Having lived through your teenage years battling acne, the last thing you want to do is go through the rest of your life hiding or covering up the embarrassing and ugly scars left behind by the acne. There are ways to reduce or improve the acne scars. However, the severity of the scars will determine what you need to do to lessen them.For mild scarring home remedies and procedures may reduce the appearance of the scars. At home dermabrasions and chemical peels can alleviate some scarring. This is best accomplished by using products that contain retinol or alpha hydroxyl acid in lotion or cream based solutions. If your skin is sensitive then it would be wise to not apply the lotions or creams immediately following the dermabrasion or peel. This can lead to redness and some irritation.
