    Vitamin C serum,it helps to build up collagen and prevent scars from darkening any further.It has anti-oxidant qualities which prevent free radicals eg sunlight, pollution to attack your skin. Invest in a good one.

    Sun Block, it is an essential product as it helps to block the harmful rays of sunlight, which is the main cause of darkening scars and over production of melanin.

    Drinks lotsa of fruit juice or eat fruits with Vitamin C content.eg Kiwi and Orange.

    Glycolic gel will even skin tone and lighten scars too.

    Use few drops of lemon juice on Ur face sparingly once in a while, as it has bleaching properties.

    Facial scrub helps as it helps to unclog pores and smooth. It clears dead cell block up.

    I have had many surguries and lots of scars. The best thing I find is natural vitamin E cream. It is a little bit expensive but well worth it. Also for small cuts, Polysporin has a new creme out that reduces scars.

    You're definately not the only one. I had bad acne and now I am left with tons of scars and still have random break outs every now and then. I'm using a combination of Differin and Duac for my skin and it looks significantly better. Of course you can only get these products by prescription only so you'll need to see a dermatologist if you haven't already. As for the amount of time needed for the products to work, it's going to take alot longer than 2 months. As they always say, time heals everything.

    There is a product available over the counter called Mederma, that clears up scars, it's available at Wal*Mart in the pharmacy section where band-aids are. It works really well, I used to recommend it all the time to people when they came to my pharmacy asking for scar removal products. Good Question and best of luck to you and yours. - James
