ive been using that palmers cocoa butter or whatever its called for about 3 months now, with minimal improvement on my facial scars. when i go out in the sun my scars get red but not the rest of my face. in fact the unaffected areas around the scarring on my cheeks gets lighter, making the scars more obvious.
so i guess my question is what else should i be doing to help improve the scars on my cheeks?
and what kind of sun block should i use in this rediculous heat?

Check in to purchasing Proactive. They have all the things that you need in their skin care line. It is the best out there and everyone including me that uses absolutely loves it.

Right now my skin is perfectly clear, for the first time in 3 years. It's been about 9 weeks and all my acne is gone. It is such a great feeling to wake up with clear skin. Holistic Acne Treatment Guide?

Go back to your dermatologist & ask about using Retin-A or Differin to dimish your scars. These prescription products promote cell turnover & stimulate collagen production.
Also ask about microdermabrasion treatments - either through a doctor or a salon.
Your skin may be a bit more sensitive after using Accutane so it's important to get your doctor's input.
As for sun block, I like Neutrogena's sun screens the best.

go to ur nearest salon and ask for a acne peel or a facial
the scars is just dead skin and the pores around it is clogged
Sun block for face is DEFINITELY clinique's super city block sunblock
its really good plus it has antioxidants and it doesnt clog ur pores its oil free
and the color of the sunblock is kind of beige so it can act as a lil bit foundation and it makes ur face look lighter and it will kinda cover ur scars
i've been using for months now it so good

There are many treatment options but almost all involve seeing a dermatologist. Most over the counter medications do not work.

The juice of basil or tulsi leaves heals the skin and acne scars. More home remedies available at http://www.wellnesstalk.org/acne.html

Go to the dermatologist. They are the only ones who can determine what you need base on your skin type. Good luck!

use mederma.. it is used to help improve scars.. you can find it at your local pharmacy.. Get a sunblock that says that it's non-comedogenic this means that it wont clog ur pores to cause acne. Hope this helped

another good brand is Keri.
