What works best to conceal acne scars?
By Sharon at RealSelf on 11 Jun 2009
i've given up trying to treat my acne scars. Lasers, creams, light treatments, etc aren't making a big difference. As a result i need to know how to cover up or conceal the acne scarring. My skin is brown / olive in tone.

As soon as I put it on my face, it felt softer, much softer to where my husband wanted to touch my face. Nothing else has helped my sensitive and upset, unruly skin. I feel better about myself already because I'm not ashamed to look at my face in the mirror, because it looks smooth now, and I don't just see lots of pores and little pockmarks from years of troubled skin and picking at my face. I don't imagine this will completely disappear the pockmarks, but I think it has given my skin the hydration it was really looking for, which helps my skin appear much, much smoother.
I'm hooked. My hubbie is using it too, he likes it.
Acne Treatment
My home-made natural scar lightener is very simple--i mix oatmeal with a little milk and nuke it for a few seconds. I then make a paste by adding lemon juice and a little honey. I apply it over my face and let it stay there for 5-10 minutes. I rinse and use moisturizer. I prefer Neutrogena products but I change brands once I am done with it to make sure my skin does not develop resistance to the product.
In 2007, I paid for a Fraxel peel. It made my skin glow but for this glow to continue, I have to maintain it so I still use my true and tried oatmeal "facial." My skin looks flawless with a light powder but I can still see where the scars are. My dermatologist even gave me an acid peel long ago but he told me the best advice he could is "Eat healthy, use non-comedogenic products, drink a lot of water, use sunblock, use moisturizer and remember that when a man's eyes are THIS CLOSE to your face, the light has to be off already." I laughed at that but saw the wisdom in that advice.
We cant do acne scar technically scars at all. They Hyper pigmentation, which is normally doesnt help to scar by using scar cream. Kojic acid, hydroquinone, or just look for help with Hyper pigmentation. And remember that sunscreen products bear the increased because the sun make Hyper pigmentation worse. Well, I don't really know any remedies for, but I know helps out staying. I hope this stuff is useful.
