Are there any good OTC products to help reduce acne scarring on my face without it being too expensive?

Question

I also need something that wont be too harsh or add extra oil cuz my face is already pretty oily!

Answer 1

first of all, avoid using products formulatted with mineral oil and animal products. These do not get absorbed by the skin and what it does is that it clogs your pores. In fact mineral oil is the 2nd worse thing you could do to your skins health #1 is the sun, it is like rubbing car oil on your skin and exposing yourself to the sun... Animal product come form rendering plants, these plants pick all dead animals from the road, meatmarkets etc and what they do is put them in a huge pot and squash everything inside and boil it the oil that comes to the top is what other companies use to formulate their "beauty" products ... gross i know.. eww lipstick and aghhh .. anyway, the important thing to do is read your ingredients and use the right ones regularly .... also bathing daily cleanses the skin, but it also can dry it out, causing it to look dull, but most importantly, it may cause irritation and remove the natural emolients your body produces to keep it healthy. When you bathe, always use a moisture-rich cleanser, and always pamper your skin with a daily moisturizer. I use arbonne products.... http://arbonnepuertorico.myarbonne,.com (under shop online) because they are botanically based and you could really see the difference, i had acne and lots of blemishes and my skin has cleared so much thanks their line clear advantage , it really is amazing and they have everything for everybody.... theire deep pore cleansing mask and their scrub is just perfect for eliminating the blackheads. Also their face wash is great because it cleanses without drying and removes all traces of makeup and dirt.... works wonderful for me and the bes thing is that you could shop online, receive it in your house and if ther is something you do not like about the products which is rarely to happen, you return the item and they give your money back .... also check this site from the fox news about toxins in beauty products.....

Answer 2

Not sure about over the counter ones, but i know that you can get a prescription from a dermatologist. It's a cream that kinda acts as a chemical peal. You apply it everynight (i used it for a year and it greatly reduced my acne scars - and i had very bad acne). So even though my skin was sensitive during the time i was using the cream (readness and peeling), it was worth it. I switched to a milder cream now, but it's still the same process. It's great at preventing wrinkles too. The strong creami used at first was called Tazorac. And now i switched to a milder one so my face is not as sensitive: Differin. If you get a chance to go to a dermatologist you should ask them about it. They are highly recommended.
