Is this strong enough to exfoliate acne scars and pigmentation? If not do you have any recommendations?

I don't think so and don't know what to recommend. I can say that the lotion is great for making your skin feel smooth and silky after using for awhile. I would check with a dermatologist for that answer.

As far as treating acne scaring or pigmentation issues due to acne, I'm not sure that this is the right product for you. I use the aqua glycolic body lotion for the top back of my arms. I have get these mild bumps and that area of my arm gets red. The dermatologist said it was a severe form of dry skin and recommended I use the Aqua Glycolic body wash and lotion. It definitely does the trick as far as clearing up my skin condition. For acne issues I used to use a cleanser by DCL (dermatology cosmetic laboratories) and currently I use Murad (who offers body cleansers and sprays to heal acne related issues). I'm not sure about DCL but Murad is available and cheapest on Amazon. Hope this helps!

It seems to work well at reducing sun (aging) spots on hands, arms, etc. For my face, I've found the best thing for general texture is prescription Retin A. However, myself and friends are happy with the Aqua Glycolic as a great hand/body lotion. It isn't greasy at all, absorbs very quickly and leaves skin very, very soft and nice. I also hear the hand/body lotion can be used on the face.....no need to buy the face lotion (this from a dermatologist). So, give it a try. As for acne scars it does exfoliate, but that deeply, I don't know.

No. I have freckles & scarring that have not been impacted at all during my use of this product. However, these products aren't intended to address deep skin issues, and I don't think I'd trust any over the counter product for that anyway. You'd definitely want a reputable dermatologist for that. I imagine any chemical strong enough to change the structure of scarring or get deep enough to destroy pigmentation could easily cause permanent damage.

I only use on my face as a deep cleansers, however it will fade your tattoo somewhat if you use it often because it is so strong.

This isn't made specifically for acne, so there really isn't a comparison. This is an excellent cleanser, and I don't think it would hurt to use it for acne, and may help, but that's not what this cleanser is targeted to. This is my favorite cleanser, and I think brightens, and cleans the skin better than even more expensive cleansers.

Its not really recommended for that purpose, but as long as you didn't over use it in the process of removing the makeup, I suppose it would be OK. By "over use" I mean more than about 8-10 light to medium pressure buffing movements in any particular area of the skin. Because the cloth is so good at exfoliating, it is very easy to overdo it and make your skin raw! It warns you about this on the package. Also, I believe there is a warning about using it too much on delicate areas such as around the eyes, where presumably you would have a lot of makeup to be removed as well so again, it would seem to be contraindicated for makeup removal. I would still highly recommend it as an exfoliator as it is the most powerful exfoliator I have ever encountered without using a chemical peel.

I'm not sure, I'll look into it. I do know that it cleared up some minor skin issues. I also exfoliate and cleanse everyday but this BB creme is like wearing a protective barrier all day and my skin could breathe under it, so I'm really very [pleased. I use #27 and I also use self tanner once a week and this BB creme adjusts to my skin color oddly enough.

NO. It does not exfoliate. Buy something else like a dry sea sponge or one particular to exfoliation.

I would recommend it. Both my father and I use when necessary and it always seems to help. However, when I first started using it, my face would seem very irritated afterwards for about 10 minutes. I kept using it and after awhile the irritation went away. It's more of a harsh cleanser, but it does work. I also use Avon's Clear Skin face wash about once every 3 days and I use the nanocleanse in between just once a day instead of twice. Seems to do well for me! Hope I helped you out.

I would say no. You might want to Google up how to remove acne scars and see the options there.

Honestly no. But I used it so much that my skin actually hardened. I wouldn't recommend using this for long periods of time.

I don't think so. Very little if any difference in acne scars. It is good for wrinkles, though. Saw a definite improvement.

To my knowledge it is for both. It is an excellent, mild skin exfoliant. Good for men also. Good for whole-body exfoliating. Like all exfoliators, if your skin reddens, use less frequently. I like to use as gentle wash after make-up removed daily, some people use every other day or weekly. Depends on how sensitive. the skin. Not for makeup removal.

For me this is the best for all of that! But you have to use it twice a day all day anf keep using it for long time . I trust on this for all skin scars, it works on me so fast and perfect!

I have blotchy skin due to acne scars. If I said lighten my skin in my review that wasn't what I meant. It evens your skin tone to it's natural color. The soap exfoliates and speeds up the natural healing process so that your skin becomes clearer much faster than with normal soaps or creams.

I have just started using it and i love it, from what i know that constantly exfoliating ur skin and then applying a good mousturizer eventually gets rid of dead skin cells and i believe fade scars, also i suggest use mederma scar gel, it works excellently in fading scars

It is a really great exfoliator. I give it five stars. I don't know how well it will do removing built up self tanner (I have never had to use it for such a purpose) but I would think after using it several times the self tanner can be exfoliated. Hope this is helpful.

I use it everyday on my face and neck area but I'm sure you could use it all over. I really iike it - it exfoliates great.

Nothing I know on the market would remove acne scars...it dries up the zits quite well but I haven't had to deal with scaring. I'm sorry.
