Over-the-counter treaments for acne scars/uneven skin?

Question

i have large pores and oily skin though it gets dry over my healing acne, i also have acne scars and an uneven surface on my skin from past breakouts. I do not want to have surgery or laser treaments, professional skin peels etc. as my skin is not THAT bad What products have worked for you to remedy these problems?
*large pores
*acne scars(pitted or icepick scars)
*uneven skin surface

i've used proactiv and it didn't work, it just made my skin dry. also i have sensitive skin and do not want dermabrasion treatments, i am debating using the arbonne clear system or the Exposed system, has anyone used the latter and recomend it?

Answer 1

www.sensaria.com

get the sea silk mask (and some of the other products; whatever catches your eye).

These products are part of an in-home-party line, and they are not sold as healing products, but they do the job.

Answer 4

Large Pores can be made smaller. I am living proof.
Tip #1: Lay off makeup, if your where it.

Tip #2: Keep your body detoxed by drinking prune juice or taking flax.

Tip #3: Stop eating coldcut meats and processed foods.

Tip #4: Continue drinking plenty of water

Tip #5: Cleanse your skin with a natural, anti-bacterial soap

Tip #6: Scrub your face with baking soda and lemon juice.

Tip #7: Try steaming your face for free by heating up a bowl of water for 3 - 5 minutes and then holding your face over it for 10 to 15 seconds. Do this at least 3 times per week. Follow with ice cubes.

These natural home remedies that I suggested worked decent; however, I would also suggest that you try a natural, exfoliating pore-shrinking face scrub. No More Shame Large Pore Shrinking Kit, made by Beauty 4 Ashes Christian Health & Beauty Co., contains pore shrinking essential oils that penetrate your skin and reduce your pores . Essentials are extremely powerful and work faster and better than any other ingredients I have used. I haven't used or seen any product like this before. My pores are definitely smaller.

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

Answer 6

I have only one word for this problem Arbonne Clear Advantage. unlike over the counter products which contain chemicals that will scar your skin with mineral oil and petroleum by products and cause pre-mature wrinkles. Arbonne Clear Advantage is toxin-free and plant-based that wil shrink your pores, even your skin tone,and restore it to the way nature intended; gorgeous and glowing...kiss acne bye-bye.
The key ingredients contain: Witch hazel, hops, vitamins A, C, E, 1% salicylic acid, alfalfa, dandelion, licorice and peppermint extracts.
I love these products and use them everyday!!I am absolutely passionate about their products and the company and get excited when I can share it with people who don't know. I am a consultant and would be more than happy to tell you more information on how you can get them for the same price as OTC products.

Answer 7

I reccomend go to a dermotologist like myself. They cant help you much, but if you want to recover the scars, then you should just take a laser treatment. Thats all you can do really, unless you let time pass, skin usually renews its surface. ( I used to have some really deep icepick scars around 2 years ago that i can see improving right now). Just keep your face clear, and make sure the acne doesnt return again!

Answer 8

For large pores & uneven skin texture, these cleansers have helped me: 1) Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Face Cleansing Pads & 2) Murad AHA/BHA face wash

For my light acne scars - only prescription products have helped me (Retin-A or Differin).

Note: These products won't help w/ icepick scars. You need to consult a dermatologist.
