What to look for in an Acne Scars Cream

By Martha Fitzharris


Acne scarring is very common. That's why many people are constantly searching for the perfect solution to these bothersome blemishes. And what's worse, most people don't only deal with scarring, but they also have to deal with hyperpigmentation. It can be difficult to deal with if you don't know how to treat the problems. There are methods that can help you treat your condition, such as chemical peels and laser resurfacing, which can both help reduce the appearance of acne scarring. However, if you're not cautious these methods can lead to varying degrees of irritation. If you have sensitive skin then you should try an alternative such as a natural acne scar cream or microdermabrasion cream. Even though these types of products take longer to show results they are both gentle and can be used on all skin types.

Acne Scar Creams

When looking for the ideal scar cream, you need to pay special attention to the ingredients. This is a wise choice when investing in your skin's health. So, when looking at the ingredients make sure that they are capable of reducing scars. Ingredients of this caliber are Helix aspersa muller extract and rose hip oil (also known as rose hip seed oil).

Helix aspersa muller extract - more commonly known as snail serum - was rediscovered as a viable skin care ingredient less than twenty years ago. This re-discovery was done by workers in a snail farm that began to realize that their lesions, scars and blemishes were healing unusually quick. It wasn't long after that, that someone decided to investigate further and discover why the biological ingredient was so beneficial for skin problems.

Helix aspersa muller extract is a complex glycoconjugates compound that can help dissolve damaged tissue and replace it with healthy cells. It is also a powerful antioxidant that functions as a biological adaptogen. The adaptogen is a wonderful ally because it helps the skin support external stressors better.

Rose hip oil is another natural ingredient whose use dates back for centuries. It is such an effective natural product that indigenous people in South America are still using it to treat skin disorders such as dermatitis and rosacea.

This oil contains high levels of Vitamin A and Vitamin C. Both of these vitamins are essential for the health of your skin. Vitamin C helps regenerate tissues while Vitamin A helps increase cell turnover.

Acne Scars & Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion and microdermabrasion creams are specially fit to help eliminate raised acne scars.

Whether you decide to undergo a microdermabrasion treatment at a spa or in the privacy of your own home, both will rely on micro-crystals to "sand down" the skin. This abrasive action is minute but is intended to force the skin to heal itself. The damaged skin is removed and replaced with new, healthy skin cells.

These techniques are also helpful if you want to eliminate dark spots left behind by acne outbreaks.

Effective microdermabrasion creams contain abrading micro-crystals, along with some natural ingredients such as Helix aspersa muller extract. This is actually a perfect match of skin care ingredients. The crystals help eliminate dead, old and damaged skin while the snail serum helps promote the regeneration process.
