Fading Acne Scars: Doctors' Best Kept Secrets


By Rebecca Hall

Acne is a big problem for many people, no matter age they are. Many people who were afflicted with acne during their younger years still carry the nasty acne scars into their adult life. On top of that, some people develop severe acne even as adults. Fortunately, no one has to live with that kind of embarrassment, because fading acne scars is definitely possible.

If you go to the doctor, you may be asked to go through expensive treatments or to try drugs and topical creams in order to get rid of acne scars. But what you may not know is that it is possible to fade acne scars fade away with home remedies that are cheap and readily available.

For example, did you know that vitamin E is very effective for fading acne scars? Many stores carry vitamin E oil that can be applied to the face or other acne-scarred areas. Make sure that you buy the thick, brownish-colored oil - that's the real stuff that isn't watered down or mixed with anything else.

To get the most out of vitamin E oil, just wash and exfoliate the scarred areas and then apply the oil there. The first treatment should provide good results, but continue to use the oil and the scars will continue to disappear.

There are also other natural remedies that you can try to achieve similar results on fading acne scars. People have reported using tomatoes, papaya, cocoa butter, and other home remedies to get rid of acne scars. There are certain products and treatments that work better for some people than others, so you may have to experiment a bit and find the remedy that works best for your skin.

If you have very deep acne scars, or dark scars, these home remedies may not be as effective for you. People who have severe scarring from acne will most likely have to undergo some variety of surgical procedures in order to get rid of the acne scars.
