Exclamation Acne Scars

Hi everyone,
In about the last 6 months my scne has gotten really bad on my chin... to the stage of scarring!!!
I have been using Environ products and they seem to be making it worse not better!
I am just wondering if acne scars heal by themselves or does anyone recommend any products? I have heard of retinoyl a or something?

Please help I have no self confidence!!!

Re: Acne Scars

My derm dr. told me they heal on their own but it can take up to a year. I seen somewhere on this board that Azelex works on scars. So I asked my derm if i could try it. It was $94 be/c I don't have insurance. I have only been using it for five days but I feel like I can see a differnce in my skin already. It says that it takes 4 weeks to see a difference but I feel like I am already. I really love this stuff. I'm hoping that in a couple months they will be gone!

Yes you have to get a prescription. I don't know if it is on not sorry.

Re: Acne Scars

well after i started to get rid of my pimples, i too had scars left over. But drinking more water and exfoliating my skin once a week has helped out alot.
My scars are starting to go away. Now i need to fight black heads but i heard exfoliating helps those too.
I use clean and clear exfoliating face wash but i heard Apriocot or something like that exfoliating face wash works too.

Hope it all gets better for you!
