Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone knows if there are any Lush products which are good for lightening acne scarring? Preferable for both the face and body would be great x

I'd just be aware that sometimes Lush products aren't the best for sensitive or acne-prone skin, because they add a lot of fragrance and essential oils which can often irritate the skin more. However, I've heard good things about the Ultrabland cleanser, and maybe the Smuggler's Soul scrub? The thing about lightening acne marks is that you need products that are going to stay on your skin, and cleansers are generally washed off too quickly to produce real results, so I would recommend getting a serum or a moisturizer instead. I personally tend to use brightening products anyway, and at the moment I use the iS Clinical Pro-Heal Serum, Sunday Riley Good Genes and the Korres Brightening Sleeping Facial. I'd really recommend the Pro-Heal serum, if you have money to spend on it! It's a Vitamin A serum that exfoliates lightly and really helps clear up darkness over time.

The other thing that I want to say is that personally, I am not a fan at all of products that can be used on both the face and the body. For me, they're like 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioners, they're not effective enough at either thing to be worth it.

I do, however, really like the Ocean Salt body scrub, it's really nice and feels refreshing!

I would head into a shop if you can! Like Hannah said, Lush products can have irritating ingredients in them because of heavy use of the natural essential oils and butters that can sometimes inflame or clog sensitive skin.

That being said, most products these days have ingredients like that in them as well. The staff at Lush are always super helpful. While they probably won't admit to using irritating ingredients, they'll at least be able to show you products and allow you to feel them on your hand. I'd want to try a scrub if I were you. Maybe Let The Good Times Roll?

Herbalism is a cleanser and grease lightening is a tea tree gel and both are targeted towards people with acne:)
