Any suggestions on lessen the appearance of acne scars?
Asked by guest, Nov 28th, 2008
I
have two acne scars on the sides of my nose, they are from these
pimples that would never pop. Whenever I put on my make up in the
morning, I see them and wonder what can I do to get rid of them or at
least lessen the appearance of it. If you have any suggestions, please
let me know. Thanks!

Scars which result from acne are called atrophic scars. There are skin treatments that can lessen the appearance of the atrophic scars and eventually get ride of it.
Free radicals break down healthy skin cells, the treatment needs to scavenge these free radicals, and create a trans-epidermal seal to help skin retain natural hydration to soften skin, and reduce inflammation. The skin treatment should also stimulate the natural production of healthy cell and eventually reverse the appearance of scar tissue.Answered by greycat, Dec 17th, 2008

There are scar fading cremes and stuff, but it has been my experience that they don't help that much.
If you have acne, you may want to look into Differin Gel, or some other form of retinoid. One great benefit is that they encourage cell turn over in skin and rebuild collegen too. Which means it helps with hyper-pigmentation (scars) and wrinkles (though they are probably not your problem right now). It's one of the best treatment for acne available without having to use accutane.Answered by DulceDeLeche, Dec 11th, 2008

Here are some tips, I hope they could help you. :)
1. Apply sandalwood paste with rosewater and leave it overnight over the scars. You can even apply a mixture of sandalwood paste and black gram paste.
2. For dark acne scars use lemon juice. Before applying, clean the scars with warm water and dab 1 tsp of lemon juice into a cotton ball and apply it on the scars and leave it for 10-15 minutes. Make sure to apply sunscreen prior to going out in the sun as lemon juice makes your skin photosensitive.
3. Cucumber with lemon juice or honey with lemon juice also helps. Honey also helps for chicken pox scars.Answered by mikecarne16, Dec 1st, 2008

It's a fact- curing acne can never be achieved by tackling one of the many factors responsible for acne.
If you've ever tried to cure your acne using one-dimensional treatments like antibiotics or detox diets and failed, it's probably because you tackled only one aspect of the disease. Not only will this system teach you the only way to prevent your acne from being formed, you will also learn the only way to acne treatments for good - the holistic way.Answered by chelles93, Dec 1st, 2008
