How to get rid of acne scars?

I used to have a lot of acne and I kept scratching my face which is why I have acne scars now
I regret it so much
Does anyone know of any home remedies?
Every time someone talks to me I can't help but notice that they stare at my acne and I have the worst self confidence because of it :frown:
facial scrubs can help, especially glycolic scrubs. chemical peels at private clinics
fresh lemon juice, honey and sugar. mix it together and then rub it into your face - it'll gently exfoliate your face for you and therefore reduce the appearance of scarring.

Hi don't worry there are many solutions available for your acne scars!
I find sudocrem works amazingly also at reducing acne and as it an an antiseptic it prevents the acne from forming overnight. Apply a small layer overnight but don't apply a thick layer because it is comodogenic and will clog pores but a very thin layer will help it dramatically and help heal the scars. Also apply lemon juice which will help heal them and drink plenty of water with vitamins especially vitamin A and E to replenish skin and eat almonds high in these and you will notice a difference hopefully within a few weeks

You can use fresh lemon juice diluted with water. Clean your face at night and using a cotton pad, lightly cover all the area of your face with scars with the mixture.

I use it and it helps a lot because lemon is a natural bleach :smile:
Alternatively, you can use tea tree oil but only if you don't have acne anymore - it can cause a breakout (some peopel say). (I still use it and it doesn't cause any more acne than usual lol.)

Hope it helps :smile:

Is it hyper pigmentation? which is treatable easily at home with patience or actual physical damage like holes in skin.

Lemon/Lime juice/Baking powder etc... just search on internet. BTW don't expect any miracles overnight takes time.

Using Lemon juice on skin helps to get rid of scars, I have tried it and it works all I can say. But if your skin is sensitive then it can go opposite and cause bad to your skin.
Do a quick search and get some natural remedies to heal it.
