Try Vitamin E oil on the spot – but the doctor is right it’ll go away in time. In the meantime, if it really bugs you try using a concealer/foundation to cover it up

Hi Stephanie – I haven’t used Bio Oil though I’ve seen it around. Thus far, Vitamin E oil works well for me and its relatively inexpensive. If your marks are recent, using pure vitamin E directly on them can help reduce the scarring and marks. Or also try Rosehip oil. Thanks for dropping by.

Hi Paris,

I read your Vitamin E oil recommendation with interest. I was recently afflicted with a bout of shingles which has left dark marks on my forehead, I was wondering if Vitamin E oil will be efficacious in lightening the marks and healing the scar? Have you heard about this product called Bio-Oil? It claims to be able to reduce scars. Maybe you would be able to comment on it? Many thanks, and please do keep up the good work in your blog, it contributes to essential reading!

I have tried using lemon for a couple of times and I think it works but this method is only for sensitive skin.

Using a whitening serum or scar serum helps too, but generally, these serums should be used after the acne is healed in order not to aggravate the acne further. So far, I have used Bio Oil, Garnier Whitening Cream and Artistry Brightening Essence and they work on me.

I personally think aloe vera gel helps too!!!

Essentially, you need to go to the root of the problem.

Skin heals better when its moisturised. A regular good moisture routine plumps up ur cells and lets ur skin heal faster from scars and also prevents other problems from happening faster.

I wrote more about it before, with a couple of products I’ve recommended.

Hope this helps answer your questions. =) I make sure I moisturise regularly face n body and my skin heals very well.

I use rose hip oil, from Garden of Eden. It’s cheap and you only need a few drops every night. I use it as my sole moisturiser/treatment at night. It’s seriously good, and I always find myself falling back on it if I stop it for a while. After about 1-2 weeks of continously using it, my skin is smooth and even toned and all recent scars are gone.
