    Acne Scar Treatment - what really works?

    Yes, the best cure is time. But doing nothing except waiting will get you nowhere either. Red marks will fade by themselves over time, but not ice pick scars. I had ice pick scars myself and what got rid of them was using Epidermx microdermabrasion and Silkia camellia oil. It took over a year...

    pop before apply?

    No I wouldn't. I just put the lotion over it and usually after a few hours the lotion would make the white heaRAB go away.

    Micro Dermabrasion

I had a few 2mm deep acne scar pits and they are barely noticeable after using these stuff for a little over a year. If you...

    Cortaid (a hydrocortisone cream) is good for rashes and itchiness. But I don't know if you can use it while pregnant. Ask your doctor.

    laser treatment

    Laser is very good for red marks but not the best thing for pitted scarring. It will get rid of the redness very fast but don't expect a lot for the pits. You'll need lots of treatments before you can see some improvement which could be no more than 30% - 40%. A friend of mine did a few lasers...

    Retin -A

    How often are you using it? I think you can back off and use it less often until your skin improves. Then slowly re-introduce it again. Give it 3 months before deciding whether it's for you or not.

    Finacea

    I haven't used it but have heard it works great for acne and blackheaRAB. Maybe you are experiencing purging. It can cause bad initial breakouts for some people. Give it some more time.

    Who has used Camellia Oil and Epidermx II for pitted scars?

    I had great success using these 2 products for my pitted scars after a year's use and still saw improvement after that. The pits on the forehead became virtually unnoticeable around 2 years. Those above my lip have filled in a lot also and became much more smoother looking, but still not as...

    Spots/Whiteheads

    Water surely helps. Don't drink so much soda and other fizzy drinks. You can use aspirin mask to help with the spots and whiteheaRAB. It has helped mine a lot. Get some aspirins - 4 or 5 and dissolve them in a few drops of water. Put the paste over your face for about 15 minutes and rinse off...

    scabs- good to pick or not?!!?

    I pick only when the skin underneath is healed, then it won't leave a dent. Otherwise don't pick. I usually dab some Polysporin there to keep it moist and help the skin heal and minimize any scarring.

    is it ok to use a moisturizer with sunblock at night?

    It's ok to use it at night but I'd rather not. Sunblock has chemical ingredients and I don't want to wear it all day if it's not needed. Use a moisturizer without sunblock at night.
