How do I get rid of the acne scars - hyperpigmentation?

I am African-American and I have had acne issues since I was 13. I am looking for a product or proceedure that will help lighten the dark spots on my face. Ive tried Ambi, and it doesn%26#039;t work. I%26#039;ve heard of lemon juice and shea butter. Can any one give me suggestions of products or proceedures that REALLY have worked for someone with my same problem?





Thanks in advance for your help!|||i heard ACV is great (apple cider vinegar) combine it with 50% water and 50% ACV .. and a few drops of pure lemon juice if you want. apply it at night with a cotton ball or something like that.|||yea like if you look on makeupalley.com, there are tons and tons of reveiws saying how great the acv method is, just make sure it%26#039;s organic. and don%26#039;t forget to dilute it!!

|||I would go to a dermotologist they will give you a perscription that will most likely work.|||Well, I%26#039;m a pasty white girl, but my esthetician is African-American. I broke out at age 10, and went through accutane at age 24. That kept me clear for three years, and then I broke back out. I did extensive research for products that work. I ended up trying glytone, which my friend%26#039;s dermatologist recommended for her. It is formulated with glycolic acid.





Tonya, my esthetician (someone who gives facials ect...) works at a spa that uses Jan Marini products. I use their daily protectant spf 30, and it is the best stuff I have ever put on my skin. Even though your complection is dark, you can still get skin cancer and age, so definately protect your precious face with a sunscreen.





The Jan Marini line is also formulated with glycolic acid. I have read on the glytone website that it isn%26#039;t for dark complections, but Tonya I know uses the Jan Marini line.





Glytone has completely transformed my skin! It cleared up in one week and never broke out again. It has dramatically gotten rid of scars. My skin looks amazing.





I would consult a dermatologist and ask if glycolic acid is an option. Tonya did have medium to light skin (which was georgous). If you can use glycolic products, then you are in for the transformation of your life!!! I hope that this helps. If it ends up that glycolic acid is not an option, then I%26#039;m sure a dermatologist will be able to give you something that will be effective. Do some online research about dark complections and glycolic acid.





Good Luck!!!|||clear and clear acne series!! AWESOME :) its like clear results within 1 day. really great. good luck :)
