Getting rid of acne scars?

[InstinctiveMama]

Does anyone have any natural treatments for getting rid of red acne scars? I am washing with honey (sometimes mixed with baking soda), using ACV as a toner and moisturizing with shea butter. Is there something I can add to my regimen to spot treat the scars?

I've been using black soap and unrefined shea butter and think that mine are fading ever so slightly. But, it could just be wishful thinking! Ah, the power of the mind!

What you're doing now sounds perfect - keep doing that and you should see a difference.

You can also try coconut oil or vitamin E capsules.

As far as ACV goes, you can use it twice a day if you'd like. You can even pat some on your face and then rinse your face with water.

Thanks for your responses! For the first time in a long time my face is clear. So now I am so anxious to get rid of these ugly scars, not to mention how much time they take to cover before I go out!

My shea butter has a bit of vitamin E in it so it's good to know that will help the redness.

I'm glad! It's always great to find something that works for you. I have a little bit of hormone-based adult acne and it's getting better by experimentation.

I've been using coconut oil to wash my face at night, and I use baking soda and ACV and my usual Dove body soap (green tea cucumber, yum!) and occasional Cetaphil gentle cleanser.

Seems to be working well.
