how do i get rid of acne scars?

Question

and no, i do NOT need acne wash/cleansers because i've been treating it pretty well
i still wash my face twice a day
or if i do heavey exercises

what i need
is something that'll help my scars
because when i was in 4th grade (When i first got acne) i kept popping them/squeezing them like crazy
and then two years later i found out it was bad and i stopped doing it
but i still have all these scars that are like red but they're not bumpy or dents
how can i get rid of it?
and surgery is out of the question because im only 13
and anything under 30 dollars would probably be best

Answer 1

I used to have the same problem. I found that exfoliating 2-3 times a week helps, and also, I used Neutrogena's Advanced Solutions Acne Mark Fading Peel. You can get it at Wal-Mart. Walgreens, Rite-Aid, etc. for about $15.

Good luck! :)

Answer 2

St. Ives Acne and Blemish wash is an exfoliator that will remove most of your normal scars in a month and for the larger scars, you'll need to use silicone scar sheets or the rub in stuff, but it won't take 4 weeks. More like 3 months.

Some places have a spray that slowly gets rid of acne scars. Just forgot what they were called....

Answer 4

While it took little less than two months for me to really see a difference, my acne, blackheads and whole lot of other skin problems I had such as eczema had completely cleared! It was totally amazing...
