What methods and products have you tried to help treat acne scars?

Specifically body acne scars. What has worked for you, if anything?

I have tried Mederma but stopped using it after a tube because I saw no improvement.

Since then I have been using Bio Oil and pure Vitamin E oil and have noticed a slight difference after two months. I have recently started doing weekly glycolic acid peels (have done 2 so far).

I am hoping to feel more comfortable wearing a swim suit in public next by next summer.

    The best natural treatment for acne scars I've discovered is, DRUMROLL...... Lemons!

    Well anything that has vitamin A, C, E is going to help in your acne scars. Depending on how light or deep your scars are, lemons or any other citrus fruits like oranges can help you lighten and probably remove acne scars.

    As I am typing this, I am currently using a vitamin patch on my scars. Used it for a few days now and am seeing great results, just like lemons.

    One thing though, if you decide to use lemons on your scars, the acidic property of the lemons might cause irritations. If your skin gets irritated, stop using it immediately.

    The Lemon Mask

    Squeeze the juice of the lemon out into any container. Wipe the lemon essence on your skin evenly and relax for 15 minutes before rinsing your face with clean water.

    The Aloe Mask

    My sister has been using aloe vera for acne scars removal and the results has also been great! If you have a home garden, I recommend you go plant some aloe plants. Cut the aloe in half and extract the flesh.

    Using the flesh of the plant, apply it evenly on your skin, leave for 30 minutes and relax. Because unlike lemon essence, aloe vera is not wholly in liquid form. So it might take a longer period of time for your skin to absorb the nutrients.

    By the way, how would you describe the scars of your skin? on a scale of 1-10...

    Thanks for letting me share my knowledge on this matter.

    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.
