Want Gentle Acne Scar Removal? Try a Natural Acne Scars Cream

By Martha Fitzharris


One of the gentlest ways you can get rid of acne scars, is by trying acne scar creams. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of these products depends greatly on their ingredients.

The ingredients used should be able to boost collagen. Make sure, however, to avoid products that contain collagen because collagen molecules are too large to penetrate the skin. Other important ingredients that should appear in every acne scar cream are copper peptides, Vitamin C, and key amino acids.

Other natural ingredients that are very effective in treating scars are snail serum and rose hip oil. Snail serum is highly effective for treating scars because it contains a complex combination of enzymes, co-enzymes, peptides, and other molecules. This complex mix of components can help breakdown damaged cells into amino acids and allow them to be removed from the spot.

Rose hip seed oil contains high levels of vitamin C, vitamin A, and essential fatty acids which work together to eliminate scar tissue and help boost the generation of new and healthy skin cells.

Rose hip oil can be used either in oil form or as part of another skin care product, even a scar cream. However, if what you're looking for are the benefits obtained with snail serum, you can only acquire them through the use of acne scar creams and other skin care products.

Acne Scar Removal Options

Scar creams can be quite effect against acne scars. However, you may be looking for a quicker fix. In this case, you can get rid of acne scars through other treatment options such as dermabrasion, chemical peels and surgery.

Dermabrasion is similar to chemical peels, but it used abrading crystals to remove the skin. There are gentler and harsher dermabrasion treatments. It all depends on the type of crystals that are being used.

If you are thinking about undergoing this type of treatment you will need anesthesia and pain medication. If the scars you're trying to treat are deep, you may need successive session.

Chemical peels use special chemicals to remove the different skin layers. The intensity of a chemical peel can be superficial, medium, or deep. You will know which intensity of peel is best for you by observing the extent of damage you are trying to treat.

If you need to treat severe acne scarring, then you may require more than one session. If you are planning to undergo a chemical peel treatment, then you should be aware that it will require anesthesia, wound care, and pain medication as well as a couple weeks of recovery. After your skin has healed, you will need apply a sunscreen or sun block lotion.

Surgical intervention includes procedures such as excision and subcutaneous incision. Excision or punch excision is used for ice pick scars. Subcutaneous incision or subcision is generally used for rolling scars or boxcar scars.
