Does this work for hypertrophic acne scars on the face?

Glycolic acid stimulates collagen production and could irritate hypertrophic scars since it is living tissue. Glycolic is best at fading post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation which are not necessarily scars. If hypertrophic scars are your problem, then glycolic acid probably won't be worth your time or money.

Hi there..It does NOT work on scars. i have been using this product for over 10 years, and i sell it because it is so great. CAPS INTENTIONAL: DO NOT BUY IT FOR SCAR HELP. it will not work and you will waste your money. it is an excellent moisturizer, but do not buy it if you are prone to breakouts or have pimples as it can make them worse. again...it is a great moisturizer for all over the body and face. hope this helps you.

I have never tried it for an acne scar. Try it for a few weeks and see. Take a picture before you start to check progress.

Hi Brian,Yes. Our Vitamin C will help with Acne scar over time, yet we recommend that for this issue you will use our other serum, the Super C serum. It contains, beside other form of Vitamin C, also healing ingredients like Marine Kelp and ingredients that encourages creating new skin like Epidermal Growth Factor. These fantastic ingredients are not found in any other common Vitamin C serum on the market. It suits better for sensitive skin and can be used twice a day.The best solution is to use both, the Super C twice a day, and the Vitamin C serum 2-3 times a week to gain some extra gentle exfoliation that will help rejuvenating the skin.Thanks,F.

I am not sure about Acne scars. I don't have any and neither does my spouse. However, it helped with my wrinkles considerably as well as firming up my skin and my spouses bigger pores and black heads completely disappeared. We really love the product and recommend it. I just wish I new if it helped scars but I don't. I am sorry but I hope this helps. Wishing you all the best!

All the product states is that it will work on old scars, but no mention is made in regard to acne scars

According to my Plastic Surgeon, it will work on raised and/or red scars. It does take a while. The package says to use for six to eight weeks. My surgeon said that I should wear the bandages for 20-24 hours a day for up to six months to receive the maximum benefit. I have used for four months on a large, hypertrophic scar and it has reduced the raised portion by half. The scar is still red, but that is to be expected for the first year.

I didn't try it on scars; however, it does not clog your pores and I have combination skin that is prone to breakouts with new products. It has a move thin consistency that rubs in nicely and feels just like your regular clean skin. On top of that I use an anti aging serum then moisturizer with SPF. I can wear these things under makeup and not breakout. It's very nice. I had a vitamin C serum that was sticky and thicker. It would actually peel when I put on moisturizer and it clogged pores around my nose and chin.

I am not sure about that. I know it really helps with skin irritation and breakouts for me. I use it in my hair and on my face but I am sorry I can't say 100 percent about how it will help scarring. It would hurt to try it though! Good luck! Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

I agree with Michelle, don't remember this ever working on a scar. But it should definitely help the acne issue. Just do NOT use a lot because it will really irritate your skin.

Havnt paid much attention to fine lines and wrinkles. But it most definitely is working for my acne scars :D

I bought it for my daughter to use on her acne and it is working. My doctor also said she had heard of it and that it has anti-bacterial properties. I put some on a torn hangnail and bandaged it. By evening, it was healing and no longer hurt.

Yes. I believe it would work for any acne. I just purchased this kit for my 16 year old nephew. He's been using it one week so far. I will update in a few weeks.

Yes. Be forewarned that it WILL scar you for awhile so use with caution on your face. :)But your dermatologist would scar it too.

That I don't know. It has only been used to lighten or eliminate dark spots. There is a product, that you can purchase in a CVS, Rite Aid etc., that is supposed to eliminate scars. I ran across it by chance looking for sun screen.

Hi Trista, I have had luck with this cream. I've had noticeable results with skin tone, my skin is brighter, healthier and my scars have faded. It works great under my make up and as a part of my daily skin regiment. I have a tendency to break out and this has helped and minimized my pores. Good luck!

It does help smooth out the skin (with the proper machine), if used weekly. A good brightening serum will help the dark/lightness of the scars.
