I have such horrible hormonal acne and it sucks so much I know it's hormonal cos it refuses to go away. But thankfully it's slowly starting to clear up after using Cetaphil and this cream



But now I have like acne scars and it is SUCH a pain cos I feel so insecure whenever I go out. I refuse to take selfies and go on snapchat on days when it is really bad. Are there any tips on how to deal with the scars? I tried googling but maybe some of ya'll have experienced the same thing and can share your stories.

for acne scars, my advice--based on person experience--is get one of those home microdermabrasion kits, and when you're done, pop open a vitamin e capsule and massage it in every night.

Yes I am strongly considering but I'm afraid it might get too expensive

I had cystic acne and was left with horrible scars
try dermabrasion

groupon has really good deals of only 30 per session

it really works + i use concealer to cover the big ones that take time to remove

make sure the person you go for dermabrasion is someone whos done it before and well
because if done wrong can cause even worse damage to your skin

I had bad acne scars and it sucks. The dermatologist can give you cream which helps a little bit but from my experience I just had to wait it out as they slowly went away. A good option to hide them a little is to try to get a tan on your face but that might not be possible depending on your Situation. Salt water also helps. If you live by an ocean than great but if you don't you can buy sea salt from the store, mix it with water, and apply it on the scars. They might look more red at first but it should help overtime.

I use bio oil on mine. I know your struggle of feeling insecure going out

I dealt with that, it literally controlled my life. I didn't go to school because of if. I still get acne today but I don't worry about pitted scars. Use CERAVE! and Neutrogena (the one that makes you feel peppermint and refreshed), but use Cerave lotion. It got rid of my scars.

Aw you're so handsome! I wouldn't have known you had cystic acne. How many sessions did you go for?

I saw bio oil in my local pharmacy. How is it working for you?

I used to think home remedies were ******** until I used aloe vera masks and started drinking apple cider vinegar. My skin literally changed within a month.

Start using essential oils such as rosehip seed oil, avocado oil, coconut etc.
These will help in the long run and literally are natural anti-aging remedies that don't contain harmful chemicals.

Use potato, I does work!

What kinda scars? Like deep in the skin? Or hyperpigmentation? You can use a serum every morning/night something with Kojic Acid in it which is great for hyperpigmentation. Or go to your dermatologist.

@ everyone who still has severe cystic acne, like someone said above, you neeeeeeeed to try to get on acutane ASAP.

As for scars, I've tried tons of different stuff but haven't noticed a huge difference from any different creams and what not. Can't speak for dermabrasion though

I've done 3

I'm gonna get 5 more

I've used acutane 3 times

for a year straight each

my body rejects it after 3 months of being off of it

plus it started to harm my system the 3rd time around

Try lemon & raw honey mask. Leave it on your face for 15 minutes 2-3 times a week. It takes time but it works a little.

Or else, you can always go to a dermatologist for a laser scar removal treatment but it's pricey. I never really had acne but I used to have pimples every other month and it really made me depressed because it'd leave a spot to remind me so I understand where you come from. I'm good now, just remember that it'll go away one day.

Acutane should be the last resort. I wouldn't recommend it on anybody.

Also, anyone battling with acne should try Lush products. It literally changed my life because I don't remember the last time I broke out. Whenever I feel like I'm about to get a pimple, it sort of goes away within 2 days. It's probably because I go HAM on my lush product and the lemon/raw honey mask.
