I am a white male and I have had mild Acne for the past 7 years. My Ance is finally going away, but I have noticeable scars from the years of acne. What are some good, preferably cheap, acne scar treatments? Thanks for the help!

Bio oil….it is fantastic for scars and stratch marks etc…its not the cheapest thing to buy but its great and if you know where to get it…its not mega expensive. Try wilkinsons, or ebay, or ever home bargains which is where i get mine from!!
Don’t put tonnes on though as it can seem quite oily! Best off putting it on after cleansing at night…just a little drop.
Nothing really removes the scars. You can get a skin bleacher or something in that area…………..it will lighten the scars so they are hardly noticeable.
im SURE clearasil has something
or clean and clear
go to a pharmacy and ask a pharmacist
If you are having color issues with the scars, neutrogena has this enzyme peel product..it used to be under the visibly even line but now i think its under the ageless line, but its the EXACT same product. They’ve changed the package like 3 times already. You put it on for about 10 min twice a week and rub it off before rinsing. It cost about 20 dollars a tube but having brown skin (which makes it even harder to get rid of the marks) it really works (might wanna try and use the whole tube since you are paying for it). I wish i had before and after pictures to show you..ive gone through almost three tubes over the years. Make sure you are using sunscreen everyday too because its the sun that actually causes the acne scars to get darker.
the tube will kinda look like this although the color and label might be different..http://www.neutrogena.com/econsumer/ntg/productdetail.browse?segment=women&catId=1&subCatId=1&productId=361&target=/products/face/visibly-even-skin-polishing-enzyme-treatment.jsp
but with whatever you decide to use know that it will take a couple of months if not a few more before you actually notice the difference
Acne can be embarrassing at the best of times. I would try going into a site called Epinions.com and find out what users are saying about various products. Good hygene which involves regular bathing helps a lot. Good internal health is a major contributor to healthy skin. Consider going to see a wholistic health professional, they have some great supplements. Try and stay away from the junk foods. I’ve also had good luck with a product called Acnezine. Below are a couple of articles I found you might find helpful. All the best!
Depending on the type of scars you have, they may never go away. Once I hit my 20′s my acne started to decrease dramatically but like you I was left with some scars from the acne. I went to a dermatologist and she gave me a bleaching cream. This cream will work on acne footprints, these are reddish marks on the skin were the acne has actually discolored the pigments. These marks will go away on their own but it will take much longer (about a year or two for the skin to shed the older layers and allow the new skin to surface). When it comes to scars left from popping zits, well there is really no way to get rid of these. I have some scars left from when I had chicken pox and talked with a dermatologist about these and she informed me of a laser treatment which can help minimize these scars but it is rather expensive and depending on the depression of the scar may not have much affect.
The best advice would be to try a cream which has a bleaching component, after about 2 to 4 weeks it will begin to wash out the discoloration were some of the acne was, after that you can try other products but if you are dealing with scars from 7 years ago it may require some type of laser or surgery to completely remove. Good luck.
If your scars are not severe, i suggest you Zenmed Scar kit:In the simple terms ZENMED® Acne Scar Removal is a dual action system to scarring and imperfection.
1. MicroDermabrasion Complex.
2. Skin Eraser, a well-known and established skin lightening agent.
Zenmed Microdermabrasion gently resurfaces the skin, removing debris and old dead skin, revealing the new cells underneath and encouraging the production of new smoother, clearer skin.ItIf is completely natural and does not require the use of any machine or hand held device.

My dermotologist told me to use ordinary Scotch tape to help re-texturize my skin and reduce the appearance scarring. (I have the indented types of scarring.) It actually works, though takes time and regular repetition. He said it does bascially the same as dermabrasin by removing upper skin cells. What you do is: place a strip of clear tape over the scarred area, press it down, then peel it up. Repeat in same area until you feel a slight stinging. (Generally 1 piece of tape is good for a couple uses, then discard and get a new one.) Then move on to the next scarred area.
In my case, it can’t remove the scarring entirely, but it certainly has improve the general smoothness of my skin and lesson the appearance of scarring. It was noticeable for someone to ask me what I’d done to make my scarring look so much less..
