Can anyone recommend anything to overcome acne scars?
I had fair skin until lately when I had sudden breakout and now my whole face is full with red marks and ugly scars. I have a sensitive skin, oily too and I was wondering if anyone can suggest an effective method of treatment or any product, even a home remedy to reduce such bad marks?
I really need all the help I need, I look so awful now, I can't even stand my husband looking at me like that, so I wear makeup all the time except when I go to bed.
Help Please everybody!!

make sure you find a good cleanser that will work for you so that you can prevent acne and scarring in the first place. another thing you should do is exfoliate your skin once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells, help prevent clogged pores, and other good things.
it’s hard to recommend products because i really don’t know all that is available and of course, everyone is different so what works for some people may not work for you.
i just want to say before hand that i have not tried these products, but i’m simply giving you suggestions and it’s up to you to do some research about them. i’d try and find some product reviews (online) before going out and buying any that you’re interested in.
you could check out bio oil (the fact that it’s an oil might turn you away, but it is apparently good for scars, stretch marks, etc.) the thing is, it might take a while to soak into your skin since it’s an oil. i think it’s #1 in the UK for scars and stretchmarks.
i’ve also heard of a product called mederma, which i am actually interested in trying myself, and is " #1 doctor- and pharmacist-recommended brand for scars." it comes in a gel form, and cream+SPF30 so that should absorb quicker than bio oil.
a natural product that i’ve heard works great for scars, especially stretch marks is shea butter. i do not know much about shea butter or where you can purchase it, but make sure it’s unrefined (raw)
hope i helped a little :D

U may like to try a dose of a herbal homeopathic remedy known as Thuja 30c and see if that helps. Thuja has helped people who feel unattractive and hide their blemised like your acne scars. It just might help
