Guys.. do you have any natural or prescribed remedies for acne scars that have worked? I have some scars on my face that are similar to faded pock marks.. slightly darker or redder than my skin tone that I believe are scars left over from when i picked my pimples. Are there any ways to make them fade or return to my natural skin color? I heard lemon juice is useful. Is that true? What have you guys done?

funny you should ask. I have been struggling to remove acne scars lately. I've had them for sometime now, took the decision to something about it. I went to see the doctor last week, my doctor gave me this calamine lotion. i googled it and its specifically for acne scars. works wonders, not even a week, i can see results. you can get this calamine lotion in a drug store or a pharmacy, or you could just go see the doctor. but you have to be sure, its acne scars and not blemish or acne itself. As i mentioned, its specifically for acne scars only. hope it works for you too.;)

wow thanks dex that's great information! I'm gonna go try that out for sure..i've never heard about calamine before but i just googled it too and it looks promising.. let's hope it works i hate these faded scars on my face they're just gradually pissing me off.. glad it worked for you! thanks!

mind you, its not something easy. calamine lotion sounds harmless right. its a thick white liquid that when you apply looks like you just applied a face mask. since my semester just ended, sitting in my room with a mask is fine, but you probably can't wear that and go out. haha. it also dries the skin awfully, making it really tight. it works for me, hopefully it will work for you too. good luck.

I do glycolic acid peels once a month at the dermatologist office. How soon you see results depends on how deep the scar is. It peels away a few layers of skin each time. So it is kind of speeding up our natural shedding process. In my experience, the darker the scar, the deeper it is and the longer it takes to get rid of. I had a big one that was really bad, a very dark reddish brown. It took about a year to fade to a light pink (I'm white). On the other hand, the smallest and lightest ones take one or two peels to go away completely.

It also depends on how often you do it. I do it once a month, but some do it once a week. The ones who use it more often tend to do it themselves instead of have a dermatologist do it. You can get glycolic acid on ebay and do it at home. I am thinking of switching to doing it myself because it is cheaper that way.

i get acne on my face during my menstrual period and that's per month, imagine that. i just cover it with concealer, i always do it and i think i cant last long without putting a concealer in a day.:B scars will go away actually i don't worry about it though it's not really okay once they are on your face..

just apply lemon juice it is very effective. i use lemon juice and apply it on my face everyday because i have a lot of acne scars on my face and it is so disgusting. after a following months my acne scars became lighter. it will take long but it is very effective. so try it.

You have the same problems as like me friend. I have so many acne scars especiaaly in my left chick. Sometimes it's better to go doctor and get the right medicine. But, I think there are some natural medicine without chemical that can be used to reduce this scars. It really annoying and lowered self confident!
