Any spot treatments for old acne marks that really work?

[korina981]

I don't really have scars from old acne but instead these red spots that are fairly close together by my cheekbones. Has anyone tried or know of a really effective spot tretment for these red spots?

What kind of micro dermabrasion would you recommend?

I did actually go to someone to ask about MDA and was advised against it and was told I should consider some topical spot treatment instead :icon_conf

I would recommend you Microdermabrasion Creme from Biogime (not only because of the fact that I work with those products, but as well because they helped me a lot with acne problems).

Anyone who is looking for shea butter!!!

Here is where I got raw or unrefined shea butter. The price is very affortable but you need to buy in bulk and a minimum purchase of $30.00. Hope this helps!!

I've tried L'Occitane's shea butter. It's very good product but very pricy, 4.9oz for $36.00

If you have a current case of acne, I strongly recommend you not to do microdermabrasion. My derm said that scrubbing isn't good for pimples..unless you know it's a mild exfoliator scrub, cause micro would be too harsh. First, try a lotion, gel, or cream designed to lighten pigmentation marks. This will lighten your skin. One product I have used that was successful is MaMa lotion, which I purchased from skincarerx.com. I also suggest trying a mild chemical peel/ointment. This will encourage the surface skin to shed (literally!) and new, fresh skin to appear. There are peels all over the place now...at the drugstore, L'Oreal and Oil of Olay are my best picks from store. You can also buy them online, if you want something more high-end, like Estee Lauder. Since your doing a mild peel, you will peel, but you shouldn't need much downtime...just take a few days off from make-up if possible. Good-luck..n i hope this is helpful. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
