The 5 Best Products for Acne Scars

 It is very difficult for a person to get rid of acne scars, even after procedures such as laser and others. In most cases, it takes more time to successfully deal with this type of scarring.

 

However, there are various products and substances that can improve the condition of the skin.

 

1. Zinc

 

Zinc or more specifically zinc or titanium based sunscreens are very effective on some scars, especially hyperpigmented ones.

 

When a person does not expose himself to the sun regularly, he can prevent his scars from getting worse.

 

According to a number of dermatologists, sunscreen is extremely important for maintaining good skin health and preventing various skin diseases.

 

2. LED lights

Light emitting diode (LED) lights, unlike solar lights, are anti-inflammatory and do not emit any ultraviolet rays.

 

Also, different colors of LED light have different wavelengths.

 

Although further studies are needed, LED lights have been shown to show promising results in smoothing wrinkles and clearing age spots.

 

3. Vitamin A

Another popular substance that can help various scars is vitamin A.

 

Vitamin A is an ingredient found in the prescription acne medication retinol A and in other over-the-counter retinol products.

 

Many different creams are known that contain vitamin A.

 

4. Vitamin C

Vitamin C can also help lighten darker acne scars. Like other antioxidants, vitamin C works by reducing harmful free radicals and inflammatory molecules in the skin.

 

5. Fruit acids

Fruit acids are very good natural exfoliants that speed up and improve some cellular processes and could potentially smooth and thin scars

 

Fruit acids are eg glycolic, lactic and citric acid.

 

Kojic acid could also have an important role in dealing with scars. It is obtained from certain types of fungi, especially Aspergillus oryzae . This type of acid helps lighten dark spots by blocking a key step in melanin production.

 

Another skin-friendly acid is ferulic acid. It is contained in the cell walls of certain types of plants and can reduce the thickness of the scar by inhibiting the thickness of collagen.

 

However, to achieve the best results, consultation with a specialist doctor - dermatologist is recommended.
