How do I get rid of my acne scars on my face?

I use all Neautrogena products (some new stuff they got in) and it works well and I have no acne, but I have acne scars on my face.
How do I get rid them? Especially before February 6, because I take my senior cap and gown pics on that day.

Mederma is your best bet to get rid of those scars.

I know what you mean! i have this nasty scar on my cheek, it looks like a small crater. yuck!
but i haven’t looked into it but i know some products can reduce or get rid of them.
ummm mederma ??
i have to try it cuz i had same problem in my skin
go to the drug store & buy liquid Vitamin E & place it on your scars every night..it’ll help
It depens on what kind of scars you have. I have used every topical treatment I could think of and they never worked for me. I am considering laser surgery.
Try using a glycolic peel home treatment. If you have not used it before, start with the 10% strength. I was told it actually works. If the scars are still visible, use a good concealer (like L’Oreal True Match liquid concealer) for the photo shoot. Good luck!
If they are raised scars, laser would be the best. If they are acne scars that have left indentations, I would recommend a filler, like Juvederm. It’s not permanent (lasts a year or less), but it works. You would have to do it like tomorrow to make sure swelling goes down.
Mederma has never worked on any of my scars.
Microdermabrasion is good, but probably not so soon before your pics.
Does the studio taking the pictures offer “touch ups”? I’ve seen how they get rid of marks on the face and everything. Try to find out, that way you won’t have to do anything about it over the next week.
Good luck!
fade creams im not sure which one i just asked a simular question.
Acne/Scars:
Mix baking soda and witch hazel/or water together until it comes to a good constancy, and then spread on your face and leave it on for 10-15 minutes. these two things are very inexpensive and it’s very easy to do since there is only two ingredients.
Toothpaste is good for drying out your pimple (for some people). Put only a little bit before you go to sleep. Some people use this as a mask but DON‘T EVER DO THIS! It can change your skin tone and make your face discolored.
Aloe vera helps scars lighten and less noticeable (lemon, cocoa butter, witch hazel, and tea tree oil do the same thing). Use the gel (of the aloe plant) or the real thing.
Try to buy a cleanser that works for you, and when you wash your face, open your pores with hot water (not too hot, or it will dry out your skin) and massage it gently into your skin. Then, use cold water at the end to close you pores. The smaller your pores are, the less likely you’re prone to pimples. Clearasil, Neutrogena, and proactive are good choices to start if you want a cleanser. Don’t use body soaps because they dry out your skin. Don’t scrub too hard either, because it can irritate your skin.
An egg yoke can be used to make you pores smaller. I used this when I had pimples. Just take the egg yolk (the yellow part) and leave it on your face for 10-15 minutes and rinse off with warm water and then splash your face with cold water.
Keep your hair out of your face because the oils in your hair could go into your pores. Change you sheets because they’re are trapped with dirt, oils, etc.
Zinc (type of vitamin) is the one of the best things you can use to get rid of pimples. You can buy these almost about any large store (such as Wal-Mart or Shaws.) Have one tablet per day and try to cut down the junk food and replace it with vegetables and fruits. Drink lots of water and don’t pop you acne. Popping acne can lead to acne scars.
If you have sensitive skin, don’t use make up. Some of the things in make up can clog your pores and cause pimples. Keep your hands out of your face as much as you can because you hands a full of bacteria and oils.
