You can try Dermatix silicone gel. Maybe it will help you. :)

Invicible Scars is good but i think if you try taking proper care as in keeping your skin moisturized and having a proper diet intake, it'd give a great cover to the treatment you're going to do.

I wouldn't recommend you to go for laser treatments. They are expensive. If you can afford it comfortably, then it's ok. I had scars too and i used invicible scars along with precautions. Fortunately, it worked out for me

Good Day,
I also feel the same way to you too. I got scars around my face because of pimples. It's been almost a year now, and still I don't know what's the best solution for this. I try a lot of medication like salicylic, toner, moisturizer, etc. And now, I hope I can find the best solution for this scar.

laser treatments are way expensive. I recently went through a thread. They had this same problem with them. I suggested them invicible that i used.It's a good cream and not that expensive.Worked for me atleast.But it'd be great to consult a derma for safe side

I have some old acne scarring primarily on my cheeks for which I have had Microdermabrasion treatment. The treatment helped but didn't totally take care of the problem.

Now, I would like to continue the treatment but would like to know what is the best way to get faster results or should I just forget about ever being scar free.

Why don't you try laser treatment? I heard it has some success in treating acne scars.

This is good to know. I have tried everything from Burts Bees but way to oily. I’ve tried every product too at whole foods almost. I do the at home facial with the Riiviva Microdermabrasion tool for my acne scarring and it’s terrific. Its here at http://www.riiviva.com.
Do you have any recommendations as to what avenue to take for moisturizing with out all the oily residue that happens when I use oils. Thanks
