If you can afford, microdermabrasion will give best results.

Or use Glycolic acid peels.

This is one of the most commonly used Alpha Hydroxy Acids in skin care. It is derived naturally from sugarcane juice. Glycolic acid has a very low molecular size. The low molecular size allows glycolic acid to penetrate skin faster. The dead skin cells, that bind with the skin, are removed by glycolic acid by loosening the glue, that sticks the dead cells with the skin. As the glue loosens, the dead cells exfoliate giving a cleaner look to the skin. Shedding dead cells faster also allows growth of new cells. Glycolic acid smoothens fine wrinkles. This acid also helps in treatment of blackheads and dries out the excess surface oil on the skin. It is thought that glycolic acids stimulate collagen production to some extent. This acid also keeps the skin moisturized by keeping water bound to the skin and prevents drying of skin. It can also bleach some spots on the skin. One added advantage of glycolic acid is that it helps other skin care ingredients reach deeper in the skin and makes them more effective. Glycolic acid is on the frontier of skin care.

Superficial Chemical Peeling


Mild or superficial peels are carried out with alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs). These acids are natural in origin but now most of them are being synthetically manufactured. The popular acid for mild peeling is glycolic acid.

Effects Of Mild Peels:
A mild peel is usually done to improve sun damaged skin and reduce roughness, remove dead skin from the skin surface that allows fresh skin to grow faster, remove very fine skin lines, etc. This kind of peeling can only superficially improve the skin appearance by removing the dead skin cells from the uppermost layer of the skin. This treatment also helps in controlling acne. Sometimes, mild peeling is performed to prepare the skin for medium depth or deep peeling. Mixed with bleach, this peel will also treat some uneven pigmentation.

About The Procedure:
This treatment generally takes about ten minutes during which the doctor applies the peeling solution to your face. No protective covering is applied over the treated area and you can go to work after getting treated. Your doctor may apply this peel at weekly or other suitable intervals. The normal strength of AHA such as glycolic acid for mild peeling is normally 12%. You may be given a maintenance cream of an AHA in lower concentration to be used every day at home.

In the beginning of the treatment, AHA peels may cause some redness, irritation or stinging. As the skin adjusts to the peel, these effects disappear. With your skin maintenance program at home, you will get a different fresh looking skin after some days. The results may not be immediately visible. Sun protection is necessary with this treatment. Don't expose yourself to sun without taking adequate protection. For more details, please consult with your doctor.

Skin is the biggest organ of the human body. Don't a abuse it by scrubbing it. There are wonderful over-the-counter remedies you could use. Products with benzol peroxide will not only heal acne breakouts, but fade the scars over a relatively short time. Go easy on your skin. You're going to have it for a very long time.

Answer 4

Something like a razorblade can really leave terrible cuts on your face and arms. I seriously doubt anyone will even notice the scarring from acne with the cuts there. Just don't go overboard here, a little goes a long ways.
