe an animal mauled them..|||that is an interesting question.... self harm is the only one i can think of...|||self harm would be my 1st guess.

How does the joker gets his scars in "The Dark Knight"?

Early in the movie he says that his Father does it to him.


Then later to some one else he says it was due to his wife.


Any ideas why he does that and how does he get those scars in the first place.|||The answer is the Joker%26#039;s face was disfigured with a razor. The details of how it occured, however, are questionable--since the source is the Joker, the stories regarding his father and wife cannot be taken as the truth. But, since the Joker cleverly manipulates the truth throughout the film, it can be assumed that some element of truth exists in his story...and the only constant is the razor. It can also be assumed that it was done by someone close to the Joker (i.e., himself or his father), because both sides of the face are disfigured along the mouth line, but no other scars exist...this indicates that after one side of his mouth was disfigured, the culprit could move onto the other side of the mouth without a great deal of struggle or flight from the Joker.|||He gives two different stories, one involving his father and the second one his wife. No way to know which one it%26#039;s true. |||He does it because he%26#039;s insane. They never reveal in the movie how he got them, the different stories are used to illustrate just how nuts he is.|||He meant that his father made one, and he did the other to himself in front of his wife. Because he is insane.|||the wife. he did it with a razor. He said he wasn%26#039;t smiling enough.|||Shop class when he was screwing around with the saw.|||by copying the carver from nip/tuck|||a knife. at first i thought it was just makeup he put on but then in da movie it said tht he did it to himself.

How to Get rid of acne scars?

I have little ones that look like pimpled that have been there for over a year


my normal routine is:


morning- wash my face moth cetapil then put a little duac cream on then use cover up


night- wash my face with cetapil then put on tazorac cream everyother night


I dont want to do laser removal or anything like that|||Here are several remedies that work for many people.





. To treat acne scars, use this mixture as a face mask:





1 tablespoon of sour cream, 1 tablespoon of yogurt, 1 tablespoon of oatmeal, and a few drops of lemon juice. Pat the mixture onto acne scars, leave on for 10 minutes, and rinse off.





A popular way of how to treat acne scar is to use a face mask made out of tomatoes and cucumbers.





These two combined can greatly reduce the visibility of acne scars. Using a tomato and cucumber face mask also tightens the pores of the skin giving it a nice, even texture.





To get a quick relief from acne scars.





Rub some ice cubes in a pack on the affected area. This soothes the irritated skin and also shrinks the size of pores.





9. Fenugreek is an effective solution to how to treat acne scars.





You can make a paste out of fenugreek leaves and use it as a face mask. You can also boil Fenugreek seeds in water and use the solution on acne scars after it cools down. lavender oil





Saturate a cotton ball with a few drops of acne-fighting essential oil such as lavender oil. Apply it on acne scars at least two times a day.


|||Some common methods of treat acne scars include laser resurfacing, dermabrasion, and chemical peels. You should consult with your dermatologist to choose the most suitable treatment for you.





If you want a less invasive treatment option, you may opt for a microdermabrasion, which effectively scrapes off a very thin layer of the skin. As a result, recovery time is shorter. Furthermore, you can also do it yourself at home.





If you have minor scars and skin blemishes due to acne, you may opt to use the Skin Blemish botanical Drops. This botanical formula gives your skin a boost in the natural healing process - a process that your skin may once have started, but never finished.





If your skin is responsive to the Skin Blemish Drops product, new skin cells will naturally and gradually replace your old skin cells, most of the time from the inside out. This gives you natural restoration throughout your blemished skin, the way your skin was intended to heal.

How can i get read of scars from spots?

i have a few scars on my back where i%26#039;ve had spots - please suggest something to get rid of these before the summer!!|||I would talk to a dermatologist right away.





Personally, I use pineapple juice to help the scar tissue go away.|||I have heard of an oil from the Andes called Rosa Mosqueta oil that%26#039;s well known for removing scars (please see link) it has been featured in Sunday Times, Mail on Sunday.


Also I%26#039;ve heard honey is very good (please go to this site %26amp; type in acne scars or boil scars:

How to treat acne scars?

I had some zits and I squeezed them and becasue of that I have brown spots where the zits once were. Any natural remedies? Or creams?|||I don%26#039;t know of any creams that are available but have you considered micro needling to remove the scar instead of laser scar removal?





You can buy a skin roller with fine needles which just tickle when you use them.





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.





The Scientia Derma Roller can help to remove acne scars or remove surgery scars and the skin treated improves its level of elasticity, becoming thicker, smoother and is tightened.





For more information on how you can painlessly remove wrinkles, scars, stretch marks





and cellulite, visit http://www.derma-rollers.com|||Acne scarring is perhaps worse than the acne itself.





My acne scars weren%26#039;t horrible. They probably weren%26#039;t even that noticeable after I put on my foundation. However, I certainly noticed them and that was all it took to bother ME.





If you%26#039;ve got acne scars, you may feel a bit helpless. But you don%26#039;t have to because there are alternatives to getting rid of acne scars. And you CAN do something about it.





So what do you do about it? Well, there is totally a solution ... actually there are many.





These are NATURAL treatments.





Now, just because you hear the word %26quot;natural%26quot;, I don%26#039;t want you to shake your head and think you need to just buy some over the counter miracle cream. These remedies WORK! And you%26#039;ll find that by consistently using them, your acne scars WILL fade just like mine did.





So without further ado, here are my favorite natural acne scar solutions:





Vitamin E


Don%26#039;t underestimate the power of this healing lotion. You can get it at any drugstore in topical form. I have a HUGE bottle of it under my sink :) . Vitamin E naturally heals scars by moisterizing the damaged skin. Use it everyday to fade away acne scars.





Cocoa Butter


This one should be used carefully. If your acne is not already under control, cocoa butter does pose the threat of additional breakouts. However, if you%26#039;re using the 3 Day Cure technique and your skin is finally clear, this is a powerful healing tool. Cocoa Butter will soften skin, lighten the scars and make them fade into nothing. I love this one. By the way, Cocoa Butter also works great on fading stretch marks.





Honey


Okay, this is totally gonna change your life! Honey works overtime on acne %26amp; acne scars. Yes, Honey! When I first learned about this natural remedy, I was pretty bewildered. The sound of it alone is confusing. Honey is a sticky, sugary substance. How can it possibly clear up skin?





Honey kills bacteria while simultaneously lessens the red look of irritated skin. The acidity in the honey evens out your skin tone, shrinks current pimples and will give your skin a softer feel. Listen, I know you may be skeptical of this solution. I was at first, then I tried it. This natural acne scar remedy works great.





Lemon


Lemon will help clear up acne as well as fade acne scars. Plus your face will smell like a freshly shined harwood floor, so that%26#039;s a plus ;)





The acidity in the juice will lighten the redness of the scars and balance your skin%26#039;s pH levels to prevent future breakouts. Give it a shot.





You can find a lot of other natural acne treatments and acne scar treatments through the source link below.





Cheers!|||You have post inflammatory acne marks that will take a long time to dissapear. A good way to help is by putting Vitamin E (the ones in the capsules) on it.

Many beauty products on the market have harmful chemicals in them; do your favorite beauty products contain any of these things?:





* Mineral Oil, Paraffin %26amp; Petrolatum – Petroleum products coat the skin like plastic, clogging pores and creating a build-up of toxins, which in turn accumulate and can lead to dermatological issues, like slowing cellular development, which can cause you to show earlier signs of aging. Suspected cause of cancer %26amp; Disruptive of hormonal activity. By the way, when there’s an oil spill in the ocean, don’t they rush to clean it up – fast? Why put that stuff on your skin?





* Parabens – Widely used as preservatives in the cosmetic industry (including moisturizers). An estimated 13,200 cosmetic and skin care products contain parabens. Studies implicate their connection with cancer. They have hormone-disrupting qualities – mimicking estrogen – and interfere with the body’s endocrine system.





* Phenol carbolic acid– Found in many lotions and skin creams. Can cause circulatory collapse, paralysis, convulsions, coma and even death from respiratory failure.





* Propylene glycol – Used as a moisturizer in cosmetics and as a carrier in fragrance oils. Shown to cause dermatitis, kidney or liver abnormalities, and may inhibit skin cell growth or cause skin irritation.





* Acrylamide– Found in many hand and face creams. Linked to mammary tumors in lab research.





* Sodium laurel or lauryl sulfate (SLS), also known as sodium laureth sulfate (SLES)– Found in car washes, engine degreasers, garage floor cleaners… and in over 90% of personal care products! SLS breaks down the skin’s moisture barrier, easily penetrates the skin, and allows other chemicals to easily penetrate. Combined with other chemicals, SLS becomes a “nitrosamine”, a potent class of carcinogen. It can also cause hair loss. SLES is sometimes disguised with the labeling “comes from coconut” or “coconut-derived





* Toluene – Poison! Danger! Harmful or fatal if swallowed! Harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Made from petroleum or coal tar, and found in most synthetic fragrances. Chronic exposure linked to anemia, lowered blood cell count, liver or kidney damage, and may affect a developing fetus. Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) contains toluene. Other names may include benzoic and benzyl.





* Dioxane– Found in compounds known as PEG, Polysorbates, Laureth, ethoxylated alcohols. Common in a wide range of personal care products. The compounds are usually contaminated with high concentrations of highly volatile 1,4-dioxane, easily absorbed through the skin. Dioxane’s carcinogenicity was first reported in 1965 and later confirmed in studies including one from the National Cancer Institute in 1978. Nasal passages and liver are the most vulnerable. Dioxane is easily removed during the manufacturing process by “vacuum stripping”.





Warning: It is a synthetic derivative of coconut. Watch for hidden language on labels, such as “comes from coconut”.





IF SO, you should throw them away IMMEDIATELY and you can substitute virgin/extra virgin olive oil or a natural coconut oil to moisturize in the meantime until you find a better, natural alternative!!! Tell ALL your friends and family!!!

Is there a product that actually works to take away acne scars?

You should see my before and after pictures from high school and now. Now I use Clinique to wash, tone and moisturize my face to keep the acne under control to avoid future break-outs.

http://skincarerx.com/review_box.html?pi鈥?/a>





I have used it with wonderful results.





It%26#039;s a little pricy, but worth every penny.|||try cocoa butter|||you cant remove scars completely but you need laser treatment to make them less visible so you cant tell you have them with makeup on.look up a good doctor that does that|||Put honey on your face. It sounds crazy but honey has many skin benefits. I use honey on my face and it fades red marks over time.|||This is how to treat acne scars and pimples:





Mix baking soda and witch hazel/or water together until it comes to a good constancy, and then spread on your face and leave it on for 10-15 minutes. these two things are very inexpensive and it%26#039;s very easy to do since there is only two ingredients.





Toothpaste is good for drying out your pimple (for some people). Put only a little bit before you go to sleep. Some people use this as a mask but DON鈥楾 EVER DO THIS! It can change your skin tone and make your face discolored.





Aloe vera helps scars lighten and less noticeable (lemon, cocoa butter, witch hazel, and tea tree oil do the same thing). Use the gel (of the aloe plant) or the real thing.





Try to buy a cleanser that works for you, and when you wash your face, open your pores with hot water (not too hot, or it will dry out your skin) and massage it gently into your skin. Then, use cold water at the end to close you pores. The smaller your pores are, the less likely you%26#039;re prone to pimples. Clearasil, Neutrogena, and proactive are good choices to start if you want a cleanser. Don%26#039;t use body soaps because they dry out your skin. Don%26#039;t scrub too hard either, because it can irritate your skin.





An egg yoke can be used to make you pores smaller. I used this when I had pimples. Just take the egg yolk (the yellow part) and leave it on your face for 10-15 minutes and rinse off with warm water and then splash your face with cold water.





Keep your hair out of your face because the oils in your hair could go into your pores. Change you sheets because they%26#039;re are trapped with dirt, oils, etc.





Zinc (type of vitamin) is the one of the best things you can use to get rid of pimples. You can buy these almost about any large store (such as Wal-Mart or Shaws.) Have one tablet per day and try to cut down the junk food and replace it with vegetables and fruits. Drink lots of water and don%26#039;t pop you acne. Popping acne can lead to acne scars.





If you have sensitive skin, don%26#039;t use make up. Some of the things in make up can clog your pores and cause pimples. Keep your hands out of your face as much as you can because you hands a full of bacteria and oils.|||a good product that i use is called %26#039;BIO-OIL%26#039; it fades the scar sooo quickly..|||there;s a product called mederma and you could use it on acne scars, but i don;t know if it;d work so you should go to google and type in mederma reviews and see what ppl say about it|||Do NOT pick your pimples anymore! STOP. It can leave even more scars. You can try using vitamin e oil.. in the capsules. Just pop the capsule and spread the oil on the affected area. OR you can try getting the aloe vera plant, cutting it open to get the goo out and spread it all over, OR you can also try palmer%26#039;s coca butter formula . All of these are good, and there are many products out there... seee which works for you best!! Try them all~!

Hi all, my first post to this site. I have dealt with keloids for 15 years, 2 on my face at the jawline and multiple on my shoulders and most recent 2 on my chest. Anyway, I purchased Preferon on a whim at Walgreens last week and started using it multiple times a day (3-5) and I have to say it REALLY works. The keloids on my face are changing color and flattening and the ones on my shoulder (more stubborn) are slowly fading. Anyway, I have tried EVERYTHING for my keloids and this is the only thing that works. The product comes in a stick (like a larger chap stick) and is easy to put on an not noticeable and has no smell. I think I will purchase 2 more, one for work and one for travel so that I can remain consistent in application.

How can i remove old scars from my body?

I have so many old scars from my childhood and they are still here! i want them gone|||There%26#039;s not much,but you can try this.(It worked with mine)Don%26#039;t stretch alot.Put a hot wash cloth on the scars every night.It should take about 1 month(depending on how big and how long ago).My doctor suggested this to me.

What is the quickest way/cream to get rid of scars?

i have a scar and i want it to go away quick and easy.. can you help me?|||E45 cream or Sudocreme|||Vitamin E (in the little bottle or pierce a Vit E softgel) placed on the scar. Keep doing it. You could cover it with a bandaide if u like to keep it from getting on anything. Just saturate it enough so that when the bandaide keeps touching the scar, it will be touching it with more vitamin E. Do it every day. If u don%26#039;t need a bandaide and it won%26#039;t get on your clothes, u can reapply a few times during the day, which sped up the process in my case. The E also heals the tissue beneath your skin. I burned my finger on the electric broiler on my stove and had a terrible scar purple and blue deep scar. Not anymore. Just keep doing it until the scar is gone on the surface and the tissue is healed.





The softgel can be easier to use if you aren%26#039;t going to be home. I pierced it, used it and wrapped it in saran wrap and stuffed it in my pocket to reuse in about 6 hours. I did this about four times a day. You might want to take a couple with you when u leave the house.


You can pierce it with your teeth. Just make a puncture.|||Lemon juice alone always stings and can cause more damage.





A few drops of lemon juice should be diluted with milk. Leave to set in a plate for 1 minute till it becomes a yogurt-like mixture. This amount is enough for the entire face for any one who is loaded with scarring. Leave it on ur scars for 20mins each day or over-night.





If you are too aware of the smell, you can mix the lemon drops with glycerin and rose water instead, which are skin softeners.|||To help you searching good acne care products I am forwarding you the reference website link that will give you the list of some excellent acne care products available in the market and also expert reviews on the product. the link is|||Putting lemon juice on any kind of blemish works wonders. I tried,and was disappointed by the lack of any kind of result..don%26#039;t get discouraged and keep doing it!! I learned quickly that after 3 days,it was like magic.. My scar was completely gone.

Does cocobutter work on big scars that you have had for a while?

I have big scars on my ankles from operations and I want them to go but I dont have the patience, it will take months for them to go even with the oils and years to fade naturally.





I just embrace them, they are part of who I am now.|||Not that I know of. Nutri-Rich Oil by Nutrimetics works wonders, heres the website:|||no . whats the scar from a dog bite.|||I don%26#039;t think so. There are some specific lotions that you can get from pharmacys that help to make scars fade (even scars that you have had for a while) but I think that cocoa butter isn%26#039;t effective enough.|||NO|||it might make it fade, but it will never go away fully. coco butter is more for small or light scars.

How to get rid of scars caused by your acne?

Is there any way to get rid of scars caused by your acne?|||It depends on the type of acne. Talk to a dermatologist. But what worked for me was tanning. 5 minutes in a tanning bed three times a week took care of most of my acne, especially on the back, chest, and shoulders. my dermatologist prescribed differin gel for my face and it worked to.|||FIRST, get in the habbit of squeezing your acne with your knuckles .. instead of your nails. that way it barely bruises.


SECOND: Put a little dab of cocoa butter on your scars (after you wash your face). and it will clear it right up. Make sure you put it on.. every night. and not too much.. otherwise it will clog your pores.


so this is what you do..


at night, you wash your face.. Put cocoa butter (only) and (directly) on the scars.. you wake up in the morning and wash it off with warm water :-)

What's A Good Concealer for under-eyes and acne scars?

I want a concealer that can hide my under eye circles and acne, but I dont want one that can break me out. I%26#039;m a newbie to makeup....





By the way, whats a good way to LOOK like you shed 5-10 pounds using makeup? Makeup techniques for glasses?|||Covergirl%26#039;s TruBlend TRUconceal works good for me. C:|||I don%26#039;t know how makeup could make you look skinnier, but I do know a very good concealer that may cost you.


It%26#039;s Makeup Forever brand and it%26#039;s under eye cocealer that works very well. I believe it%26#039;s around 20$ and is sold at most Sephoras.


There%26#039;s another concealer that%26#039;s Sephora%26#039;s brand that is just 12$, I bought it last week and I%26#039;m loving it.


I don%26#039;t know if you%26#039;ve ever heard of Sephora before, but it has alot of different high quality makeup lines and if you%26#039;re new to makeup, you can go in there and have somebody who works there make you over and explain and show you what suits your face, etc. That%26#039;s what I did for my 13th birthday and if i wouldn%26#039;t have, I still would have been wearing cheap makeup from a pharmacy (not that there%26#039;s anything wrong with that).


You can find a Sephora almost anywhere and there are store locations on their website.


Goodluck! :)|||Try Mac%26#039;s concealers. I especially like their Studio Sculpt concealer with spf 30 (30!!). It%26#039;s amazing with under eye and blemishes. It%26#039;s a little pricy if you%26#039;re new to makeup. Since you are a newbie, I%26#039;d suggest checking out drug stores like walmart, walgreens, target. Or go directly to higher end brands or dep. stores like sephora, mac, etc. Whatever suits you best and your budget. But drug stores would be a good starter if you want to experiment diff. makeupo and then build onto your collection..





Have fun!

You can even search %26#039;Best concealers%26quot; or something. There are very helpful makeup gurus-----|||It depends on the type of formula you would like to use. Stick concealer is nice. For under eyes you want to go a shade lighter than your foundation color. Swipe your finger on the stick, then pat on under your eyes. Set with iridescent powder. This works on acne as well.





Shading techniques vary and can help you shed weight using makeup. Keep in mind you want to accentuate your best features with a highlight.

How to get rid of scars?

My friend who is of caramel complexion, has scars from mostly mosquito bites, which she feels insecure about. What%26#039;s a quick and efficient way to get rid of these scars? Does anybody know?|||Unfortunately, bite scars like from mosquitos on folks with caramel or darker complexions are tough to remove. If you mean that they look lighter in color than the surrounding skin, which means the underlying skin where the melenoma which gives skin color is has been damaged. She can try a product called Mederma, which is sold in most pharmacies without a prescription. Places like Walmart and Walgreens also carry it. It works the best of anything else on scars and old bite marks. It may or may not help with hers. On the other hand, if the problem is with hyperpigmentation, meaning she has formed darker spots where the bites healed, a dermatologist can help out possibly with several different types of treatments. Folks with darker complexions have more problems with scars involving the pigmentation of the skin because they have more melanoma to deal with.


If she doesn%26#039;t want to go the medicine route, there are a lot of good products out there to cover spots. A skin care consultant should be able to direct your friend towards good products for her to try. Sorry, I don%26#039;t know of any particular brands there to suggest. But I have worked with people who needed or wanted to cover birthmarks and scars who used them and were happy with the results, so I know there are some. If you happen to know anyone in the theater, theatrical makeup also works well. I hope your friend is able to find something that works for her and helps her feel more comfortable. Good luck, you%26#039;re a good friend to be concerned.|||There is a cream that can be used called Hirudoid. I currently live in Asia, and you can just buy it without a prescription here, but in the US/Canada/UK you might need a prescription.

How do get rid of scars from previous pimples, and also how to get rid of pimples in general?

I%26#039;ve had problem skin growing up. It sucked because no matter the brand of cleansers and washes I bought at the store, they NEVER helped (Neutrogena, Clearasil, Clean and Clear, Proactiv and even higher end stuff that cost $30-$75). I used to have red spots all over my face that were from previous pimples and even when my skin was clear my skin still looked like crap and it looked like I still had acne. Until I found Alpha Hydrox on drugstore.com! I swear by this regimen! I can guarantee you%26#039;ll see results with these products and they%26#039;re all on drugstore.com. Wash only once a day with all this stuff, at night, and within a week you%26#039;ll see change. I felt so helpless with my skin until these products.





Alpha Hydrox Nourishing Cleanser, Biore%26#039;s Triple Action Astringent (I love this stuff. It%26#039;s the only toner that%26#039;s ever helped my skin), Alpha Hydrox Fade cream (this will make your skin really red for a little bit after applying it, but it will go away. It might even sting/burn slightly for a couple minutes as well but that will go away within a few days and it%26#039;s totally normal), and end it with an oil-free moisterizer WITH SPF and Alpha Hydrox has some that%26#039;s good and so does Biore. The active ingredient in the Fade Cream makes your skin sensitive to sunlight so you have to use a moisturizer that has SPF or your face will go red when you go outside. The Fade Cream is $11 but lasts for at least 2 months. I know this is long but I know how you feel and I really think you%26#039;d benefit from this stuff. Good luck!

What is the best way to remove old acne scars?

There is a relatively new treatment for acne called Levulan. It is a 20% ALA acid that is rub on your face and let sit for a few hours. Then you go under this Blu-U light for 10 minutes. It causes a reaction and your top layer of skin peels away in the first 48 hours and continues for like 4 days. Your skin becomes weird color and weird looking. In about 5 days your skin returns normal and your skin will be smoother and acne free....some people who have done this treatment claimed it has made their scars seem much less noticable.|||As far as I know there aren%26#039;t many options. There%26#039;s a laser surgery procedure that actually literally burns the skin off your face and allows it to regrow new tissue....sounds pretty painful though :p|||Well the first thing to ask is...





Is what you have truly an acne scar or post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation?





If it%26#039;s the hyper-pigmentation and over the counter products and time will do the trick for speeding up the fading process.





If what you truly have is a scar (same spot for over a year now) then perhaps a chemical peel from a dermatologist will do the trick. Chemical peels can be very expensive and the number of treatments depends on the severity of the scar.





Recap:


If your %26quot;scar%26quot; has only existed for less than a year, it may just be post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation (look up the term on webmd.com) then use any over the counter topical cream (neutrogena has a few products on the market...

What would be the best way to reduce the appearence of scars and stretch marks?

Scars like cuts from razors on legs|||Prescription creams containing Tretinoin, also called Retin-A, may help reduce the appearance of fresh stretch marks. These creams should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. This type of treatment will not eliminate stretch marks completely, and it won%26#039;t work on older marks that have already faded from red. A French treatment called Endermologie claims to reduce scarring. A machine with rollers and gentle suction is used to massage and exfoliate the affected area. Again, this won%26#039;t remove stretch marks, but it may enhance the overall appearance of the skin. Laser surgery is sometimes used to lessen the severity of stretch marks, but the results are mixed. Microdermabrasion has been somewhat more successful in changing the appearance of stretch marks. Both treatments are expensive and should only be performed by qualified doctors.|||Coca Butter|||coca butter keep massaging it in every day they will disappear.|||Try an over the counter product called Maderma.

Is the skin cream Mederma effective for treating acne scars? And does it have any adverse side effects?

Is there anything like people with a particular skin type or who are already undergoing medication cannot use mederma? Or--do you need a prescription to buy it?|||I don%26#039;t know about Mederma, but there is two things I use to eliminate scarring. First, I use vitamine E oil, which keeps fresh scars from hardening up. If the scars are external, get the 1000 IU capsules and break one open and apply it to the scar every day for a week, every week for a month. Then, to totaly erase most scars I use arnica oil. Usually this comes in a dilute form (mixed with olive oil). This form is, in my opinion, too weak to be worth the cost. I get the arnica absolute from the essential oil company online. I use a toothpick to dip into the bottle and rub onto the scar. It takes time, but is quite effective. And, you don%26#039;t need a prescription. A one dram bottle, while small, will last you six months to a year. I%26#039;ve totally eliminated scarring from my gall bladder operation over a 1 1/2 year period.

TREATMENT


I%26#039;ve had incredible results simply massaging with essential oils. Oils such as olive, sweet almond, grape seed and lavender (it needs diluting as too strong used neat) are good and have been used by skin specialists to successfully treat and cure acne. They do not clog and, cause breakouts and surprisingly, lessen skin%26#039;s over production of oils. Rid me of acne and healed ALL of my many (some severe) skin conditions and removed all blemishes and scars and gave me a totally clear, healthy and radiant skin.





It%26#039;s best to thoroughly and quite vigorously massage into skin. In just two days you will start seeing results. Skin will start clearing and will tighten, look and feel smoother and firmer.


If focus massage on any scars, blemishes and make massage more vigorous this will greatly minimize them. Overtime massage will rid face of them all.


Oils are perfect moisturizers. Do not remove. Simply splash face with water and dab dry with tissues.

My acne scars weren%26#039;t horrible. They probably weren%26#039;t even that noticeable after I put on my foundation. However, I certainly noticed them and that was all it took to bother ME.





If you%26#039;ve got acne scars, you may feel a bit helpless. But you don%26#039;t have to because there are alternatives to getting rid of acne scars. And you CAN do something about it.





So what do you do about it? Well, there is totally a solution ... actually there are many.





These are NATURAL treatments.





Now, just because you hear the word %26quot;natural%26quot;, I don%26#039;t want you to shake your head and think you need to just buy some over the counter miracle cream. These remedies WORK! And you%26#039;ll find that by consistently using them, your acne scars WILL fade just like mine did.





So without further ado, here are my favorite natural acne scar solutions:





Vitamin E


Don%26#039;t underestimate the power of this healing lotion. You can get it at any drugstore in topical form. I have a HUGE bottle of it under my sink :) . Vitamin E naturally heals scars by moisterizing the damaged skin. Use it everyday to fade away acne scars.





Cocoa Butter


This one should be used carefully. If your acne is not already under control, cocoa butter does pose the threat of additional breakouts. However, if you%26#039;re using the 3 Day Cure technique and your skin is finally clear, this is a powerful healing tool. Cocoa Butter will soften skin, lighten the scars and make them fade into nothing. I love this one. By the way, Cocoa Butter also works great on fading stretch marks.





Honey


Okay, this is totally gonna change your life! Honey works overtime on acne %26amp; acne scars. Yes, Honey! When I first learned about this natural remedy, I was pretty bewildered. The sound of it alone is confusing. Honey is a sticky, sugary substance. How can it possibly clear up skin?





Honey kills bacteria while simultaneously lessens the red look of irritated skin. The acidity in the honey evens out your skin tone, shrinks current pimples and will give your skin a softer feel. Listen, I know you may be skeptical of this solution. I was at first, then I tried it. This natural acne scar remedy works great.





Lemon


Lemon will help clear up acne as well as fade acne scars. Plus your face will smell like a freshly shined harwood floor, so that%26#039;s a plus ;)





The acidity in the juice will lighten the redness of the scars and balance your skin%26#039;s pH levels to prevent future breakouts. Give it a shot.

How can i get rid of my acne scars?

Sand blasting worked for me.|||Spinywolf,


Acne scars can be very embarrassing. Even if you have good looks, these scars can rip you some of the precious praises from the other people. This problem (comedone) is a combination of hormonal and skin condition ( block in the sweat glands, infection, hygiene). The best approach would be to do plastic surgery procedure called dermabrasion. You have to undergo several visits depending on the deepness of the problem. But on your part, you need to do some prophylactic approaches: 1 - Hands off. Do not try to prick or squeeze the acne with your hands. It will just aggravate the matter, it causes infections. 2 - Wash your face with warm water and mild soap such as Tender Care, 3x a day. It will open up the pores. 3 - Take Minocyline or Doxycycline 100mg - 1 cap once a day for 2 weeks. It controls the infection. 4 - Apply Retin A (Tretinoin) gel at bedtime. Preferably after washing the face. This is vit. A which is needed by the skin. and 5 - Avoid fatty foods. Hope this will help you...|||there are many peels like glycolic peels that take half hour per session (4 session in total) that really helps, for more info.. take a look for effective way to remove acne scars...|||try this make up Derma blend


this is for dark scar%26#039;s, to cover up tatoo%26#039;s, it is even good enough for burn victim%26#039;s.





you wont be able to see through this makeup like other concealer%26#039;s and they have like 50 different shades. so you can find the perfect color to match your skin perfectly. they have a lighter version for your face. and a heavier version for the rest of the body





go to www.dermablend.com or you can go to a dept. store like macy%26#039;s or filenes or anywhere that has makeup counter%26#039;s.





hope this was helpful|||Thats quite difficult. You could try something called %26quot;Clearasil Scar Care%26quot; It has helped me tone them down a bit. Using really good skin care techniques from here on out will help them lighten up also. If you get any more pimples, please please please don%26#039;t pester them. Just put a dab of make up on them, and leave it alone. Acne scars come from constant poking and proding of the acne. If you just leave it alone, it will go away in due time. Everyone gets acne at some point or another... so just keep your face clean, avoid touching it frequently, and try to be gentle with your skin, expecially on the face.

How to get rid of acne and acne scars..?

Is there any easy and quick way to get rid of it.





Any advice will be appreciated :)|||go to the doctors
