The good news for me is my acne is finally clearing up after four terrible years of it! Bad news, since it was so severe, it's left me with scars. Does anyone have any recommendations for me?
I'm having the same problem. I manage a tanning salon and we offer red light therapy which can help with scarring but you have to do it a minimum of 2 x's a week for 2 months to see results and I just started it last week. That's all I've got :/
Photodynamic Therapy saved me and got rid of my scars entirely. I'm always commenting and suggesting it here I feel like a broken record haha but only because it works! :)
Scar Zone helps after using it for about a week I noticed results. As does Vitamin E oil. I never got acne scars until I got in my mid 20s and boom. Both cheeks
Rose-Hip oil and Vitamin E creams also a cream i used on a scar on my face called Ungvita cream, it faded my scar amazingly quick the only problem with this product is it smells a bit but it's still totally worth looking into if your serious about getting rid of your scarring

You can also try using an exfoliator that has some glycolic acid in it. Neostrata and dermatologica have great ones. Helps get rid of discoloration and brighten your skin tone in general.

Scar zone is pretty decent! I I haven't found the perfect product yet but this is good for now. Defiantly worth trying

I use a clarisinic Mia religiously and I find that it does help fade the scarring :)
