How can I treat acne scars n spots left behind from acne?

I am 23 and my acne has slowed down, I do ocassionally get one or two ance spot but I am glad it has decreased. However, now I am looking in mirror n hoping that there is some product that could take away the scars n spots. I don't know if it helps to answer my question, I have a brown complexion. Thanks in advance.How can I treat acne scars n spots left behind from acne?
They have over-the-counter lightening creams and soaps that you can try.How can I treat acne scars n spots left behind from acne?
Treating scars can be easy. Clean your face with a flannel everyday. Then apply a Vitamin E cream, Cocoa Butter is a brilliant cream with loads of Vitamin E. Your scars should go within 2-3 weeks if done everyday before sleep.





If you mean pits in your skin, you will need laser treatment. Report Abuse

The SCARS are almost impossible to treat, since they are actual pits in the skin.





Good luck!
i had very bad acne so i know how that is..what i used was acne free scar reducer.. im forget what exactly its called but i know its from the brand acnefree.. but anyway it really did work i used it at night after washing my face and in the morning before i put make up on.. you can get at walmart.


hope this helps =)
try putting vitamin E and C oils on it. It really helped my sister. Also, Este Lauder's Advanced night repair seems to work really well too!
you should really talk to your derm.





or find a cream that treats scars
Blo-torch, followed by Sandpaper. ;)
the best way to treat both and get results is with a microdermabraision and chemical peel. the microderm will smooth out the texture and the peel will help with the pigmentation. microdermabraision doesn't hurt so don't worry it kinda feels like a cat is licking you. the peel maybe itchy. another benefit it will help with any breakout you may still have. I have seen amazing results with my clients in this treatment. good luck
try putting Vitamin E on scars all the time they will start to fade away...hope this helps!!
I use Demarkable Dermal Smoothing Lotion. It dramatically reduces the size and discoloration of scarring and stretch marks anywhere on the skin, in as few as 30 days! Also , retextures and smoothes damaged skin. You can check it out or order at www.beautipage.com/malorifulgham. Go to shop now!%26gt;skin care%26gt;problem solvers
use a toner, clique's is great.





=)
try pro-active soultion. or see a dermatologist.
Well you should know not to pick at them when you get them or you will make more scars. And you should try fading cream they sell fading cream at the drug store you can try ambi that for skin that dark and you can use any fading cream that help with scars and when you get to where you want to be with it then you use coco butter to even out you skin just don't use these products at the same time wait tell you get where you want with the fading cream then use the coco butter
N-lite a laser treatment for the skin is about the best and not so expensive as you may think. there isnt any lotion that will heal scars,laser treatment is the only option that will give positive results

    Adult Hormonal Acne - A vicious cycle. Many women pass into adulthood without ';outgrowing'; their acne. Others may not develop it until their 20s or 30s, experiencing persistent breakouts the week before their period. Why? During the course of a normal menstrual cycle (if a woman is not taking any kind of hormonal birth control pill), estrogen levels peak at mid-cycle, then decline as she nears her period. After ovulation, the ovaries begin to produce progesterone, another hormone which stimulates the sebaceous glands. And with the extra oil comes acne. Hormones are also responsible for acne in a percentage of pregnant women, as well; the sebaceous glands go into high gear during the third trimester, causing oily skin and frequent breakouts. Some women even experience acne after menopause, when estrogen levels begin to taper off and testosterone becomes the dominant hormone.





    Adult Hormonal Acne - What can be done? According to Dr. Shalita, the ';wait and see'; attitude is particularly ineffective for hormonal breakouts: ';Acne that worsens during a woman's monthly cycle isn't something that women will grow out of as they get older. Seeing your dermatologist to determine the best treatment plan for acne flare-ups is recommended for the most successful result.';

    I've been in that situation and there is really nothing you can do about it. There are things you can do to try to reduce the blemishes and get rid of acne/pimples temporarily but you will always be finding yourself cleaning your face or your body depending on where it's at.





    I mean of course your acne should go away eventually but for some this is the case their whole life.





    I'm 29 years old and have been suffering from these little pests since I was a teenager. I tried all sorts of face washes from the local grocery store and what not, but nothing seemed to work. If anything it would just make my skin dry and itchy.





    Literally the best acne face wash I've ever used has been this stuff called clearpores. It has got rid of the acne to quickest and has been a success ever since I got it. It's unique cause of it's herbal supplement you take a long with it that helps your skin from the inside out. I saved money on it at skincleansingsystem.com at the time which was helpful.





    You should really look into this stuff and if you can to assure the best results, get the 3 month supply because if it doesn't work it will still save you butt on the return policy.





    Well good luck and best wishes.
    First, go outside into the woods. Find a plant with 3 leaves on it. Then you rub it all over you cheeks until you feel that there is a lot of oil on it. It may itch, but don't worry, it will all go away. Then, you have to drug rehabilitation.

    How do you get rid of acne without proactiv and other treatments?

    Hi, I have a lot of pimples on my face especiallyon the hair line. Also, I pick a lot. Its a bad habit and I don't know how to stop it. I have combination skin and already have special products from a doctor. I just need recipes, tricks, and tips about how to get rid of it without having to buy expensive products.


    How do you get rid of acne without proactiv and other treatments?
    It's hard to break the habit, but the less you pick the better off you are. Limit how much you touch your face all together (resting your head on your hand, rubbing your eyes...), because that adds a lot of oil and hands are really dirty.





    The best way I've learned to maintain clearer skin is with blotting sheets. My favorite are Clean %26amp; Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets. They come in a little blue pack for $5 for 50. Mid-afternoon I pat down my face (in particular my nose to deal with black heads and around the hair line where oil from your hair makes a mess) and that has helped clear my face a lot. If you're a picker because you find it satisfying, you might find turning the little blotting sheet clear from your oil very satisfying, too!





    Good luck!How do you get rid of acne without proactiv and other treatments?
    Here is what I started doing:





    1 tbps of coconut oil (consume throughout the day)


    consume 2 ibprophens to reduce swelling of the pimples


    rub a little coconut oil on your face at night


    use backing soda and water paste in the morning





    eat more apples and cucumbers they really help to clear up your face. Also, add honey to your diet!











    Coconut oil is fairly cheap and don't waste your hard earned money on Proactiv
    Wash your face more, like after school or work, in the mornings, and before you go to bed... You could also put your hair into a pony-tail or bun, to keep the hair oils off of your face... I hope that helps=) good luck with it=)
    LEMON JUICE! i use it every night it works great! just apply the lemon juice directly to the acne. It drys out your face, and thats why it works so well.

    What is the best acne treatment for acne around the mouth?

    This is the only place i get acne and it blows. does anybody know a certain product that works in this area?What is the best acne treatment for acne around the mouth?
    Hi there, i hope my answer will beefit you. this is about Alternative Acne Treatments that Work of to treat you acne around your mouth. If it work do respond to me ok?





    There are several acne alternative treatments that can help impede or even cure acne. The Chinese believe that acne is caused by toxicity and heat in the blood stream. Some view acne as a digestive problem where the poisons from poor digestion are discharged into the skin.; One of the most elemental alternative acne treatments is to consume a low fat diet, maintain proper hygiene, and eat proper vitamins. Saturated fat intake should be kept to a minimum, as they can damage the tissue of the body, and also induce inflammation.It has also be proposed to abstain from foods that may cause heat to build up in the body, like garlic, coffee, or spicy foods.





    Plenty of Vitamin A should be consumed, as it is essential for healthy skin. Zinc is also important as it helps heal the skin, and reduces hormonal imbalances. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential as they maintain cell membranes and aid in the transport of nutrients to the cells. Acidophilus capsules may be used to help with digestion.





    Daily bowl movements are important so a high fiber diet should be adhered to. For acne that is cause by menstruation Vitamin B-6 is important as it can help regularly maintain the proper metabolism of the increased release of hormones.





    Some acne alternative treatments that may be applied directly to the skin include a honey facial. This is done by putting uncooked honey onto ones face and leaving it on the skin for five to ten minutes. Honey is said to revitalize the skin. Alternately tea tree oil may be applied to the skin. This has been said to impede bacteria from growing on the skin. Exfoliants may be used to treat acne and pimples. Glycolic acid and lactic acid are alpha-hydroxyl acids that are found in citrus fruits. It is suggested that they lessen dead skin cells from building up.





    Therefore lemon juice can be mixed with water and applied to the face. The juice should be allowed to dry on the skin for up to ten minutes and then is should be rinsed off. If one has sensitive skin more water may be required to the blend so the individual doesn't experience too much of a ';burning'; sensation.Herbalists have their own concoctions to use as pimple alternative treatments.





    They suggest evening primrose oil, or black current seed oil capsules. Alternatively some recommend teas with Echinacea or goldenseal. Exercise and relaxation are also important alternative treatments for acne, as the body needs to be at its peak.





    While alternative acne treatments are controversial, especially with doctors, their success depends highly on the individual and the degree of acne they are suffering from.What is the best acne treatment for acne around the mouth?

    What makeup foundation is good for acne prone skin but gives good long lasting coverage?

    I don't have severe acne or anything, my face isn't too oily or too dry, but it seems like I always have some acne and I do wear makeup a lot. I want to find a good foundation that wont cause acne, but gives good coverage because my face isn't even toned and i have blemishes etc.


    Thanks!What makeup foundation is good for acne prone skin but gives good long lasting coverage?
    I could not live without this concealer!! CoverBlend by Exuviance.





    http://www.neostrata.com/store/coverblen鈥?/a>





    You can find this being sold at most Dermatologists offices or at Beauty First stores.








    For foundation and powder I use Cliniques brand. They have everything for every skin type.





    http://www.clinique.com/templates/produc鈥?/a>





    Clinique can be found at most department stores such as Younkers, Dillards, Von Maur, etc..





    They are all worth the price, which isn't too bad.What makeup foundation is good for acne prone skin but gives good long lasting coverage?
    it sounds like you have pretty average skin. but most of the time certain makeups that are good for one persons type of skin is not good for anothers.


    you should try a few different makeups... but the best kind is usually mineral powder makeups. if you want the best, buy some Bare Minerals. it's expensive but very good. also you can look at Beauty Control makeup.. it's a very good company and sells almost the same stuff as Bare Minerals for a little cheaper.
    Neutrogena's Healthy Skin Enhancer is great for skin and it doesn't feel like you're wearing any makeup. It's really light but it gives good coverage and I definitely recommend it. For more color dust buffing beads, shimmery light pink beads, over skin for a healthy glow.
    Dermona Enchant get world market number one nanotechnology Acne curing, wrinkle removing, nutrition feeding, skin tone fixing skin care and make up line, anti aging, keeps skin healthy young,


    Dermona %26amp; Enchant. So safe a baby can eat it. It has been used and currently being used by our celebrities. FDA approved. Referral code Greg.
    I was in about the same situation as you. I cut out liquid foundation completely and started using a loose powder. It doesn't cover as good, but my skin cleared up and now I don't need it to be covered as much.
    almay clear complextion, it actually has acne medicine in it, so it's good for you, i use it and love it. it's one of the few that don't make me break out.
    I recently discovered Neutrogena Glow Sheers foundation, it works well with acne prone skin. However, you will need an additional concealer for heavy spot coverage.

    How do I get rid of acne and prevent scarring - Should I squeeze the liquid from inside the pimple?

    How to heal big pimples? Please don't state home remedies like toothpaste or icepack. They have been researched to be useless and the icepack can cause scars.How do I get rid of acne and prevent scarring - Should I squeeze the liquid from inside the pimple?
    It's a sin to squeeze pimples. It will definitely lead to scars.





    To get rid of acne. Try a gentle cleanser. One that is glycerin or sorbitol based will be good and it does not need to be expensive. Cetaphil and Neutrogena has some pretty good ones. Try Cetaphil庐 Gentle Skin Cleanser.





    Proactiv works for some people it clears up for a while but acne may come back. It is also very harsh on your skin and may dry it all up, definitely not for people with sensitive skin. My friend said it corroded and bleached her metal sink so if it can do that to the sink, think of what it is doing to your face. So Proactiv is a no no.





    Wash your face at least twice a day and everytime after you perspire. If your skin is the oily kind, you do not need to apply any moisturizer, your skin oils are enough to keep it hydrated. If you really must apply a gentle light oil free one. Cetaphil庐 Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15 or Cetaphil庐 Moisturizing Lotion is quite good





    Apply pimple cream to the acne area. Try benzoyl peroxide low strength(2.5%) first. Don't pick poke scrub or pop your pimples unless you want scars which are really ugly. Scrubbing cleansers or washes are also no-nos because it equals picking and poking and makes acne worse Treated pimples gently.





    Eat healthy. Make sure you drink plenty of water. Cut down on sugar and carb intake. Foods like chocolates, coffee, soda drinks, bread, rice potatoes or anything starchy and sugary are no-nos. Cut down on oily and fried foods also. Go for grilled, steamed or baked food. Make sure you eat lots of fruits and vegatables. Ensure that your diet is rich in vitamin A, C, E and Omega-3 which are important for the skin. Less stress and sleeping enough is also important. Not having enough sleep is like putting stress on your body. Makes sure you sleep at 8 hours a day.





    If all else fails, it is time to see a dermatologist. The pills and medications do work but you may have to take them long term to suppress the acne as it is not a cure and acne is a chronic disease. However the pills are not miracles and you won鈥檛 see results in 2-3 days. It normally takes about 2 weeks to see the difference. However not all dermatologists prescribe pills unless your acne is really bad. The pills will include antibiotics, accutane and contraceptives. If your acne isn鈥檛 that bad, dermatologists will prescribe topical creams first. If you are really going to a dermatologist, I suggest asking about a product known as Retin-A that treats acne and acne marks and heals the scars.How do I get rid of acne and prevent scarring - Should I squeeze the liquid from inside the pimple?
    Don't squeeze them - if they are really full of puss you can take a clean wet wash cloth (heat in micro for warmth)


    and apply - I'd use a sterile pin to lance the center but highly suggest using the heated clean cloths to open naturally.





    Use a hydrating pure soap or acne wash -


    after doing this and apply peroxide to a the puss filled pimple.


    Otherwise witch hazel on a cotton ball will suffice as a toner.





    Apply a stridex or oxy pad to very infected areas or simply let them air dry after the witch hazel and apply acne cream as needed.





    An acne mask once a week


    exfoliate twice a week (not on same days)


    this will help cell turn over. Use pure and natural brands.


    Check in the drug store.
    I also have acne,


    Use a mild soap with warm water, not too cold or too hot.


    When I first got spots I went to the doctor and he told me I had acne, he gave me some antibiotic tablets and some cream, and after a few months the spots disappeared.


    So I would advise you to go and see a doctor, or they will get worse. Also DONT squeeze them !





    Some myths about acne:


    Acne is not caused by poor hygiene.


    Diet has little or no effect on acne. For example, there is no evidence that chocolate, sweets, or fatty foods make acne worse.


    Stress does not cause acne.


    Acne is not just a simple skin infection, its the changing hormones, sebum, overgrowth of a normally harmless bacteria, you cannot catch acne, it is not contagious.


    Acne cannot be cured by drinking lots of water.


    No evidence that sunbathing or sunbeds will help clear acne.





    Hope this helps. :-)
    On no account physically tamper with the spots, see a pharmacist or a doctor for advise, depending on the severity of your acne. If you don't scarring may well be the outcome.
    Do not squeeze the pimples it can cause more infection, only squeeze blackheads. First of all acne should clear up within 2 weeks if not or it gets worse see a doctor. Try using lemon juice. Put lemon juice on and leave on for a few minutes, rinse off with cool water. Or you can use crushed orange peel mixed with a little water, apply to the face as a mask, leave on for a few minutes and rinse off with cool water. Watch the intake of foods with iodine such as seafood, chips and beef liver.


    Use soaps with glycerin in it, if your a female do not use oil based make-up.

    How can I get rid of acne without having to buy expensive products?

    I wash my face every day and I have tried acne products. Are there any other ways to get rid of it? I am 20 years old.How can I get rid of acne without having to buy expensive products?
    Hi KC





    Here are some real answers on skin conditions. Remedies at the bottom. Cleansing the body of toxins is the key. Especially a colon cleanse! Educate yourself on detoxifying the blood.





    Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman N.D. - ';What is your skin trying to tell you? Often the skin is a metaphor for deeper issues and a way for your body to send up a red flag to warn you that all is not well underneath. When our skin is unhealthy it is usually a reflection of the internal state of our bodies, and is often a sign of poor elimination of toxins and waste products. Most of us are embarrassed by skin problems such as rashes, rosacea, boils or acne, especially in places where others can see our imperfections. The skin is the body's first line of defense against the environment. It has to deal with the effects of weather, sun , cold, heat, dryness, humidity, scrapes, bumps, soaps, detergents, chemicals, perspiration and dirt of all kinds. It is a wonder that our skin stays healthy most of the time! We can help our skin deal with this onslaught by optimizing our general health and by protecting our skin from harsh environmental exposure. Western medicine generally treats skin eruptions with either antibiotics, cortisone, or antifungal preparations. These medicines may alleviate the skin problem temporarily, or occasionally for good, but do not address the source of the problem. Putting a lid on skin symptoms without getting to the root of the imbalance may even result in suppression, that means the imbalance may be driven deeper causing more serious health problems later without ever strengthening the underlying vital force of the person. Fortunately, naturopathic medicine offers a wide vareity of effective treatments for skin problems.';





    Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman N.D. - ';Your skin is a reflection of how well your body is eliminating the toxins that build up on a daily basis. Chronic skin conditions such as acne, eczema and psoriasis stem from a combination of genetic factors, immune stress, dietary deficiencies or sensitivities, and the accumulation of toxins in the body. For our skin to be radiant and clear, it is very important that the other organs of elimination (kidneys, liver, lungs, and colon) are cleansing the body effectively. If not, the skin will be overtaxed, pores will become clogged, and eruptions of one sort or another will result. Here are a number of steps you can take to improve your body's overall elimination wtih specific emphasis on your skin.';





    Detoxification is a normal body process of eliminating or neutralizing toxins through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, lymph and skin. Juice Fasting is the world's most ancient and natural healing mechanism. Fasting triggers a truly wondrous cleansing process that reaches right down to each and every cell and tissue in the body.





    Learn more about Therapeutic Fasting and Detoxification - Colon Cleansing is the main step. Must remove the toxins from the colon, so the toxins dont get in the blood and cause illness and disease.





    Natural Cures





    1. Fruits and Vegetables for Acne: Carrot %26amp; spinach, celery %26amp; watercress, grapefruit juices are all useful to combat acne.





    2. Unwholesome Foods: Acne, a prevalent problem among teen-aged boys would not be possible in our society if our foods were wholesome. A most sad and disgusting sight is the pus-filled pimples due to inner toxicity --- wastes trying desperately to escape through the face. This condition often turns a gentle face in the blossom of youth into a waste dump of pimples, pus and subsequent pock marks which can be prevented. The tons of acne medications and prescriptions sold annually act only on the effect of the harmful food, and not the cause of the disease, malnutrition. The traditional teenage meal, a grease burger, french fries and a milk shake or cola simply does not provide enough nourishment for anyone, let alone a boy going through puberty to adulthood. Our highly processed foods are devoid of hormones found in fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds. Must do a colon cleanse to rid of all the toxins in the body, which eventually get into the blood and cause acne and all other diseases.





    3. Cabbage: Apply a lotion of freshly prepared cabbage juice preceded, if desired, by the application of leaves. The eating of cabbage leaves or juice is also helpful.





    4. Lemon Juice: Skin problems such as acne... will often respond to a treatment of lemon juice. For blackheads rub lemon juice over them each night.





    5. Black Walnut: Externally, Black Walnut is nearly a miracle worker in cases of ...acne, dandruff, boils, itch, shingles, ringworm--we could go on, but you can see that you can use Black Walnut whenever a skin disorder appears! The tincture is an excellent first-aid remedy for wounds.





    Best of health to youHow can I get rid of acne without having to buy expensive products?
    If you have persistent acne which is difficult to control then the problem most likely comes from within. Your body is trying to eliminate toxins through the pores of your skin and it is this which creates the pimples. Bacteria grow around the pimples and the pimples spread. Yuk!





    You need to detox your body. I can recommend 'Acne Free in 3 Days'. See the link below to read more about this acne cure.





    Good luck!
    well first you can go to target or walmart or your local drugstore and buy this stuff called apricot scrub it is in an orange squeeze bottle and it costs like 3 bucks. Use it every time u r in the shower.
    Well that depends if it is acne or just bad skin. If it is acne you need to go on an antibiotic like Tectralysel (?) You should go see a dermotologist. I know it's expensive but it is worth it. If you just have bad skin then you should wash, tone and moisturise daily, apply sunscreen everyday in the sun, steam ( hold your face over a bowl of hot steaming water) 3 times a week, and do a mask once a week. Any products will work! Also cut down on make up and keep your hair out of your face. You a non-greasy lip gloss, try to stick to lip ice! Good luck
    i have acne..very serious before but now it lessened and im still 18,just sleep early,like 8 to 10 hours daily..wash your face when you wake up to get rid of the oil,when you take a bath,face first body later and before you go to sleep to also get rid of the oil an the dirt you got from the day...,use ivory..it works really good....and ps,use a handtowel put into hotwater,and just tap it in your face..it will take the dirt out right away...trust me dudette,you will become B-U-T-ful again..脺
    i have very oily skin and i try not to wash my face daily because you take out all the good things that you face need to fight off the bacteria. i say try st. Ives clear pore treatment it is a green solution, along with oxy pads no more than twice a day. try doing this every other day , and on the days you don't try using hot water alone on a clean rag to wipe your face down. this will help open your pores to let some oil out and right after try using cool water to help tightly close them back. this should help. if not write me back and I'll let you in on another secret.
    Try Clinique.... It really works!!!!








    OR





    AVONClearskin.......





    they both work great!!!!
    Drink at least a litre of spring or mineral water each day. It really does help, and you need to flush out toxins from your body which often use the skin as a dumping ground. They main key to clear skin is frequent scrubbing with plain soap, morning and night. I cannot stress that enough, most supposed anti-acne treatments and face washes do not work efficiently enough to remove dirt, grime and bacteria that lurks beneath skin as good scrubbing with soap does. An affordable but very effective product is Clean and Clear's Deep Pore Treatment Lotion. Also use a plain, but rich moisturiser such as the original Nivea Cream. Clay masks weekly before you got to bed are most effective for acne prone skin and combination skin types. You may also want to drink hot water with a couple of thick slices of lemon before bedtime a couple of times a week, or during a ';bad skin'; period as it helps clear it from the inside-out. Hope this helps.
    I dislike using products with chemicals so i use baking soda mixed with a little water to make a paste. Apply it to the affected area over night regularly for about a week. Along with this have atleast 2 liters of water every day and for this to be really effective, you may have to give up all carbonated drinks, chocolate and coffee. This worked for me!
    To get rid of acne. Try a gentle cleanser. One that is glycerin or sorbitol based will be good and it does not need to be expensive. Cetaphil and Neutrogena has some pretty good ones. Try Cetaphil庐 Gentle Skin Cleanser.

However the pills are not miracles and you won鈥檛 see results in 2-3 days. It normally takes about 2 weeks to see the difference. However not all dermatologists prescribe pills unless your acne is really bad. The pills will include antibiotics, accutane and contraceptives. If your acne isn鈥檛 that bad, dermatologists will prescribe topical creams first. If you are really going to a dermatologist, I suggest asking about a product known as Retin-A that treats acne and acne marks and heals the scars.
    Well, I have just read about something for that on the net, but have never tried it myself. Go to www.acnefreein3days.com


    I hope this helps.
