I'll give you all the advice i know.
Remedy 1: Vitamin E
Try applying vitamin E to the scarred area three to four times daily to help reduce its visibility. If you keep at it, you should see some results after one to two weeks. It takes a long time before you get really noticeable effects.
Remedy 2: Tomato
Placing slices of tomato on your skin can act as an astringent to break up oil, lift away dead skin and help prevent acne. The pulp of the tomato has the strongest astringent properties.
Remedy 3: Toothpaste
Apply a dab of toothpaste on your pimple before bed. This is useful for new pimples, especially big ones. Whenever I spot a new pimple, I try this. Usually the next morning, it will be dried out enough to pop on its own.
Remedy 4: Honey and pearl
A useful facial pack for acne is honey and pearl powder.
Apply a mask of it for 15 minutes. If you can keep doing it every week, your skin will become lighter and smoother.
Remedy 5: Lemonsf
Lemon juice is effective in lightening the dark spots left by acne and pimples.
First, cleanse the scarred area with water. Soak up a teaspoon of lemon juice with a cotton ball and smooth it over the marks. Leave the juice in place for ten minutes, then rinse.
Be careful how often you use lemon juice: it can have the side effect of making your skin light sensitive. Make sure to cover treated areas with sunscreen before going outdoors.
Remedy 6: Tea tree oil
Some medications made from natural ingredients, such as rosehip seed oil and tea tree oil, will not only help to heal scars, but also significantly work to prevent future scarring.
Remedy 7: Fruits
In addition to eating fresh fruits to supply your skin with collagen-building vitamin C, you can also smear them onto your face as an acidic exfoliant.
Puree a quarter cup of pineapple and smooth it onto your face. Leave it in place 10-15 minutes, then rinse.
Pineapple contains ascorbic acid which helps brighten the face and fade acne. Apple works similarly. Soak a slice of apple in hot water till soft, then apply it to any scarred areas. Leave it for 20 minutes, and then rinse.
Remedy 8: Leeks
Peel the membrane from white are of the leek while watching TV or resting. Place a peeling over scarred areas for ten minutes every day. You can secure it with a bandage to keep it from falling off. Keep this up for a few weeks and you'll see the color fade a lot.
Remedy 9: Ginger
After cleaning your skin, cut a few slices of fresh ginger and apply to the affected area for 20 minutes. You'd better do this laying down, otherwise the ginger may fall off. It might burn a little, but probably not too much. The ginger may leave behind a bit of redness after you removeit, but don't be too worried. Just wipe off and have a good rest. In the morning, the scar should become smooth, and will hopefully fade completely within two weeks.
Remedy 10: Granulated salt and sugar
Some netizens said granulated salt and sugar are useful. Personally, I prefer sugar. After washing your face, mix some sugar and water in your hand and rub your face for two minutes, then rinse.
The best treatment is prevention. You should try to prevent acne from ever forming. Below are some ways to reign in the red bumps:
1. Include green, leafy vegetables and fruits in your diet. Drink a lot of water to to regularly to flush out toxins, and don't forget to drink a glass before breakfast to flush out the stomach. Avoid deep-fried snacks.
2. Try to have at least one bowel movement per day.
3. Get to bed before 11pm. You have to give your body enough rest time or it won't heal. Don't snack before bed
4. Don't use a computer any longer than you need to, and keep your phone a distance from your bed. Theradiation both put out can have noticeable effects on your skin.
5. Change your bedsheets and pillow covers often. Those areas are like magnets for dead cells, dander, mites and dust - all of which can cause an acne breakut. Some skin experts even recommend changing pillow cases daily.
6. Resist the urge to pop your pimples. It can cause even more damage to the skin and worsen scarring. Resist the temptation!
7. If you get acne on your body, try not to wear tight clothes that will prevent your skin from breathing. You may want to avoid scarves, headbands and caps which can also collect dirt and oil.
Lastly, don' expect scars to vanish overnight. The ultimate remedy to remove acne scars is persistence. Be confident about yourself and believe you are beautiful, and be confident that others find you beautiful too .

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.
In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.
Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.
In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.
If you would like to learn how to treat your acne permanently and regain your health and wellbeing, without drugs, without typical acne treatments, and without any side effects, then this will be the most important letter you will ever read.

Go to Shoppers and get the Neostrata Microdermabrasion kit. It's about $60 but contains 10 treatments. Use it weekly (or twice a week if not causing any irritation), and do this at least 20 times. I know that sounds like a lot of work and is expensive, but it works quite well if used consistently. Also, try using a cream with AHA. Neostrata also has a 10% glycolic acid cream or lotion that works well. Glycolic acid is the best AHA because it is the smallest molecule and is best absorbed by the skin. It works to exfoliate and smooth the skin over time. In two months, your skin will look completely different.
P.S. Don't put vitamin E oil on your face. It is good to help scars on other parts of the body, but will likely make you break out because it is so thick and will clog pores. Try taking Udo's Oil Blend. It is available in health food stores (in the refrigerator). It is very high in antioxidants and will improve your skin, hair, and nails in no time!

You can buy Mederma in Canada at a place like Wal-Mart, but it's generally not recommended for acne scars. A better product for you would be something designed specifically for acne scars, such as Neutrogena's Acne Mark Fading Feel. Neutrogena has a whole line of products designed to reduce the appearance of scars caused by acne. You could also see your doctor for a prescription for Retin-A, which I have found works very well.
Overall, treatment for acne scars depends on the extent of your scarring. For example, red marks will fade on their own over time, but deeper "ice-pick" scars (they look like tiny holes in your skin or "craters') will not fade away with any over-the-counter or prescription treatment, and require lasers or microdermabrasion.

This is the #1 honey facial mask recipe!!! It works amazingly well :)
http://is.gd/7dE7N1
Raw honey works incredibly well because not only is it natural, but it has anti-bacterial properties that works just as good and probably better than any lab-made cream in the market. I Highly recommend honey facial masks.
Pimple scars ahhhh!?

Your going to have to lighten your skin pigment. And the only way to do that without going to a doctor, is to put some sort or acid on it. It's not as bad as it sounds. Just think of things that have acid in them. Lemons, oranges, grapefruit. citric acid!!! People can go on and on about what to use and what a tomato and salt does and blah blah blah, but that stuff only works if you have acne already. Lightening your skin is the only thing that works
