My suggestion would be to go to a cosmetic surgeon. There are many new treatments now for Acne Scars and they can improve them greatly. Make sure you go to a Board Certified

Murad got a Vit C mask system that help repair damaged skin from sun and acne. They also have a good acne system. The other system I like is Bliss the have a cleanser called cleansing milk, and a steep cleaning mask that helps get the surface dirt from blackheads, and dry up pimples. Go to Sephora, they have several different systems, and they will usually give you samples to try first! Some of the best stuff has Vit C. For me I use some Murad, some bliss, and a few others. I found blending the best of different lines help my skin not dry out so much!
Reply:Arbonne's Clear Advantage acne line works great! The website has before and after pics of real clients who have used the products. Everything is backed with a 45 day money back guarantee.
Reply:Acne can be embarrassing at the best of times. I would try going into a site called Epinions.com and find out what users are saying about various products. Good hygene which involves regular bathing helps a lot. Good internal health is a major contributor to healthy skin. Try and stay away from the junk foods. I鈥檝e also had good luck with a product called Acnezine. Try this source I found for more help: Good Luck

Reply:drink lots of water. i have no idea why water helps but it does, its amazing, water helps alot you still will get alittle acne tho, in the morning wash your face with some kind of cleanser, then tonic, then anti-oil, then cream, then after school wash your face with water but no soap and scrub gentley with a towel. this gets off all the dirt and oil. try not to touch, pick or pop acne. that just leaves scars, then at night wash your face with some kind of cleanser, then tonic, then anti-oil, then cream. if this doesnt help after about a week, go to the dermotolegest . try using ProActiv cover up. it really helps heal during the day too.


Laser acne scar removal?

I was reading something about using laser to get rid of acne scars. How does it work? Does it work good? Does anyone have any experience of it? Lastly, how much? Please share. Thanks.

Technology has come up with some amazing inventions, some in the field of medicine. In acne treatments laser resurfacing, the laser is set to different intensities to penetrate the skin according to the texture of the skin and the severity of the scarring.

A good acne scar product to invest in?

I don't have a lot of acne. Just acne scars from when i was in the middle of puberty. there on my cheecks. I don't have too much money to spend on products but i'm willing to spend 20 dollars or a little more on this. Are there any good products? It has to be store bought.
A good acne scar product to invest in?
Bio oil. You need to use it religiously to get any kind of result, though.


Aside from that, I highly suggest paw paw ointment. It's a petroleum based ointment that you can use for scars as well as just about anything else. It's cheap but again, you have to use it three times a day, every day, for three months religiously in order to get any kind of result.
A good acne scar product to invest in?
Unfortunately you are not going to see very good results unless you spend a little extra and see a professional. They can do laser or microdermabrasion that will really get rid of the scars. Many places will give you a complimentary consultation to discuss your options, so maybe they could even recommend an over the counter solution for you.
Reply:buy neutrogena microdermabrasion, i think thats the best acne treatment, but it costs 34 dlls.

unfortunately, NO.


you may need to see a dermatologist to skin resurfacing or if they are that bad, maybe grafting, laser...

Reply:I dont know if they will go away 100% but they should fade in time.
Reply:laser resurfacing can help remove those scars.
Reply:Your best bet is to get some facial laser treatments for the pitting scars. You need something more than just a surface treatment. This procedure will leave your face red and sensitive for a short while, but the results will be amazing and well worth it. A bit costly, so start saving now. Have this done by a lisenced professional. You can generally find them working in doctor's offices, in particularily comestic surgeons offices. Good luck.

What is the best acne scar removal treatment?

I have dark scars/spots from previous acne. I am tired of having to wear so much make-up to cover it up! I dont get acne that often anymore, but I do have oily skin. I've tried pro-active and other on the spot acne treatments but they don't fade my scars at all.

What is the best acne scar removal treatment?
Scars are hyperpigmentation of the skin. Go to a spa in your area with good reviews, ask for their website, and also seach them on the web, you can find reviews there. They most likely would have facials and spot treatment, recommeneded from the Esthetician for you. Dermalogica works for me for daily care, and they have spot treatment medicine also. Good luck!
Reply:maybe mederma might help?? it's for reducing the apperance of scars so i dont know why it wouldnt work on acne scars, too!!

1))microdurmabration every few day! works and makes ur skin look and feel so good!


2))medurma! its a scare treatment,it obvesly is gonna work sence its made for gettin rid of scars lol


3))vitamen e!





hope i helped!


xoxo!
Reply:If you want to stick with DIY home treatments, I would suggest Olay Regenerist Microdermabrasion %26amp; Peel System at nights. Then finish off with Olay Daily Regenerating Serum and Night Recovery Moisturizing Treatment. Just because the skin is oily doesn't mean it doesn't need moisture. I found out that products like Proactive series are harsh over time. Now that my skin has changed after pregnancies, the Olay products have been much more helpful at fading out any blemishes and dark spots. Good luck to you!

Acne Scar Solutions...?

okay well i had some breakouts, and i went to a dermatologist and all the exterior acne has gone away now that it has been a few months on his treatment, but now from the popping of previous zits and pimples, i have some scarring left and it's really ugly! i dont know how to get rid of it!! helpp!!
Acne Scar Solutions...?
The simple miracle solution: Egg facial.





Take one egg yolk (works best when cold and I find that cage-free brown eggs have thicker yolks) and spread around face. Wait for it to dry completely and peel off. It's a bit messy to peel off, so i would do it over a paper towel or the trash can even. Just once a night for a month.





You'll see results immediately. This also helps get rid of wrinkles. A word of warning, don't watch anything funny while wearing the mask. Hurts like a mother if you smile and crack the mask up.





Good luck!
Acne Scar Solutions...?
trust me i have the same thing and its no fun! the only thing you can do is just wait it out...i know it sux tho. some techniques that can help a little would be applying some fresh lemon juice on ur face every night, over night and rinse it off in the morning. look into chemical peels...they can be expensive and irritating but they do the job. it might take you a couple procedures to actually see a diff tho. drink lots of water and stay outta the sun can also help too

Acne Scar. Which product is best?

Ok my face is clearing up finally, but now I have all these acne scars. What is the best store bought product for my problem? Another question is, when should I use it because i use Differin Gel and I dont want my face to have a reaction because of using two products. Serius answers only. Please.
Acne Scar. Which product is best?
For those who are suffering from acne will probably spent countless hours and large amounts of money looking for an acne treatment that really works. But the problem is there is no real cure for acne, so for the most part; any acne treatment that you purchase is going to be a temporary fix to an unsightly problem. You can't cure acne; however you can stop it before it reaches the surface of your face. Whether you are looking for a cure for teenage pimples or you need and adult acne treatment, the real solution to getting rid of your problem is stopping pimples before they start.

Acne Scar Vitamin E Gel?

Where can i get this Vitamin E Gel and what type of brand are they. Can i get them at CVS or Rite Aid? Can you give me a link for CVS or RiteAId or anywhere xD...i have a lot of acne scars and it does not seem to dissapear =[
Acne Scar Vitamin E Gel?
I don't think vitamin e would be good to put on the face--and there is no evidence it heals scars. Putting oil on your face will make you break-out again.





I suggest using an lotion with acids in it.. such as an alpha hydroxy lotion. Get one with at least 7-10% AHA. I got one at the 99 cent store by my house. A huge bottle.





Anyhow, it dries your skin out and turns it over. The quicker your skin turns over-..the quicker new skin grows. Depending on how deep your scars are--they will eventually fade a little.





Otherwise, go to your doctor and ask for a prescription for Retin A.. That will help your skin peel even quicker.





Good luck.

Vitamen E will help promote regeneration and can fade scars.





Just get a vitamen E liquid gell and apply it to the areas where the scaring is and continue to do so. It will be almost if not just as effective as the much more expensive creams that reduce the look of scars and at a fraction of the cost.
Reply:Any Chinese pharmacy can get a cream called natural pearl lotion. It does this exact thing- reduces the appearance of scars, whether they were from acne, stretch marks, etc. !
Reply:Sure are. Try using Mederma. Mederma for kids has a better scent to it than regular Mederma. It takes a while for it to work, but it really does work. I had a terrible scar on my leg before, and not its hardly noticeable.

Acne scar treatment for my 15 year old daugthter including lasers? or dermabrasion?

So my daughter keeps asking me to take her to a specialist in beverly hills to get rid of her 2 minor acne scars that she has got from picking them is their any way i can tell her something or do someting about it? its affecting her life and her self confidence so anyone? prefferably specialist
Acne scar treatment for my 15 year old daugthter including lasers? or dermabrasion?
Her skin is very young, and the scars will mostly fade. A little Mederma can be helpful. I know it is hard at that age, but does she have any idea what "could" happen with laser treatment? Lasers create very bad scars on some people, and with her being so young...I wouldn't even attempt it. Plus nothing can get rid of scars, all they can do is flatten and lighten them. Let her skin develop, and I am sure they will fade on their own. Try some concealer and the Mederma, and see where that ends up. Laser treatments can range from 600-1200 a visit, and like I said the side effects could be more devastating than what she already has.
Acne scar treatment for my 15 year old daugthter including lasers? or dermabrasion?
Have you spoken to a dermatologist about Retin-A treatment? My niece had really bad acne scars and a couple weeks after starting Retin-A (cream applied 1x day at bedtime) her scarring had faded drastically. It also prevented new breakouts. Retin A is a derivative of Vitamin A and promotes cell regeneration, thus your old/scarred skin will peel for a few days but after that the new skin will start growing in. There is a generic brand that works equally well (Trentonin) and it is covered by most, if not all, insurance companies. By the way, if she is still having acne breakouts, as teens do, it may not be cost effective to have laser, etc done this early. I'd consider treating the source first. If these 2 minor acne scars are effecting her life as you put it, then may I suggest she see a therapist instead to talk about her self esteem issues, which are probably deeper than her skin.

Reply:Hi there!





One of the most common acne scar treatment is laser resurfacing, or the application of soft and highly focused light on the surface of the skin to "burn" acne. However, this approach is only advisable for minor acne types like blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples. Laser resurfacing is actually the closest literal equivalent of actual "acne removal" technique that is currently available. This is because laser resurfacing will actually remove acne. Since burning would naturally produce scars, people are quite hesitant to avail of this acne removal method. But such worries are unfounded. Laser resurfacing also includes a post-burning treatment that would stimulate the instant growth of collagen.

i have a peel (nothing to big tho) for my acne scars its supposed 2 make them less visible but if i do that when i go 2 the dermatologist will it make it harder to actually fully remove them?
Acne Scar Treatment?
I would see the derm first. As him if it will even do anything. Some of those OTC things just don't do a thing. If you use it first, the derm may not be able to do anything to you for 6-8 weeks after you did the treatment. There is an OTC scar filler by Neutragena, I think, that works pretty well. It just fills the scar in and makes it less visible.

Go to a Merle Norman Cosmetic Studio and ask the Beauty Adviser to talk with you about their "Three Steps to Beauty" products.





I don't work at Merle Norman, I don't sell it, and I don't own stock in the company.





I DO use it. My Mom has used Merle Norman since the early 1960s and started me on Merle Norman when I started wearing make-up. My Mom is nearly 70 and she looks like she's in her 40s or 50s. People are often surprised when I admit that I'm in my 40s because they say I look a lot younger than I really am.





A friend of mine at University had bad acne scarring and an on-going battle with acne. I introduced her to Merle Norman and within a few months her break-outs stopped and the scarring started to heal. To look at her now, you'd never believe that she had problems with acne when she was younger.





Merle Norman isn't cheap but it is less expensive than all the skin peels and trips to the dermatologist. Give it a try and see if it works for you.





Good luck!

Acne scar URGENT?
You can try Neutrogena scar peel! It's a scrub that you apply to your face and leave on for about 10 minutes I believe and then you wash it away. You have to use it daily I think...but it's worth it. It's not very costly at all, and it is reccomended by leading dermatologists.





Also, even if your face is slightly oily, make sure that you apply an appropriate moisturizer to your face before applying the foundation.





Mary Kay is a good product to use in foundations, bases, and powders.

Otherwise.....go to Wal-Mart and buy a facial mud mask or netrugena chemical peel or any netrugena products thats for scars...they have tons of products in stores always! GOOD LUCK!





btw: rememeber to wash your face only two times a day with a foaming facil wash or regualr good facewash.

ANnoying acne scar..?
Don't pick at dark skin. Picking can leave dark spots on the skin that can take a while to fade away. It can also cause keloid scars.





Do wash your pillowcase every night and always use clean face towels if you have acne–prone skin. Dirty towels and pillowcases can harbor bacteria and germs that can make acne worse.





Don't pick, pop, squeeze, or otherwise mess with your skin. Squeezing blemishes or whiteheads can lead to infection or scarring. It almost always makes the acne you have worse. You should never tangle with a whitehead as they'll go away on their own in a few days anyway. If you have a pimple with a yellow, pus–filled center and you must pop it,


see How to Pop A Pimple “ (On the same page)

• Gently wash the face twice daily with mild soap and pat dry. Do not scrub.Scrubbing irritates the skin


• Use "noncomedogenic" cosmetics and toiletries.


• Avoid things that aggravate acne such as grease or oils.


• Allow acne products enough time to work. With some treatments, it may take as long as 8 weeks for a show improvement.


• Some acne products increase the skins’ sensitivity to sunlight. Use protective clothing and sunscreen.”

Reply:My brother had the same trouble with Acne he used a product call eryacne wich you can get from the doctor on a script it is a facial cream that you apply once a day and it realy helped his skin but everyones diffrent i suppose, i would go to the GP and ask for their advice they can run a test on your skin and advise you where to go from there, unless of course you have about $2000.00 for laser surgery.








Good luck


and if ppl are going to judge you by your skin then they are probbably not worth knowing anyway!!!!

Reply:a teaspoon of honey and the same of cinnamon for the pimples and an aloe plant that you can buy for a good price will help any scar and it will last a life time if you take care of it! the honey and cinn just apply a thin layer before bed let dry and go to sleep wash off in the morning.
Reply:Maybe you can get a home acid peel. But really bad pock marks are for life.





But look at that Iranian reporter from CNN. She had the moon on her face and when she got married all of her acne scars disappeared. Maybe write a letter to CNN to see what she had done. I don't think it was a home treatment though.





Don't hurt yourself or make it worse with some Nuage lunatic concoction.
Reply:I hear that putting honey on top of a pimple and then putting a band-aid on it over night helps and then they should be gone in the morning. I haven't tried it but if you do tell me if it works or not!
Reply:Hmm...that's a tough one. There are obviously over-the-counter treatments that can be bought affordably. Anything with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide kills acne bacteria.





It's good to pair bacteria-fighting medication with a good exfoliate. Salt works well as it will dry up oil, just be sure that you still use an oil-free moisrutizer with it or your skin will become too dry and get irritated.





Scarring is admittedly harder to treat. Things like cocoa butter are often used to lessen the appearance of scars, and they are likely to fade a bit on their own over time.





I hope I was of some help...

Reply:Before Using Isotretinoin (accutane) / Accutane and Pregnancy.





In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For isotretinoin, the following should be considered:





1. Allergies:


Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to isotretinoin, acitretin, etretinate, tretinoin, or vitamin A preparations.





2. Pregnancy:


Isotretinoin must not be taken during pregnancy because it causes birth defects in humans.





3. Breast-feeding


Isotretinoin should not be used during breast-feeding because it may cause unwanted effects in nursing babies.





4. Children


Children may have the side effects of back, joint, or muscle pain more often than adults.





5. Older adults


Older people may have a greater risk of problems and adverse effects when taking isotretinoin.

Acne scar treatment PLEASE!?

I am 14 and I used to have bad acne, but since I have been washing my face twice a day and using a reccomended disinfectant it has slowed down considerably. Unfortunately, I still have some acne scarring oh my forehead. It isn't really bad, but it is noticable and I want to get rid of it. Anybody have a solution?
Acne scar treatment PLEASE!?
Skin is a self healing organ (the largest organ in the body), and with assistance and treatment for acne it can recover from even serious acne outbreaks. We have assembled information about how you can have the best complexion possible and stay away from products that are potentially harmful or a waste of time and money.





What can your Skin do?


1. It repairs itself.


2. It is wonderfully elastic and pliable.


3. It registers sensations with such specificity that it lest the brain differentiate among them.


4. It not only feels but also remembers sensations.


5. It is incredibly resilient.


6. It is largely self-cleaning and rarely suffers from lasting infection.


7. It can let in certain important elements even while protecting you from others.


8. Most astonishing of all, our skin is capable of holding in the entire , huge amount of liquid that flows through our bodies.

Fast acne scar removal?

I recently used AcneFree Severe that has just healed my acne like NOTHING else ever has. But now I'm left with scars everywhere. They're still new, so I assume they're easier to get rid of at this point. What's the fastest way to fade these scars without it costing a ton of money? How long does your method take before the scars are gone? Thanks!!!

Get something to exfoliate your skin, and also get a moisturizing fading cream.

Try regular exfoliation with a facial scrub...just don't over do it. Then use a vitamin E cream or cocoa butter and rub it into the scars.
Reply:i heard Vitamin E capsules breaking them open and rubbing them on scars..but i'm not sure if that is a myth or not.
Reply:go to a chiropractor or some doctor with a low intensity laser. Its healing up my acne and acne scares like magic! Best thing its cheap and NO side effects.....well accept results. Best of luck!
Reply:Scars heal at their own rate...for years. That's the bad news.





The worse news is that acne "scars" tend to be pits in the face, as opposed to more traditional raised tissue scars. Going by Edward James Alamos(sp) and his famous mug, you *may* be stuck with them. Talk to your dermatologist.
Reply:Well, I don't know if this is exactly what you're looking for, but ask your dermatologist about a face cleanser called M.D. Forte. It's a cleanser that you massage into your dry face for about 3 minutes and then wash it off. It's almost like a mini microdermabrasion where you're removing the dead layers of skin. I would think that it would help with the removal of acne scars :]
Reply:Regula Glyolic facials or the cheaper alternative is purchasing a facial moisturiser that contains Glycolic Acid, each time you apply it it will gradually improve and fade your scars- you will still be left with "pitting" but that is a side effect of acne.





Most Glycolic Acid creams retail for about AU $100-$150 so they are quite cheap considering the great results they have

I had a problem with acne scars, too. Try this...





Try a little natural micro-dermabrasion.





A teaspoon of baking soda with anything, yogurt, smashed banana, warmed honey with a few drops of oil, rub gently all over your face to exfoliate, rub a bit harder on the scars.





You'll see a noticable improvement immediately. However, each use will take away just a tiny bit more scarring.

Acne scar products????
Personally, ive read alot on acne scars as i have quite a few left over too. What ive heard to do is apply acv(apple cider vinegar, u can buy it at ur grocery store for under 2 bucks) and mix it half and half with warm water. Then dab the diluted acv with a cotton ball and apply it on your scar. Also i have heard that drinking it is great too but it might taste a bit sour :P . Also another great thing to do is go make an appointment with your dermatologist and get her/him to prescribe u a tropical gel called "retin a micro". As ive heard and read, u need to apply just a lil' dab on the scar for about twice a day, preferably morning and night. However the downfall to using retin-a micro is that it will peel your skin - but thats how it works. Using retin-a micro will make ur scars get better before it gets worst. tho retin a micro wont work over night, i am more then certain u will achieve decent results from using it atleast about 2-3 weeks. It takes a bit of time, but im positive that if you use this tropical and dab some acv dilutd with water, those maarks will fade in time. gd luck :)
Reply:Try to use orange peel : apply it on affected areas.

Best acne/scar treatment for a pre-teen?

I have combination skin, and very mild acne(?). I get a couple pimples here and there, but they're usually inflammatory cystes/nodules and leave deep scars. Also, I sometimes I get annoying whiteheads. Gross. And when I get the inflammatory, huge zits, they're front and center in my forehead/T-Zone. Fun. NOT. So basically, I get annoying zits all the time, and I have a treasure map on my forehead. I need a good acne treatment for a pre-teen (12) that isin't expensive. Please, no ProActiv. It's a tad too expensive. I'm looking for something along the lines of Clearasil, Clean %26amp; Clear, etc, and exactly what to get from them. Also, if anyone knows a quick fix for old AND new acne scars; quick being 1-2 months or less; any reccomendations would be appreciated. Thank you.
Best acne/scar treatment for a pre-teen?
HONEY I USE THESE TIPS WITH ANY AND EVERY PERSON I DO MAKEUP FOR IN THE THEATRE DEPT. AT SCHOOL, INCLUDING CLEANSING MY OWN SKIN!





When it comes to the face, heat is the biggest key. Heat creates an atmosphere for your pores to expand. A hot rag (as hot as you can stand it) across the face is the best bet. As far as a topical treatment, you need to invest in a good scrub and a very fine toner. I tell people this all the time that I do makeup for. Here are some key things to remember when looking for cleansers:





1. A good scrub needs to have some sort of exfoliant (i.e. microbeads, pumice grains, etc.) in it. Once you have applied the hot rag to your face and opened up your pores, the scrub is used to get deep down into the pores and clean them out.





2. In a good scrub, stay away from anything that has a lot of soap or fragrance to it. Fragrance = additives that probably will makes things worse. Your main ingredient when looking for a scrub is salicylic acid. Salicylic acid acts as an antibacterial to cleanse deep to break up the blackheads and fight the bacteria causing them.





3. A good toner should be found because once the skin is clean, the toner is used to tighten the cleansed pores to minimalize the entrance of future bacteria. And sadly to say it (but get over it), A TONER DOES STINK! Its made primarily of alcohol, so it will stink! Get over it! It's worth it!





4. Lastly, and a lot of people don't think about this, find a light lotion with an added sunscreen (at least SPF 15). You want a light lotion (nothing fancy or fragrancy) with a sunscreen to prevent dryness from the toner and the sunscreen will help protect from sun damage (obviously!).





Always remember to catch blackheads before they start (before they become pimples)! And for the love of God: DO NOT PICK AT A PIMPLE IF YOU GET ONE! Picking only creates more infection from the bacteria on your hands....and most importantly: it's just GROSS! Some brands to try for a scurb or toner would be: Oil of Olay, Biore`, Clinique, Clean %26amp; Clear, Clearasil.......just to name a few! Also remember to drink lots of water to help keep down ure intake of oils. Oh and p.s. to guys who are reading this: just because girls use it in a commercial DOES NOT mean that a guy cannot use it too! A girl would like it a lot more to see a guy with a clean face and a cabinet full of girly skin care stuff, than Mister Zit next door! I'm gay....trust me on this!

Acne scar removal treatments by dermatologist??

Are there any procedures that can be done for my acne scarred skin. Most of my scars are on my cheeks and it is just really horrible looking. I am so young, I'm only 18 and my skin is ruined with these marks. Can anyone tell me of some treatments that can be done for my skin and how much it will cost and where to get it done. I would even go to a plastic surgeon if there is a way for them to get rid of my scars. I would like whatever they do to be permanent! Please let me know the best thing to have done!
Acne scar removal treatments by dermatologist??
. Radiance Medical Clinic makes an AWESOME CREAM! They won't like totally remove them but they will lighten them and if you call them they are dermatologists so I guess they would like reccomend something to COMPLETELY remove them. Yea just call lol My friend reccomended them. They make their own line of Harmony creams. They are all NATURAL and they REALLY WORK! They have some for acne and all kinds of different kinds. And they even customize it for you - like if you want a medical level moisturizer then you can ask them to use like more lavendar if you like that scent. If you don't live in their area they can ship it to you!





Their number is:





301-512-1239





When I called I just asked about Harmony Creams. I worked with Jasmine Gulati. I guess you could say you got their number off of Yahoo! Answers or something - maybe they'd give you like a discount if you say somebody reffered you over Yahoo! Answers?





Good luck! You seriously HAVE to try these people I love my skin so much now. I am like telling this to everyone because they seriously work I love their products so much! You will see this like all over Yahoo! Answers by now because that is how much I love it! lol and if u ask them they'll prbably customize to your skin type if they can like analyze it or w/e.


Acne Scar Fading??????

I have a few dark spots on my face from pimples but the thing is is i dont know if I should use the Acne Mark Fading peel or anything else like that because I am using the acne perscription Differin. I really dont have "bad acne" i just have a few bumps and pimples at times so the scars show up. My face also can be sensitive. Please Help!
Acne Scar Fading??????
i have the same problem, this is my experience of how might help you to relieve the acne scars





1, every nite have your shower head (preferably with a little bit of water pressure) spraying your face up close with warm water.


do this for 5-8 mins for each side of the cheek. this helps the blood circulation of your skin cells plus fasten the healing process of your scar.





2. drink adequate amount of water as the water is needed for cell repairs





3. keep your skin moisturized is another KEY factor in this process.





4. gently massage your face a little while you performed the first task with the shower head.





personally i would also recommend one product


the total turnaround mask of clinique is quite amazing indeed. i had a scar a month ago and i used the mask twice a week and it has almost went away completely.


do it before your sleep and dont forget to moisturize afterwards. also make sure you have at least 7 hours of sleep every nite.


good luck!
Acne Scar Fading??????
I'm using Differin too. It took time for the red marks to fade.


I was looking at photos of me from March and the marks just looked awful, compared to some pictures from July/August....quite a difference.





The Differin can really dry your skin out (the gel was more drying than the cream) so make sure you use a moisturizer after washing the Differin off.





Just give it time and keep using it religiously, the marks do fade.

Best acne/scar treatment for a pre-teen?
Getting the cystic acne is an internal problem meaning you need to go see a dermatologist. They can give you perscriptions (pills, creams) to treat you from the inside so that you dont get the cysts and nodules on the outside ;) All the over the counter stuff is great for white heads but not something as serious as cysts! Please go see a dermatologist now so that your scars dont get any worse! I didnt start seeing a dermatologist until I was 29 yrs old and have the acne scars to show for it! Im now on Accutane for my acne which is basically the last resort of acne medications due to the serious side effects. Your young yet so there is a great chance that your acne scars will go away on their own....but in the mean time try using some vitamin e gel on your face. I have to resort to laser treatments when Im done taking the Accutane to have my scars removed. Good luck!!

2) ProActiv I saw a testominal that this young lady who used it for 2 years?? She wasn't satisified until she had to go under laser surgey which helped reducing the acne scars


3) Acne scars will never ever go away since you keep picking, scratching, squeezing on it or rubbing it


4) Acne doesn't appear late, that's on some cases, I think what you eat or drink has an effect on it such as caffine


5) Wash your face day and night, to unclog pores, remove bacteria in skin, reduce oil, refine %26amp; tone skin


6) Eat healthy, avoid touching, scratching your face, excerising helps.


7) Drink 8-10 cups of water, your bodsy loses up to 1.5 L water in your body. the other cups would help you take out those bad stuff in your body in urine and sweat.





I do have acne just like you and a few scars. I eat mostly veggies and drink lots water.

Try chemical peels. Cheap and 15% chance of pain.

Reply:I use Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Facial Moisturizer with Alpha/Beta Hydroxy Acids. It smoothes the tones of your skin and reduces the acne scaring. I also used this moisturiser when I had a knee reconstruction to heal the scars and they are almost non-existent now. Palmer's also have a Skin Success line that is more expensive, but the active ingredients are basically the same.





Try the Cocoa Butter Facial Moisturiser first, and if you have no joy, then move on to the Palmer's Skin success products





For any breakouts, I use tea tree oil. Just dab a bit on the affected area.
Reply:Retinoic acid would clear away the acne. It also causes mild skin peel which can remove the acne scars.





Use chemical skin peel, this would remove the superficial dermis and reveal the new, whiter, smoother skin underneath. Aside from remove scars and blemishes caused by acne, it will whiten and even out skin tone.





Check our website as we offer a safe and effective chemical peel that you can do at home.

Acne scar help?
Have a Doctor take a look at it.If they are acne scar's.A chemical peel work's great if you have the money.
Acne scar help?
I use Neosporin. It always works for me.
Reply:i can relate to this one... there are a lot of treatments. if its not that bad then a simple microdermabrasion should work.. they zap away the top layer of your skin... chemical peel is for those with worst conditions.. the best thing to use it neutrogena. They have products that peel the top layer of your skin. Cheap as 10 buks... unless you can afford medical treatments. But Neutrogena is safer, less severe and cheaper. good luck :-)
Reply:try using a vitamin E cream
Reply:Mederma!! It's #1 doctor- %26amp; pharmacist-recommended product for scars including acne scars, burn scars %26amp; many more!!


http://www.mederma.com





If you prefer natural solution..





1. Lemon juice is natural bleach and helps in lightening the scars and blemishes of the skin.





2. Rosehip seed oil is also another home remedy which reduces acne scars. It is mostly used in the cosmetic products and used for acne scarring, facial scarring, surgical scars, sun damage, premature aging, burn marks etc. This oil should be massaged twice on the acne scars daily.





3. Application of Aloe Vera gel/juice to the fresh wounds prevents the formation of permanent scars.





4. One of the home remedy is that ice cubes can be rubbed on the acne scars for ten to fifteen minutes.





5. Vitamin E is considered best for the healthy glowing skin. Application of vitamin E oil or capsule to the scar will completely vanish the scar in few weeks.





6. The most effective remedy for the scars is application of honey several times a day. It will give a natural glow to the skin and will remove all scars.





GOOD LUCK!!
Reply:chemical peeling is good but after complete resolution of the active inflammation..


Acne Scar Help!!!?

I have a very important meeting in 10 days and I need to get rid of these scars fast.And I cant pay for any fancy techniques at a doctor's office.Does anyone know how to get rid of acne scars in 10 days.It's also very important because I breakout with acne from wearing makeup.The scars are on my forehead and my chin.PLEASE HELP!!!
Acne Scar Help!!!?
There's no quick fix for 10 days. Mederma can help, but it takes MONTHS of using it to dramatically reduce scars. See a dermatologist and avoid makeup the next several days if you can help it to prevent new breakouts.

Aloe Vera has helped reduce my scars. I don't know if it will give you the EXACT results you want in 10 days, though it will help.
Reply:Scars from acne can seem like double punishment 鈥?first you had to deal with the pimples, now you have marks as a reminder.





Is there anything you can do?





To understand scars, you need to understand acne. Acne refers to lesions or pimples caused when the hair follicles (or "pores") on the skin become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. A plugged follicle is the perfect place for bacteria to grow and create the red bumps and pus-filled red bumps known as pimples. (The usual bacteria that causes acne is called Propionibacterium acnes.) Hormonal changes during the teen years often cause increased oil production that contributes to the problem.





Acne comes in different forms:





mild acne, which refers to the whiteheads or blackheads that most of us get at various times


moderately severe acne, which includes red inflamed pimples called papules and red pimples with white centers called pustules


severe acne, which causes nodules 鈥?painful, pus-filled cysts or lumps 鈥?to appear under the skin


Most serious scarring is caused by the more severe forms of acne, with nodules more likely to leave permanent scars than other types of acne. The best way to deal with acne is to get treatment soon after the acne appears to prevent further severe acne and more scarring. If you have nodules, see your doctor or dermatologist for treatment.





If you have serious scarring from previous bouts with acne, there are some things you can do. One form of treatment is laser resurfacing, which can be done in the doctor's or dermatologist's office. The laser removes the damaged top layer of skin and tightens the middle layer, leaving skin smoother. This can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour. The doctor will try to lessen any pain by first numbing the skin with local anesthesia. It usually takes between 3 and 10 days for the skin to heal completely.





Another method for treating acne scarring is dermabrasion, which uses a rotating wire brush or spinning diamond instrument to wear down the surface of the skin. As the skin heals, a new, smoother layer replaces the abraded skin. It may take a bit longer for skin to heal using dermabrasion 鈥?usually between 10 days and 3 weeks.





The newest form of treatment for acne scarring is called fractional laser therapy. This type of treatment works at a deeper level than laser resurfacing or dermabrasion, Because fractional laser therapy doesn't wound the top layer of tissue, healing time is shorter. Fractional laser therapy is quite costly, and it's not usually covered by insurance.





A person's acne will need to be under control before having any of these treatments.





Depending on the severity of the acne scars, the doctor or dermatologist may also suggest a chemical peel or microdermabrasion to help improve the appearance of scarred areas. These milder treatments can be done right in the office.





Sometimes doctors inject material under the scar to raise it to the level of normal skin. Finally, in some cases, a doctor may recommend surgery to remove deeply indented scars.





One thing you shouldn't do to deal with acne scars is load up your face with masks or fancy lotions 鈥?these won't help and may irritate your skin further, making the scars red and even more noticeable.





If you have a red or brownish mark on your face that you got from a bad zit, have no fear 鈥?it will eventually fade, just like the scars you had on your knees after you fell off your bike when you were a kid. However, it may take 12 months or longer 鈥?so your best bet is to avoid these kinds of marks by not squeezing or popping your zits, no matter how tempting it may seem.

Acne scar problem - clearasil works?

i have serious acne problem.. well depends on how you look at it but i have acne and acne scars on my forehead and little spots / acne scars on my cheeks and chin. i want something that works and i don't really care how long it takes but it should be effective and please don't say proactive or laser surgery.. i heard clearasil works and i really want to try it out but i don't know which one to choose. any suggestions?


thanks :)
Acne scar problem - clearasil works?
if you have serious acne proactiv isnt going to work. try using clean and clear products. you can find products just for you skin type online. if you have tried their products with no luck move onto all natural products like zyporex. instead of using harsh chemicals that may irritate your face even more zyporex has all natural ingredients that help acne.

i heard cocoa butter helps
Reply:toothpaste worked for me.
Reply:try proactive
Reply:No.... Its all the same as proactive and all that other junk. If you go to a dermatologist. ask for DIFFERIN its a night cream. they will give you a powerfull face wash with it too. It works. my friend was in the same boat as you are. After a month using it hes skin was doing much better....and he never had a brek out since
Reply:Um. Well i use proactive and i used to have really bad skin-scars and zits...pretty much the whole works. Now my skin is amazing! I absolutely love it and it really makes Your skin feel good. I haven't had perfectly clear skin like this since i was like 12 and started puberty. And i know it works because i was forced to stop using it for a week and my skin quality became really bad...but when i used it again my skin cleared right up. It has three things you use for it and they all work together for "combined therapy" to make your skin as perfect as it can be. No lie-i have heard from all my friends plus professionals on TV who say it is the best thing for your face no matter what the problem is.
Reply:You should try the Unblemish line from Rodan + Fields. It is the only line that worked for me! Look on their website and check it out. it is rodanandfields .com if it does not say it on their website you can get 10% off by putting reprf10395 in the promo box at checkout.
Reply:I have researched a lot on this subject. The best I have come up with is a home remedy from Care2.com. I will send you a link there are a couple great recipes that I have tried that work really well.

Reply:If your acne is serious enough to cause scarring, then you should ideally see a dermatologist, as the most effective options are only available with a prescription.





In any case, you probably need what's referred to as "combination therapy" to effectively treat it -- to include a wash/cleanser, a treatment lotion, and possibly a toner. Several over-the-counter kits are available: Clean %26amp; Clear Advantage Acne Control Kit, Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Acne Therapy, and University Medical's acne kits. Select a kit that includes a comprehensive regimen to follow and go with that if you don't go to the doctor and see which one works best for you. You will have to give it two weeks to see if it's going to work really well, but you should ideally start seeing initial results within a few days.


CURAD scar for acne scars answer pls?

hey, before ive posted a question about my acne scars. then this person messaged me and told me that curad works for her friend and her friend had tons and tonss , now they've disappeared.then i called curad and they said they dont think it works for acne scars, just normal scars.. i dont know. im using mederma, since feb 20. its lighting =] but then still a lot of acne scars. should imake appointment with doctor? for microdermabrasion? how much is it? any one experienced it? also, should i just go to spa? help =[
CURAD scar for acne scars answer pls?
I really dont think CURAD scar would work for acne scars. You might want to try PROACTIV instead of mederma...or make an appointment with a dermatologist.


What is the most cost-effective,multi-functiona... cosmetic machine for microdermabrasion, acne scar removal and

acne scar removal and general skin rejuvenation. Thanks for your help,
What is the most cost-effective,multi-functiona... cosmetic machine for microdermabrasion, acne scar removal and
I would avoid paying for a machine, and invest in a good skin care regimen. This would consist of:


1. Scrub


2. Cleanser


3. Toner


4. and Moisturizer


It needn't be expensive, St. Ives Apricot Scrub and Cream Cleanser are miracle workers. If you follow your regimen religiously, and drink TOO MUCH water, you should see results in within 2 weeks, which is what any product that does the same thing would take. For acne scars, using vitamin e oil directly on the scar will continually and gradually diminish it. For a temporary and immediate fix, try a procuct used for plumping lips, as it stimulates skin to even out. Good luck, and be patient.

Is there a way to get rid of a rolling acne scar?

Iv'e had a scar on the bottom side of my face for quite a few years caused by acne ( i think it was a nodule, a pimple without a head,more like a lump).


It doesn't hurt now it's a scar but i dont like it


It looks reddish and feels like a small lump in my skin.


Iv'e heard of Subcutaneous incision,does it work?
Is there a way to get rid of a rolling acne scar?
You can have it removed and then it will be a fine line type of scar which will be a lot better. I would recommend find someone (Doctor) with a very good reputation for good suture work. If not done correctly you will get a lump of scar tissue back. If done right it will be barely noticable.





Although it will take time for that new cut to make a smooth scar. But it will eventually smooth down when the swelling and all goes away. Say a full month or so.


I have a job interview tomorrow and i have lots of Acne Scar. Help!?

Do you think i cannot get the jobs because of my Acne Scar.





I have a phone interview two days ago for the same job and now they want an in-person interview.





NOw i am worried about my acne scar cause there is lots!





Help!





Also about the in-person interview will they ask me the same thing that they ask over the phone interview. If not does anybody know what will happen.





Also i am thinking of wearing a short sleeve dress shirt with a black open front sweater with it. Do you think it is appropriate. It is for a Administrative clerk job. (I don't have any nice long sleeve and it is too late to buy one)


hank you for all your answer.
I have a job interview tomorrow and i have lots of Acne Scar. Help!?
They can not turn you down for a job because you have acne scars. If you are worried wear a little makeup.





Also, you should always wear a suit to an interview
I have a job interview tomorrow and i have lots of Acne Scar. Help!?
Don't worry too much about the acne. If you know what you're doing maybe you could use some kind of makeup, but if you don't I wouldn't, because you don't want to draw more attention to it. No one is going to think badly about you because you had acne, so don't fret about it too much. (This isn't a date....)





The sweater with the shirt should be fine as long as the sweater is nice, and is CLEAN - black will show cat hair or dandruff or whatever.





Be proud of yourself, self-confident without being arrogant, and do your best. They'll probably ask you some of the same questions and some different, but by now you should know pretty much what they're looking for.





Good luck!
Reply:I think the dress shirt is fine, as long as there are no stains or rips and it looks professional. And with dress pants or a skirt (of appropriate length). NO jeans.





The purpose of an in person interview is to get a sense of your personality and if you would fit into the work environment. They want to be sure you will make an effort to dress appropriately, if you smile freely and speak with confidence. They dont want someone stiff, sloppy, rude, or cold. Be sure to smile, make eye contact, listen and nod, and speak clearly.





Also, try to think of some questions to ask about the job before you go. Company background, their goals as a company, what your duties might entail. That shows interest in the position. If you had a question ready, and the interviewer already gave out the info before you got to ask, then let them know that they already answered all your concerns.





As for the acne scars, do try make up to cover. Use a concealer on spots, then let dry and use a foundation. Be sure to blend well around your jaw line, so that it doesnt look like a mask. Also, dont try to pile it on because that is not flattering either. After concealer and foundation, try to bring some focus to your eyes, by lining them and using natural shades of eyeshadow. Most likely, you will be much more scrutinizing of your scars than they will. they probaly wont even notice because they are there to get a sense of who you are and not your physical flaws. So relax and do your best! good luck!
Reply:Well I have scars as well and I just wear makeup to cover it up. Get a good concealer and put it on the scars, then use a foundation (I use mac). also my scars are mainly on my cheek so i dust a little mac bronzer on it and voila no one ever knows! also put a little color on ur lip. I would also suggest you wear a pencil skirt, heels, and a button up shirt with stud earrings. Dont wear any huge jewelry or anything, stay professional

yes you can use it

Reply:The best thing to do is go to see a dermatologist. He'll be able to give you a prescription to help you deal with your acne. Duac


is awesome. It's benzoyl perozide %26amp; anti-biotic cream in one.





She'll also help you make decisions about any scars you may have. Maybe Retin-A would improve the texture of your skin.


It's also a great acne cream (and women use it to get rid of


crowsfeet %26amp; wrinkles!)





They'll also give you an idea of how much laser treatments


would cost. I don't know if the laser treatments would be


covered by your insurance, but the appointment %26amp; medicine


will be covered.





If you don't want to go that route, Proactive is good. I've heard


it works well. 16 is not too young. I say, if you're old enough


to have acne, you're old enough to use it.





So, you have acne. There are plenty of ways to deal with it.


And they work. I wish I had gone to a dermatologist when I


was younger. I could have had perfect skin during my teens.





Good luck. :)
Reply:read tips and articles on treating acne and reducing scars on this site
Reply:Yes, you can use "Proactive", it just depends on if it works for you. I have had acne problems for awhile, and I have done it all to get rid of it. Unfortunately there are some scars on my face. You can get it lasered if you want, but there is a much cheaper way of getting rid of scars, "Retin- A". This is the key to getting rid of acne. "Retin-A" does many things, and comes in many ways such as: "Retin-A Micro" for youth, "Retin-A 0.1" which is the strongest, and "Retina -A 0.05" which is lesser strength. These products will peel away damaged skin, which causes your face to peel and feel itchy. You need to make sure you are exfoliating when on this product. "Retin-A' is by prescription only, but it is worth it. If you do get on this product the dermatologist will tell you to gradually work up to using it every day, then you will start to notice that your acne will not come back, it will keep those annoying cyst from forming too. Another thing, don't put this product on in the morning, the sun deactivates this product. If you are sixteen I recommend the "Retin-A Micro", it is not so harsh on your skin, and it doesn't make you peel all the time. I love this product, I use it every night. I hope this works for you!

Reply:Proactive only works for a few months. Then it sucks. try a pill perscribed by your dermitoligist. My brothers acne was sooooooooooooooooooo bad and now his skin is soooo clear that I am totally jelous.
Reply:of course you can use proactive.. ive seen an ad for it where the girl was 12!!!
Reply:I use to have acne pretty bad and my doctor put me on antibiotics. This will clear it up for a while because your body builds up a resistance to the antibiotic. Also, Clean your skin with rubbing alchol as often as you can. For scars you may want to get lazor treatment.
