Suggest Products To Cure Acne Scars
I suffer from facial acne scarring and uneven skin tone I have tried lasers and microdermabrasion which were both effective but too expensive to continue. I have tried various products and have found Clinque Even Better and Civant Meladrem which were both good but didn't give the results I so desperately crave. Are there any products you could suggest?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query acne and acne scars occur when clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum ,dead skin and bacteria get infected. You are already taking so much medicine but not get benefited. You should use product containing benzoyl peroxide.You should apply adapalene,benzoyl peroxide or clindamycine gel. Also wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your face once a week , apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day as this is safe and natural extract of cereals.Also drink 8-9 glasses of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
