   You have to exfoliate everyday to get rid of the old skin and reveal the new skin to gradually get rid of the layers of the hyper pigmentation or acne scars left behind. I used sugar and water paste and it works wonderfully! I do it every morning and night since its natural its safe. Then I bought this skin cream http://www.walgreens.com/store/catalog/Lotions-and-Creams/Day-Skin-Lightening-Cream/ID=prod6018397-product?V=G&ec=frgl_&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=sku6017371 which actually lightens the red marks/scars. My skin looks great!! and its cheap also.Good luck!

   i have never heard about sugar for acne so i cant say anything about that, i think maybe people just use it as a srub because it is abrasive. i have heard that honey can get rid of pimples becasue it has antibacterial properties, i didnt work for me but i have really bad skin and i know some people swear by it. the only thing that has ever helped my acne is perscription antibiotics that your get through a dermotologist, unfortuantly its not cheap unless your have health insurance.
   i also have acne scars and my dermatologist told me that nothing really makes them fade except time, but other people have said that if you buy vitamin E oil it makes them go away faster
   good luck

   Never heard about sugar working, the only thing that has worked for me was going on Dianette (the pill) and prescription antibiotics! But I’m now 19 and it’s pretty much cleared up, you just need some patience :) Antibacterial honey (like manuka honey) may help for you, but it’s not cheap! Go to your doctor, he/she should be able to prescribe you something :) Nothing over the counter ever worked for me. Just make sure to cleanse, tone and moisurise everyday to clean your face, but if you react badly to them, just use water to clean your face, as that helped for me when my skin was really bad. Sometimes skin care products can irritate your skin and make your condition much worse. Also, when drying your face, always PAT dry with a clean towel, never rub your face as this dries out your skin causing it to produce more oils which equals more spots! Good luck.

   To get rid of acne and maybe the scars too, use Renova, its a prescription you have to get from a doctor

   listen cheap things are not gonna work for you. since acne is something that should be treated only by professionals. you can buy some clean & clear products that helps you to clean your skin not 100% but it can work for you it all depends which level of acne do you have. if you have mild acne than some products like clean & clear, aloe vera etc should work for you. if you have moderated to severe acne than you need to visit a dermatologist. home remedies are not gonna work for you since they are not 100% effective and are not from chemicals things and stuff. you need to use scientifics methods, for your skin that´s why dermatologist are the best choice we have. what type of acne do you have? it all depends on how badly your acne is. i have very mild acne, and my dermatologist gave me CLIDAN B a dermic gel with peroxide of benzoil which works FANTASTIC and now my self steem is much higher.

   if you don´t have any money for a dermatologist then you should go with acne products like clean & clear they clean your face, pretty good, i used one time this product and it help me not 100% but it help me a little bit, but since i want it something to be 100% safe and that would clean my face i decided to seek for help to a dermatologist. this is the only advices that i can give you. one of my friends has severe acne well actually she had moderated acne but when she start it to use some home remedies her acne got worst and now she has severe acne. some home remedies can cause you to have more acne like my friend, alot of redness and irritation. so if i were you i wouldn´t use home remedies, and stop using the tooth paste because it doesn´t not help you in anything. besides it can irritate you more. good luck! :)

   You never get rid of white/blackheads "for good". You have to get rid of them, then maintain a regimen to minimize their recurrence. You have a few options that I’ve used- Pore Strips, Blackheadmask-Before you use any method, I would recommend that you STEAM your face first. Be careful though. Get a pot, fill it half way with hot water, get it to boil. SHUT OFF the stove, and place your face above the steam. Again, be careful. You can also get a towel, soak it in hot water, and cover your face with it. Just make sure it’s not hot enough to burn your skin. Then, do whatever treatment you want to do. After the treatment/strip/mask- Rinse your face with COLD WATER, then close your pores with either 1.salicylic Acid, or 2. Benzoyl Peroxide/acne medication 3. Sulfur ( I use de la cruz 10% but it is very drying) 4. Tea Tree oil (I’m going to be trying this one soon) to kill the bacteria that causes them in the first place. Go to http://www.blackheadmask.com if you’d like to purchase the mask (20$) but shipping takes a couple of weeks. Hope this helps. Good luck!!!
