Hi everyone, im new to this website but it looks pretty cool. Well let me get straight to the point. Im an 18 year old black girl that is suffering from acne scars. I have them all over my face (even thogh make up covers it), all over my back and the top part of my chest. Nobody no's this as ive kept it a secret but this year i have my prom and i would love to be able to wear a dress that doesnt cover me head to toe! Ive heard skin lightners could really help this. If anyone has any advice i would be really greatful. Thanks a lot.

Hello Stephxxx and welcome! We aim to give the best advice we see fit here at AMHD.

About your acne scars... there are many scar creams at your local drug stores and walmart. Try coco butter. Coco butter fades the scars.

A scar is defined as a mark that will never go away sorry to say. Like I said, you can use various scar treatments to fade them though.

Good luck!

Vitamin E oil is great for acne scars1 What you do is buy the Vitamin E capsules that you're meant to take orally, pierce the capsule and squeeze out the oil from it. Apply one every night. It will be very thick and gloopy but trust me it works!
Also, another method that helped me was lemon juice applied directly onto the scars with a cotton bud. Leave on overnight.

Vitamin E oil does come in a bottle but that stuff stinks! Just thought I'd save both of you from the messieness of piercing a vitamin!

Ok, thanks guys. I'll try the vitamin E solution and tell you how it goes!

I know. But from the capsules it remains fresher and more pure. :)

Today is my first day of using Tri-luma for an acne scar about the size of a dime. Ill let you know if it works. It contains 4% hydroquinone, a steroid and a form of vitamin A.

I have really bad stretch marks on my arms and legs, and I use a product called Bio Oil. It really helps to soften scar tissue and reduce the appearance of scars. I use it twice a day, just massaging it into the area.

Hope that helps :)

Hey, about your acne scars, apparently this has helped a lot of people. I read it after I saw the author on TV, and now I don't have any acne scars at all. That was almost a year ago now, and I haven't had any acne since.

I found a moisturier that works very well unclogging pores, getting rid of dead skin and making the skin smoother, no new pimples to leave MORE dark spots. All of which make the skin look and feel much better/fresher. It's the ph equilibrant moisturizer from an organic skincareline called 'made from earth'.

Use a thin coat of this product so you don't smother your skin. Remember only the skin in contact with the product is helped. Heaping it on wastes your money and this hard to find product!

A few cautions... 1-NOT for people allergic to mushrooms, 2-new skin REQUIRES sunscreen or more dark spots are in your future =( 3-keep drinking plenty of water to keep your body hydrated, it's natural repair function working well and your skin fresh, 4-This product dries the skin out, use a good moisturizer/moisturizing sunscreen. 5-Be careful with your other skin care products too many acne products will over-dry, irritate skin and cause MORE hyperpigmented spots ;(

For me it is essential to use this at night to kickstart the natural repair cycle. I apply it to freshly cleansed skin, let it dry before I crawl into bed, I leave it on overnight.
