Would this or a salicylic chemical peel be better for reducing acne scars

Lactic acid peel 50% with ionic acid and bearberry worked wonders for me I got an immediate improvement after m skin peeled, don't worry 50% lactic acid peel isn't as strong as a twenty percent salicylic acid. Also I used a hydroquinone cream compounded by pharmacy from deem prescription 4%hydroquinone, and retinol and cortisone cost 50$ has lasted for over 6 months of usage and wear Sunscreen always! Hope this helps.

In my opinion, the salicylic peel is better for acne/acne scars (I also have acne). This product is better for fine lines & improving skkn texture. You might also want to try glycolic acid peels...These worked better for me than salicylic.

Thank you for the great question! Our Vitamin C serum and Salicylic Acid are really totally different products. Salicylic Acid is a great anti-inflammatory agent and great for reducing the redness associated with acne. ULTIMATE VITAMIN C will improve hyper-pigmentation and give your skin a healthy glow, while providing protection against future damage. The two products would actually compliment each other very well. I would recommend you purchase our ULTIMATE VITAMIN C along with a 20% Salicylic Gel Peel by Perfect Image. You can also find it here on Amazon. Please, let me know if you have any other questions. Jamie - Azure Naturals Thank you for the great question!

Hello. I have battled with acne my entire life and still do. My acne has been moderate but slightly more severe here recently, I'm 24. I would suggest this product but not for acne scars, the only thing I've found that works so far is bio oil. I used it every day sometimes twice a day just before bed and at the start of day. I'm not gunna lie it's greasy as hell use it fresh out of the shower and/or right after washing your face. I was impressed with the results, my skin had a slightly more youthful appearance and a significantly smoother look which u know makes a world of difference lol. Now for discoloration I use an all natural method a lil weird but a potato. Slice a thin layer off each day and rub the juice all over especially on the effected area. Google it! Potatoes have a chemical in them that stops hyper pigmentation that causes the dark marks but won't bleach your skin. Sorry this was so long but this is what works for me thanx.

Yes! I found the liquid leaves your skin drier than the bar. I purchased this for my teen daughters and their acne and it has been useful if used on a regular basis.

Nothing I know on the market would remove acne scars...it dries up the zits quite well but I haven't had to deal with scaring. I'm sorry.

SA, sulfur, and tea tree oil are the ones that will suppossedly clear up your acne. Only that they forgot that Salicylic acid and Sulfur interact in contradictive ways and will not be effective whatsoever. So really the only thing you are getting is the tea tree oil that will be doing the work. So if tea tree oil has not worked for you, neither will this.

sorry i dont think i can answer that for you cause i use it to get rid of some hyperpigment/tatoo i have. it does make your skin peel, if u purchase do dilute with water and have baking soda on hand. the baking soda will neutralize the acid. im not sure bout the scar depends on your skin type. im asian and it didnt help me with my hyperpigment at all. as for the scars im not sure.

Provided that your skin is intact (no open wounds) or hyperpigmentation is not due to medication side effects or other health issues-it should work. Take care to not be too aggressive with doing it and to always cleanse area prior to performing the peel. If you've never done peels before or have experience doing so please consult with a professional in the field.

Do it enough times and you'll get great results of pimples oily skin yes it will leave your skin pretty flawless.As of scars it lightens them alot and makes them less visible.I would say dilute it first times then use it at full strength after a couple times it might leave your skin flaky with dark spots but with a couple days it will subside and you will have fresh beautiful skin.Then move up to a 35% tca peel you'll get great results there aswell

Glycolic acid chemical peels are for anti-aging and for those who want a more even skin tone, while salicylic acid are a better choice for people who experience acne, blemishes or acne scarring. I bought one of each and I switch off every other week and the results are incredible! No more chin breakouts and my face is as smooth and soft as it was 18 years ago. Could not be happier!

This product is a waste of money. It only cleans your skin, something you can do for pennies. For acne scars, I recommend Lactic Acid 50% Gel Peel made by Perfect Image. Look for my review there, later today.

Hi Brian, Yes. Our Vitamin C will help with Acne scar over time, yet we recommend that for this issue you will use our other serum, the Super C serum. It contains, beside other form of Vitamin C, also healing ingredients like Marine Kelp and ingredients that encourages creating new skin like Epidermal Growth Factor. These fantastic ingredients are not found in any other common Vitamin C serum on the market. It suits better for sensitive skin and can be used twice a day. The best solution is to use both, the Super C twice a day, and the Vitamin C serum 2-3 times a week to gain some extra gentle exfoliation that will help rejuvenating the skin. Thanks, F. Poletti

No, if anything the witchhazel helps to prevent breakouts. I have skin that is prone to breakouts and I use this to help prevent them. Its not overly stripping either so it isn't stingy or irritating.

I tried everything and this is the only system that cleared up my acne and also prevents it from coming back. I use it day and night and its a simple routine. As far as acne scars I am not sure if it lessens them but I do know Vitamin E or K helps with that issue. My face has never been clearer. I am a dedicated user of three years now. Hope this helps.

I'm not a doctor but I can give you advice as a person that has used this product and also, as a person who doesn't have sensitive skin. I always use glycolic based products along with using this product such as cleansers, toners and creams. However, I would discontinue using the acne stop when your doing a peel unless your glycolic peel is lower then 10%. Good luck and enjoy this product. It is the only thing that keeps my mild acne in remission. :)

I found that using a vitamin c serum (I used a different one for this but this one looks fine) under a niacin cream at night helped. The niacin cream smells like play-doh and makes your skin flush while it's on, but it's worth it. I also took extra vitamin c (ascorbic acid powder) mixed with grass fed gelatin, and drank lots of water. It does help, but you need to be patient - keep it up for a few weeks.The extent of the effectiveness and how fast you see results depends on what kind of scars you have too. for me it was some skin discoloration; pock marks might take longer to improve.

I think this would be a good maintenance for you in between peels; you might not want to do them as often if you are using this. I had a series of glycolic acid peels at a dermatologist's office several years ago and have just been using this cream since. I really enjoy the benefits of it - great stuff.

I kinda think it has in a way. I'm 48 and I have some acne scars I will keep a closer eye on them as I use this stuff. I'm going to be purchasing some Rosehip oil also soon, but I honestly think the only way we can get rid of the acne scars for sure is with laser which I'm planning to do toward summer for aging skin.
