Acne is a problem for up to 80 % of people in their teens and early adulthood, and can even continue to be problematic with older adults. One of the long lasting after effects of acne is scarring. There are many different types of scars from discoloration to visible marks on the skin. Some of these scars can be treated with topical creams, and some with actual surgical procedures. What type of scarring can be treated topically?

First it is important to understand that it is mild scarring that can be treated with topical products such as creams. Deep scarring must be treated using special surgical treatments such as dermabrasion, or laser treatments.

But don't give up hope. There are several topical acne scar treatments available, such as Acne Free Clear Skin, and Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Acne Mark Fading Peel.

For dark scarring and small pock marks, the Acne Free product does a pretty good job in evening skin color and smoothing the skin. It contains hydroquinone, a medication that evens out red spots and lightens dark areas.

If you have dark spots only, you may do better with the Neutrogena Peel. It is used 1 - 2 times per week and visibly lightens the darker areas of the skin each time it is used. This product is to be used for several months and produces pretty good results.

Overall, acne scar treatment without a surgical procedure is limited, but there are things you can do. Of course more extensive surgical treatments are available, but may not be necessary.
