I hear it's good for fading scars over time, but I was wondering if it could slightly smooth out ice-pick marks left over from acne. I'm not looking for a miracle solution, and I certainly don't want microdermabrasion or anything like that, but I would really like healthier-looking skin.
Also, I still have some oily-ness problems and the odd pimple, so could the cocoa butter lotion's moisturizers/oils possibly bring up acne? (I have a bottle of Palmer's, in case you're wondering.)
If you have any other topical products to suggest instead of cocoa butter, keep in mind that they must be very affordable, and it has to be something I have access to at a store like Walgreens, Walmart, or a general drugstore.

Hi, cocoa butter can help with scars but vitamin E oil, you have to get the pure oil, no additives, and use it every day on the scar for a good month to see results. I had cancer surgery and my doctor told me to put it right on the nasty scar, and it faded the awful ugly redness and indentation down to a thin white line, alot less noticeable. There are actually other scar kits out there in stores, I saw one Meladerma, but it was pricey $34.00, the vitamin e oil you can get at Walmart or Walgreens, even Wegmans if you have one near you, it was $4.00 at Wegmans, probably less at the other stores. Supermarkets usually sell it too.

As a Pharmacy assistant i see these type of problems all the time, Try a product called BioOIL this used over a few months will reduce your scars and pigmentation of the skin leaving you will a even skin tone, but it does take time like many products so give it a chance to work. Just remember to cleanse your face daily. Good Luck

Hi,
I am a dermatologist by profession and within a careeer of 10 years I have seen lots of acne problems. According to me Red and white pimples are the worst and painful. Acneprone skin is very sensitive, even if you touch it once the redness will increase with itching. According to me there is no magical way to heal your pimples over night as this is the puffed part of your skin due to the bacteria.
In simple words try to improve your diet and have lots of water that helps in healingg process. Un-necessary oily food should be avoided to get a healthy spotless skin.
