I have just started using microdermabrasion scrub by Derma E. I can't say it does anything for scars necessarily cause I just started using it lol but I will say that after 2 weeks my skin (I also have scars) seems a lot smoother! And more clear as well, and I have been using Tamanu oil to moisturize, supposedly good for acne too, I'm love the results of these 2 combined :) and FYI, I've tried a million things lol this is one of my faves already and I just started! Best of all they are both natural:)

Retinol, aha acids and vitiamin c. won't work overnight but will absolutely help.

Danny thank you any suggestion on a brand or store to get it from...retinol has to be prescribed correct?

Kay the alpha hydrox line is avalible in drug stores they have aha products as well as retinol. retinol is a gentler version of retin-a (that's the prescription stuff) that is a good option to but stRt w the drug store retinol and work your way to the scrip. with the aha product go for a low percentage and work your way up as well. Olay has good retinol products as well. now for the vitiamin c I use Paula's choice you can buy that online skincuticles has one as well but honestly Paula's choice is a cheaper dupe. philosophy dark spot corrector is a good choice as well. now DO NOT start using all this stuff at once start w one and then slowly incorporate the other products seeing how your skin responds.

I agree, as usual, with everything Danny says. I love the alpha hydrox line. I love their retinol the most here lately. It's pretty gentle but seems to be working better than the philosophy retinol. Waaaay cheaper too. You can usually get a good deal buying from their website and ulta often has a buy one get one %50 off.

You definitely need SPF during the day if you uses these products.

I read that using chemicals on skin makes it thinner and if you use chemicals you age faster so I have started using fresh aloe Vera gel on my acne and acne scars I'm waiting for the results , I have tried so many things to get rid of it but nothing works :(

Maybe if you use chemicals you'll have better results Jenna. They do thin the skin but that's the point. The skin thickens as the cell turnover slows with age.

Good call Mary I always forget the damn spf lol.
Jan 29, 2014

Jenna they definitely don't make you age faster they are all anti aging and backed by years of research and studies. you just have to find a good line that has the correct ingredients and proper ph levels for some or it won't do anything. some companies put gel in a jar and make all thses amazing claims and they don't do anything.

I third Danny's advice. That's what helped rid my skin of the acne scars. It doesn't happen overnight so consistency and patience is required.

I had acne scarring and I went to the dermatologist and had the CO2 refraction laser surgery done, this is used for deep scars that cause divets in the skin. It was well worth it the scars are barely noticeable now
