Help from our readers:
what gets rid of light brown acne scars??? its not that severe but its just like a brown spot thats redish brown.
what would work the best: cocoa butter, vitamin e oil, tea tree oil, glycolic acid, or neosporin scar solutions???
feel free to name more than one.
cocoa butter stick works good but if not just leave it alone
Personally I think just using salicylic acid products like neutragena has a few works well if they are not severe ( keep them out of the sun too, and wear sunscreen – sun will only make a scar darker ). Also, if you can go to a dermatologist and get a prescription for something with a mild retin-a. If they are very severe and you have the money microdermabrasion and lasers can do amazing things to improve color and texture.
Since you’re dealing with acne, I would try to stay away from the heavy stuff like cocoa butter. Tea tree oil is great for cleansing. The best and safest way to get rid of a scar is slowly. get a cleanser that is also a scrub, it was help erode away the dead skin cells. Since your scar isn’t that severe, avoid acid, you don’t want to expose your skin to harsher medications than it needs. Keep your face clean and fresh. Use the scrub.
please keep in mind that cocoa butter is way too thick to use on your face, it actually made my face break out more, but everyone is different, just exfoliate about twice a week, st. ives apricot scrub is great! they come in different strengths depending how sensitive you are, you should see a significant difference in about 1.5- 2 weeks. stay away from the butters, and stuff with way too much perfume,
I am the same as you and I am so depressed for the past 10 years!!! it destroy my confident and self esteem and don’t dare to go out with my friends. I tired many skin care solutions and products but none of them are effective :
Lime juice, tomato slices, home made packs can be used for treating acne. You can find more cheap, effective and natural home remedies for pimples at
