I am dark-skinned and need to get rid of dark acne spots on my face. Anyone have a tried and true method?

Answer 1

Try Mederma. It's for scars. Could work.

Answer 2

I struggled with acne for years and I finally found the solution that works for me. We have been fooled, tricked, deceived, and just plain lied to. It's time that someone put a stop to it, and everyone learn the truth!

Those of us who suffer from acne have usually been given 2 choices and neither of them work:

1. Over the counter remedies such as cleansers, creams, ointments, etc. These things have been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.

2. Go see a doctor and or dermatologist. They will generally prescribe prescription drugs which include topicals and or antibiotics. This, too, has been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.

I found a step-by-step program that cured my acne and it has never come back. It is amazing and doesn’t use any drugs or doctors. The truth is that acne can be cured…if we know the secret the doctors and drug companies don’t want us to know.

There is a great website: http://cure-my-acne.info/3daycure/ that has all the details. I really suggest you check it out and see if it works as well for you as it did for me.

Medications that Cause Dark Spots Certain medications sensitize the skin to the sun and other medications can cause dark spots without sun exposure. The most common offending medications are listed here: Estrogens Tetracyclines Amiodarone Phenytoin Phenothiazines Sulfonamides Further information about Dark skin is below, or review more specific information about these types of Dark skin: hyperpigmentation, purple skin, bronze skin, cafe-au-lait spots, Increased pigmentation, Skin, bronze, Black patches of skin, Persistent brown pigmentation or other types. There are various types of skin darkening. One type is hyperpigmentation that occurs when certain skin cells release more pigment (dark color). Darkening of the skin due to "blueness" is called cyanosis (see also blue skin) or purple skin. Darkening may sometimes occur from redness or bruising. Other types of skin darkening can result from sun exposure, certain dietary items, and certain chemicals; see also skin color changes for particular colors such as redness, blueness and other skin color changes.

Is it just the spots or the "spots and acne"? If it's just the spots, here are some things you can do to speed up baby new skin to the skin surface:-

1) Buy and use an at-home skin dermbrasion kit to to help you exfoliate your skin (especially those areas with the spots).

2) Use a licorice-based skin whitener (SK 2 is the BMW product that has licorice they call "Pitera" I think!). You may wanna check out http://www.godivaskincare.com or google for one.

3) Emu oil or evening primrose oil "softens" the spots so they may fade or "peel off" gradually without hurting new skin.

Answer 5

Use Clinque Post-acne treatment. It really helps. But for the most part...only time will fade the darkspots. Make sure that when you go out in the day time....use sunscreen on your face. Dark spots develop because the sun darkens the pimple scars.

Answer 6

My advice as an estetician to stay out of the sun and wear sunscreen daily.Peels and brightening agents can be effective in reducing some of these hyperpigmented areas.the best ingredients what u should look for in the creams are: hydroquinone(at least 2%) ,kojic acid,mulberry,licorice root,bearberry,azaleic acid.If a product says that is a skin whitener and it doesn't have at least one of these ingredients,its not gonna work,it doesn't worth the money.The dermatologist can prescribe a very high % of hydroquinone product,that's the best , I saw the results very in very little time and I was amazed.
