Raw lemon juice! a dab on your scars 2-3 times a day will erase them in a month or with oily skin a week or two!

The lemon juice burned my skin and made me break out. I use vitamin e oil with my moisturizer and it has faded my stubborn marks in about 3 weeks. I bought mine at cvs but I'm sure any bran will work

Lol, don't use lemon/lime or any citrus fruit on the skin. Not only is it phototoxic but you damaging your skin. For what lemon/lime does on your face you can achieve using Oils, and without harming your skin ☺
There are so many things you can do to get rid of it.

• Cocoa Butter or Shea butter
• Oils ( Almond, Coconut , Jojoba )
• Bio Oil ( This will really clog your pores. Better off using natural oils if you are acne prone )
• Apple Cider Vinegar ( Must be diluted )
• You can make an exfoliating scrub to help ( Sugar , Honey,and any oil like coconut jojoba almond. )
• The most effective and expensive option would be to get a T Sonic facial cleansing device like the Foreo Luna or the Clarisonic. This will help get deep down.
• If its stubborn try an Aha or BHA acid treatment. ( You can find this at Ulta or Sephora )
• Oatmeal can help absorb excess oil and sebum.
• A mud mask will definitely help with pulling excess dirt. Queen helene has a mint julep mask and a regular mud mask for $3.00 in a tub. I really recommend this, you'll notice your skin absorbs everything so much better. Do a mud mask, then apply your treatments.

Like I always say, if you have combination skin or are still suffering from acne. It's best to use non-comedogenic ingredients. The top oils that are non-comedogenic are: Jojoba, Argan, Rosehip, and hemp. You can find these oils at any grocery store, health store, whole foods, pharmacy. I even saw rosehip in Tjmaxx lol.

I'd go straight for an aha alpha hydrox is a great line. that offers aha as well as retinol treatments that will help. incorporate a vitamin c serum as well. these are absolutely proven to work. coconut oil is good for your skin but will do nothing for dark marks neither will ice cubes. a lot of people use baking soda as an exfoliant but I am not experienced w it so can't tell you if it would help.

I third that...in regards to Danny C advice. I used glycolic serum 17% to fade my acne scars 3 nights a week. Alpha Hydrox line has a 10% glycolic acid serum that is a great % to start with. But don't expect any treatment to show results overnight. Took me about three months to see a visible difference and another 3 months to see a huge difference.
