Best way to get rid of acne scars? what to use

[Anonymous]

I still have really bad acne but also a lot of scarring from it on body and face :(

are there any specific things to take or creams I could use or take to improve or get rid of the scars. ideally get rid of the acne too but if I could get rid of the scars at the very least... that'd do

my skin is combination so it is very dry AND oily.

I've heard of a few things but not sure what to try... maybe cocoa butter?

I had bad acnexascacteen butvgrewxoytvof it.big have no scars or acne now because I've exfoluated for years using the St Ives oatmeal scrub and various fade creams. My complexion is nearly flawless and I still get compliments on my face regularly. Nothing works over night you haveto do this daily for mmonths or years. I've tried Proactive but its kinda strong for me.

ya cocoa butter is good...for good results put on the scars every day...i put it on every morning...

i'm wondering that since my skin is dry and oily that because its oily the cocoa mighgt aggrovate the acne ?

[anjleyez]

i wouldn't know...my skin is normal...if my skin is oily I wash my face because-that is what cloggs up pores and make your skin red and pimply..if my face is dry I put on special lotion for the face-NOT HAND CREAM...and its best to not touch or scratch the acne-thats what causes the scars...but that's just me I don't know about other types-but the take away is to take care of your face and to never neglect it too much...

Time, scars fade. I'm just glad mine are on my butt and back of my shoulders where they can't be seen by most people. It's been almost a decade since puberty and you'd have to look rather close to see how bad it was.

when did the acne finish for you? I'm 23 and can't believe I still have it, it seems the same rate now as in the past. howw long to heal

The worst was over with by the time I was 17 or so, but I've had "normal" skin since ~18.

Wash with African black soap twice a day and then apply Shea butter or cocoa butter. I never thought mine would go away but they did.

[Asker]

what does the African black soap do?

[bubbiexo]

It has tons of good stuff in it so it purifies , softens, and fights acne.
