    How do I lighten my pimple marks & other dark spots?
    Is there really a product in the market that can lighten or totally erase my pimple marks? I'm scared to try those whitening products because my skin is sensitive, I can't take to have another batch of pimples again. It is very traumatic. I just thought of buying products from a clinic but its too expensive. If there's a whitening product in the market that's affordable and proven or even made by a derma I would really try it. Please help me.:o

    Having pimples is one of d most common problems. Even I had it for a long time. But I tell you I didn't use any market products or creams meant to remove pimples. Because they can harm your skin. As u said your skin is sensitive so its better to avoid market products and prefer household prevention methods. I think you must have been using some light cream or moisturiser that suited you before. So depending upon your skin i.e. whether its dry or oily, you can continue using that one. You must need 2 drink plenty of water daily. Make it in your habbit. Eat a lot of fruits and green vegetables and stay away from oily and junk food. Also try to avoid non-veg as far as you can. Wash your face 3-4 times in a day. Try to include these steps in your routine and you will definitely see improvements. Also have proper sleep and do not take stress. Take care:)

    Hello! I know how you feel, I had same experience as yours. And after all the trauma of having pimples, yes really have to deal now with the pimple marks. I've tried a lot of whitening products in the market though it can really be expensive not until my mom bought me this papaya soap. I tried it, though I'm not a fan of papaya soaps and to my surprise it actually works! The brand is YSA Botanica papaya soap, it's available in the market. My marks really lighten up, now it's almost gone.My mom and I notice the effect in 2-3 weeks after I use it.I got really satisfied with the result aside from the fact that it's very affordable. My mom's friend told us that YSA is formulated by a real dermatologist and she also have skin clinics. That's why I'm still using it now and I like the scent plus it really last long. Hope I can help you on this!;)

    I say you try AcneFree Clear Skin System. My skin breaks out from Dove Soap (which is supposedly really gentle) and AcneFree keeps my skin looking great. They also make a Pimple Peel that lightens marks and they have a Pock mark reducer that helps with those little indentations that pimples leave. Since all of these things are formulated by the same company, if one thing doesn't break your skin out, neither should another. Good lcuk!

    If you are talking about red or dark colored marks, I think there is a solution. You can get laser treatments done by a reputable dermatologist. It just takes a few minutes and you don't need an anesthetic. It's also used for birthmarks. I know that some marks will take several treatments to erase. I would call your doctor to see if you're a candidate and to get an estimate on the costs. It might be a whole lot safer and more effective than over-the-counter creams.

    Try a pure lemon juice facial. Squeeze the juice from a lemon, rub the juice on your face with a cotton ball, let it sit for approx. 10 min. - it will sting! - rinse the solution off with luke-warm water. Try this at least twice or three times per week, and see if this will help fade your spots.
    Good luck!

    You have described my situation here and I was wondering what age you have to be to get this done. Also how much it costs. I have been to a dermotoligist before because of ma eczama but I didn't know they could do this. The marks I have are between my eyebrows and they are permanent. I hope you understand how embarrassing it is for me. I would be really grateful if you could answer my questions. Thanks a lot.

    I have the same problem as yours too. Im 15 years old, and I want to get rid of this pimple, pimple marks. Ive been using several products like ponds and eskinol. But I don't see any improvement on my face. The pimples and marks are still there multiplying. Ever since I prayed that one morning when I wake up, all this thing on my face will be gone. I wondered if this product ( YSA Botanica papaya soap ) is available here in the philippines? I want to try that one. Guys, should I continue using the product I've been using? Even if I wash my face 3-4 times a day with a warm water, I think its no work. What should I do? I'm so confused :(

    Ive had the same problem... And I used the natural gel of aloe vera.. and it is amazing! Jus apply the gel/sap of aloe vera plant to your skin... Don't keep for too long as it will make the skin dry. What worked for me was that I would apply the gel on my face for 3-4 min and den rinse off... n do this 3 or 4 times a day. It cools and refreshes the skin and my marks soon faded away.

    Take care..! :)

    Try an Indian product called "Fair and Lovely". The product is cheap, smells ah-mazing, and will help you fade those spots! :) I'm currently using it now and love it. It keeps my skin clear, and makes my makeup stay longer. I use it as a makeup base, and my face is less oily now! It's multi functional. :)
