So I read on this board about epidermx and silkia camellia oil and have been using them on my acne scars and red splotches for about three weeks. Although I do think that my pitted scars have filled out a little (but that could just be because time has passed) I think that my scars have become more red and i have become broken out in the areas surrounding each scar. It also seems like my skin is becoming thinner, like maybe scrubbing everyday has made it really sensitive, and if I scratch at all, my skin breaks.

Has anyone encountered problems like this? This is so frustrating because now I still have my scars, plus I'm broken out, plus my skin seems very fragile. I'm going to stop using the oil for a few days, but do I need to stop the epidermx also? And if I stop using both, what is good for making scars less red? I have been sleeping with an aspirin mask on my scars every night as well, but it isn't making much difference.

Please help! Thanks!
 
I can't relaly help you, all I can say is when i was using the oil, I felt like i broke out more (though maybe it was psychological) because the oil made my face feel real oily, and I didn't really like the feeling of that. So I guess I broke out with the oil as well, so i stopped after about 2/3 weeks.
 
Hang it there. It's probably only an initial breakout reaction. In my opinion the end results are well worth it. I don't have deep pitted scars any more.
 
I'm going to wait until this major breakout subsides, and once/if i clear up again, I'm going to start using the oil again. Until then I'm using epidermx with scarzone and mederma to clear up the mess on my face right now.

Waterlily- a lot of people on this site have written that you shouldnt use camilia oil unless you are already clear, but just have scars. Do you agree? If so, then I definitely started using the oil too soon because I have active acne in addition to scars.
