Acne Scar Products: A Review

Acne Scar Removal or Reduction

Just when you thought your fight against those reddish spots are over, you’ll realize that your pimples have left some ugly scars on your face.

Getting rid of your acne scars is another fight that you have to get over with.  But there’s no need for you to worry about not being able to make it.  You have a handful of options on how to get rid of your acne scars. 

If you are not up to going through the risky and costly cosmetic surgical procedures to have your acne scar removed, you can always use non-invasive treatments in the form of topical preparations and chemical solutions.

So what’s the best brand of acne scar product in town? Here are your choices:

Clearasil

Aside from its acne control products, Clearasil has a wide range of products specifically formulated to make acne scars disappear. 

Clearasil’s Ultra Acne Scar Care System has three specific acne scar products: the Exfoliating Acne Wash to renew the skin and to prevent further pimple breakouts; the Protecting Day Lotion which contains SPF 15 to protect the healing skin; and the Night Repair Formula which heals the scar and improves its appearance.

These Clearasil products contain wheat extracts, Vitamin C, and some natural skin conditioners.

ZENMED

ZENMED offers skin care products that combine western medical techniques with eastern herbal remedies.

ZENMED’s acne scar products come in one handy kit that works in two ways: reducing the uneven texture of acne scars, and reducing the discoloration caused by scarring. 

With this, ZENMED’s products contain two types of formulation: the MicroDermabrasion Complex which has exfoliating ingredients that evens out the surface of the damaged skin and improves it overall, and the Skin Eraser which soothes the skin and lightens the dark-pigmented areas caused by acne scars.

Neutrogena

Neutrogena’s products are not limited to pimple and blemish prevention alone.  The company also offers skin rejuvenating and blemish concealer products. 

Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Facial Peel is known to be one of the most effective skin peeling formula available in the market.  The peeling solution contains CelluZyme which imitates the skin’s natural exfoliating process by breaking bonds between healthy and damaged skin. 

Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Facial Peel is used by leaving some thin layer of application over your skin for ten minutes.  You might experience slight tingling in the process, which means that the peeling solution is indeed working.  After rinsing the facial peel, it reveals a fresh and new skin texture.

You can also use Neutrogena’s Healthy Skin Smoothing Stick Concealer to hide acne scars.    This concealer is oil-free and comes in different shades to suit your skin’s complexion.

Other Brands

Other popular choices in new acne treatments include Zia Natural Skincare Pumpkin Exfoliating Mask and the oil-free and alcohol-free Dermaclear cleanser, and Burt’s Bees Doctor Herbal Blemish Stick. 

There are many other acne scar products available in the market.  They can come either as exfoliants which remove dead skin cells, or as skin conditioning solutions which help soften the rough areas of the damaged skin.  You may also use a combination of both to speed up the healing process of your acne scar.
