Following my plastic surgeons' advice, I have been using Vaseline (petroleum jelly) on acne scars and after 6 - 8 weeks, watched it peel with new skin underneath.

This new skin is virtually scar free! (Mind you, I dab it 4 - 6 times a day ONLY on the red mark/ scar, not on the entire face)

What I thought was some isolated success from my doctor is now actual truth.

Read this news article from MSNBC, the last paragraph. Here, the doctor explicitly states that the BEST WAY to let any wound heal without scarring is to put ointment or petroleum jelly - which is plain old $1.99 Vaseline. So, like my doctor says, stop letting those other derms get away with making a fast buck on you, when $1.99 Vaseline WORKS clinically.

I can't believe I was going for $5000 laser resurfacing when my 10 week treatment with Vaseline with this doctor gave me such incredible results.
 
I'm trying vaseline and it seems to be working. Hmmm maybe the reason why some people have had success with vitamin E is a result of keeping their wound moisturized as opposed to the actual vitamin E.
 
Inifinity,

My doctor said the secret to perfect healing is to keep the wound/scar TOTALLY MOIST.

That means dabbing Vaseline 6 times a day. I asked him the same Neosporin question - he said, he had patients use it and they ALWAYS are left with a small scar. To get the results from Vaseline, he said, you have to apply Neosporin EVERY hour, which to me is more @#$% than Vaseline.
 
Hi!
I have read many posts on vaseline and now that i read this one, i really think it should work...
But i guess i shouldn't use it as long as i'm still on accutane, right?
 
I'm glad you having success with Vaseline!

I told a friend about this but he thought I was an idiot. But seriously, Vaseline really heals wounRAB by repairing the scar. Ask any plastic surgeon that- they all use $1.99 Vaseline for wound healing (even though they sell $$$ products).
 
hey phillaser,have u had any more breakouts since u got that procedure done.how do you stay clear????wat do u eat??wat dont u eat??i cant wait till the day im totally free of scars.
 
Yeah, what about the new breaking ones? And also, can I get some advice on curing cyst as well?

Thanks.
 
A Guy,

I prevent breakouts by a special skincare routine. I also changed my diet entirely to have the Atkins diet -high proteins, no breaRAB, pasta but lots of vegetables.

I also drink 2 glasses of Soy- this is important esp. if you are male and under 25.
The soy diminishes excess androgens which stimulate acne.

Lastly, I took my derm's advice- went to the health food store and got the 3 supplements.
 
Angela,

Good luck on the Vaseline - but be careful, you'll have to look a little shiny on those marks for a while.
 
Ugh, but six times a day!! Does this stuff work for scars/red marks that have been present for like..half a year to a year? I dunno..

Maybe I'll try this in the summer, I can't handle that upkeep in school...would a month and a half be enough to get rid of old faded scars?

Babyjac,

Having microderm will prevent the cysts. Also, among other things, cysts are caused by excess androgen hormones in females.

Go to the health fooRAB store and buy these 3 supplements: Evening Primrose Oil, Kava Kava and Ginseng.

Also, drinking 2 glasses of soy milk helps keeps you clear. It has beneficial properties of reducing excess androgen (male) hormones. You will see the cysts clear in 3 weeks.

Best-Phil
 
I have marks covering most of my cheeks. Some are dime size and others are like ice picks. Some are leaving little dents in my face. Im going to use vaseline now. Thanks
 
Billie,

Vaseline is safe and even recommended during Accutane. My doctor who gave me Accutane two years ago gave it for my dry lips and nose (bleeding).

So, I am sure you can use it for your scars.
 
Hi Phil,Thanks to ur post, i've been using Vaseline for about a week. My red marks seem to be faded a little bit and even my acne seems to be calm down.
I really hate being red all the time, hix. My face issssssssss so ugly with red marks. i hope Vaseline will change my life b/c it seems to work on them. But i really wanna know how long it'll take to clear red marks on my face which were left by acne about 2months ago. Hope to hear from u soon, my friend!
 
Yes, 6 times a day. It's a pain but doing it for those weeks is better than having UGLY marks.

6 times is manageable if you plan a little.

I only dab it 3 times at work. Once, when I reach work. Another at lunch and finally before I catch the bus to leave.

The other 3 are- when I wake up, after dinner and before I sleep.
