What Will Help Fade Blemishes From Acne?

Acne blemishes leave a variety of scars on the skin. Some are depressed, others are raised and some are pigmented skin. Most acne scars fade in time, but it takes several months or longer. But there are methods that can accelerate the healing and fade the blemishes. Some of these remedies are natural products, while others can only be performed by a doctor.

Bleaching Creams

Bleaching creams are a good way to fade the appearance of scars and give skin an even complexion. Many bleaching creams contain hydroquinone, glycolic acid or kojic acid as the main ingredient.

Lemon Juice

Lemons are frequently used to bleach pigmented skin like age spots. The citric acid in the lemons helps to remove the top layer of skin so when new skin grows in the blemishes are less noticeable.

Vitamin E Oil

Many users of vitamin E oil report that their scars and blemishes have healed faster with the application of vitamin E oil.

Chemical Peels

A doctor can perform a chemical peel in his office by applying an acid to the skin. The acid burns the top layer so the skin can renew itself faster. After the skin has healed from the procedure, the blemishes are less visible on the new skin.

Hydrogen Peroxide

Applying hydrogen peroxide to acne blemishes will heal them and also fade any scars. Peroxide is a well-known bleaching substance.
