Help for scars from Acne?
I am 39 and have acne scars, not as bad as some but enough to bother me. I took accutane when I was a teen and it first came out. It worked splendidly and I had no scars or acne until I was 21 and got pregnant, 3rd time, and started to break out again. I did not with the other two pregnancies. So I started taking accutane again and it didn’t work that time and I don’t break out anymore but the scars are painful reminders and I hate makeup. Does anyone know of anything, by trial and error or trial and worked, if there is something I don’t know of that will help, not completely take them away. I know that is impossible and I am not getting a chemical peel. My aunt did and it was PAINFUL and didn’t do anything good at all. Please only intelligent answers, this is a personal thing and I don’t let it bother me around people but it does bother me when I look in the mirror. Thank you!
Been there and done that with the Vitamin E and it clogs my pores and doesn’t help, I use cocoa butter all over my body and it has never helped with any scar, just keeps my skin soft. I don’t buy anything OTC, all I am using on my face is Dove soap, recommended by the Dermatologist, who wants to do a chemical peel.
I don’t have active acne, just scars.

coco butter lotion. it works.
You should get vitamin e oil to help the scars because vitamin e heals the skin and scars.
You might want to see a Dermatologist… Don’t try any more over the counter products.. Trust me on this !!!!!!
Try vitamin E oil. Use it very consistently
You can use Dermabrasion as a treatment to show you how to get rid of shallow imperfection acne scar. You will discover on finding out how to get rid of this type of acne scar, that the treatment may have to be repeated. You will learn how Laser Resurfacing will help you get rid of shallow imperfections also, although this form of treatment is not as often used as Dermabrasion. This way of getting rid of acne scar may also have to be repeated.
I have improved my acne scars with a series of 70% glycolic acid peel.
Significant improvement occurred in both forms of my scars,crater-like form and the pitted (ice-pick) form. My scars are not be totally eradicated but I am very happy with the results.
