Until now I have had mild acne but nothing that left any permanent scars. About 3 months ago, I started having really bad breakouts on my forehead and it left a few scars. Normally, I would just apply cocoa butter to the scars and they would eventually go away but I have had these scars for two months and I have seen little to no improvement. Does anyone know of a good acne treatment for African Americans? Preferably something that shows quick signs of improvement.

Lets see what is an Acne first before going into Acne Scars. Acne refers to lesions or pimples caused when the hair follicles on the skin become plugged with oil and dead skin cells.

I have an oily skin and i have been having acne for over 20 years and now i have scars. I am looking for in home treatment if is possible.

My acne is getting a lot more under control, thanks to Proactive, or so I think. I do however have a lot of scars, which make me look like I still have a ton of acne. I need a good product, preferebly under $20, that i can purchase at the store.Acne scar solutions and no shine would also be helpful. Basicly anything to make my bad skin look good!

I have a few acne scars on my face and want to remove them as much as possible, but i don’t want to pay for laser surgery or anything that extensive. I know coco butter is good for scars and skin treatment, but can this be used on face? I worry that the oil from Coco Butter will cause further break outs leading to more scarring. Or what about Mederma? I heard that was supposed to be good.. any advice is welcome. Thanks

I have a scar removal gel that works GREAT for my stretch marks and other scars, but I’ve yet to see this dramatic or any improvement in my acne scars.

They’re mostly on my forehead and some on my chin. They’re raised, not indented, if that means anything.

I don’t mind spending a little more money or waiting a month or to for a quality product that WORKS.
Would rather not have any procedures or surgeries, but I’ll keep an open mind.
