I have scars on my back from acne, and have just been researching some products on the net that are within my price range. Here’s the list I have come up with:
RegimA: Centella Scar Treatment
Scar Esthetique
Scar FX
ScarFade Scar Gel
Laserfade Gel
Aquaphor
Derma E
Vita-K
Anyone know which is the best?
Thanks.


Scar Boy added:
Are they depressed scars? If so, those products are unlikely to help. You will probably need several TCA peels.

Hmz, what is a depressed scar?
Mine are kinda like dark brown scars
Scar Boy added:
Are they indented?
kahlua added:
Nope

PSiBeR added:
Hi, I’m also a newbie. I also have scars, and I believe they are “Red Marks”
Red Marks
These are the most common type of scar and are a result of the body’s natural healing process. Initially, they may be red or brown and slightly raised but will become paler and flatten naturally over time, resulting in a flat, pale scar. This process can take up to two years.
like these scars are like from previous pimples that have died out.
I really have no clue on how I can get rid of these scars are make them look fainter.
Any help would be appreciated as well.

Try the tape method. Take scotch tape apply it over red mark areas and press it down gently for 3 seconds then pull right off. Do this twice a week. Really Really helps!

Lumas do you use the tape method? If so, it doesn’t cause flakeness?
