Drugstore product for acne scars?

whats the best?Drugstore product for acne scars?
I have horrible acne. What you have is most likely not scars.


Scars are pits or depressions from acne. I went to the derm, he told me the reddish purpleish marks had to do with blood veins. He said they will heal in 6-12 months. If you have those pits, those are uncurable, although there is temporary treatments. A lot of them though.Drugstore product for acne scars?
Use a gentle soap (the ones formulated specifically for acne or containing salicylic acid are irritating, drying, and ineffective). Pick a non-comedogenic soap. The most effective for me has been Purpose Gentle Cleansing Bar. If you prefer a liquid cleanser, go with Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash (though the bar soap has been slightly more effective for me). Use your bare hands, not a washcloth, and be gentle. Wash your face twice a day -- but if your face is very oily, you may need to wash it more than that. Pat gently with a towel to dry. If you have washed your face in the shower, then wait 10 minutes to let your skin dry. If you have washed your face in the sink, then wait 5 minutes.


Use a topical benzoyl peroxide ointment. The best by far is ZAPZYT Acne Treatment Gel. There is nothing that comes close in its effectiveness and agreeability with skin. Apply gently over acne areas (don't rub in), just glide your finger over the areas. Make sure it's absorbed into the skin without rubbing it in.


I have not tried this -- but I hear Lac-Hydrin Five Moisturizing Lotion (or any other such AHA lotion) is good for even skin tone. So be sure to check out a good AHA lotion.


Twice a week in the morning after washing face, mix a tablespoon of lemon juice with a tablespoon of yogurt and apply to face. Leave on for 10 minutes, then rinse. Don't use any other products just at this time after washing.
I'm an RN and I worked with a woman that had the worst acne and acne scars I have ever seen. She went to Dr. Chenault Haley, one of the more prominent dermatologist in Atlanta. I noticed one day that her face looked as smooth as a baby's butt so I asked what had she done and she said that Dr. Haley told her to shave her face every morning (not eyebrows). You could try calling his office to confirm or go to website. If you google him you will find several listings for him. Good luck, it isn't hopeless.
here are some ways to treat your acne
