    Acne Scars?
    I've been using papaya soap for about 3 months and it hasn't done anything for my acne. What other products (not too expensive please) will help lighten my scars?

    Papaya, in its natural form only put through a blender is an excellent natural peel. I don't know how they expect the soap version to do any good because its qualities, that way, would be greatly diluted.

    The object is to exfoliate enough to reduce the pitting and scarring, so if you had dermabrasion (the kits you can buy now by all major cosmetic companies) will probably help somewhat to elleviate the effect of the pitting. Otherwise, have laser treatments which is expensive but permanent.
