Retin-A Micro was the only acne cream that worked for me. I had really bad acne and they left a lot of scars. By using this product, the acne disappeared and the retin-a caused my skin to peel the top layer along with the acne scars. That's why you only use it on infected areas but now my skin has a lot less scarring. I say about 70% is now gone!

Retin-A can >>minimize<< the appearance of acne scars, but won't get rid of them completely. For a more effective treatment, try microdermabrasion treatments. Retin-A force-exfoliates the skin, but it's not a strong enough product to remove enough skin to erase deep pockets from acne scarring.

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.
The secret is never to touch the spots
Tips on how to treat acne and achieve perfect clear skin in as little as 7 days?

Hi, If you are scars are newer say 2-3 months, then you can use Retin-A. If you are scars are older say more than 3-months to years, then you should check whether it has turned to keloid scars, in that case, depends on the size and area you can avail various treatment and Kelo-cote gel in affected areas(to reduce the visibility of the scars).

Hi,
I am a dermatologist by profession and within a careeer of 10 years I have seen lots of acnee problems. According to me Red and white pimpless 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 pimmples 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.

Might sound weird and something crazy to do. But, toothpaste really works.
Don't have to go out and buy a expensive brand use the one you have at your
house. How long you leave it on is truly up to you. Some leave it on for a few
minutes. Some leave it on till it starts to split. And don't leave it on
overnight. I'm not a wild sleeper I sleep on my back so I leave it on overnight
since I don't go to bed till like 1 in the morning and have to wake up at 5.
