What is a good treatment for pockmarks – acne scars?
Like everyone has stated, Vitamin E is known for its effect to reduce inflammation and scarring (try J A S O N’s natural product of 5,000 IU of E). However, because the acne scar is basically a indentation within the skin, I would definitely recommend a weekly chemical peel (philosophy has a great product called microdelivery chemical peel; and it lasts a long time: www.philosophy.com). Meanwhile, 4 times a week I would use a microdermabrasion cleanser like Queen Helene’s natural product (www.drugstore.com) In addition, I would encourage you to consider a probiotic for potential future scars. Lastly, if you are really desperate, Retin-A topical creams and gels are perfect for deep scars. Tazorac is a great product after your skin gets settles with it. Not to mention, it is a wonderful anti-aging treatment. Follow a consistent regimen of a gentle cleanser, use SPF and a moisturizer.
