Acne Scar Home Remedies that Really Work

• Aloe Vera Juice and Aloe Vera Gel will promote healing and might help reduce acne scars.¹ Use a cotton ball to apply the juice twice a day and cleanse the skin using the pulp.¹ Of course, do not use aloe vera if the skin becomes red and irritated. Learn more about medicinal uses of aloe vera.
• GOTU KOLA is a powerful acne scar home remedy. Make a paste by mixing the powder with water and use this paste on the face twice a day. Gotu Kola helps the skin heal. ² If you can't find powders, then crush tablets and use that to form the paste.

• Calendula and Cottonwood: They are both excellent home remedies for acne scars. Make an ointment using 3 tablespoons of calendula oil, 2 1/2 tablespoons of cottonwood oil, 1 1/2 tablespoons of melted beeswax, ²and 6 tablespoon of coconut oil. Use this ointment twice a day, of course being very careful around the eyes, mouth and nose. Learn more about the calendula flower.
• Bromelain is a terrific home remedy for acne scars. The suggested dosage is 500 mg, twice a day. Take this between meals. Bromelain is a digestive enzyme derived from pineapple. It helps "clean-up" the injury site, and is anti-inflammatory.²
• Vitamin E: One source states to rub liquid Vitamin E oil on your face each night before bedtime.¹² However, the use of Vitamin E for scars is controversial. Vitamin E Oil can also cause an allergic reaction, so test Vitamin E oil on a small area of skin first, before using on the face. What does Vitamin E do?
• Think salad! Believe it or not, the following are all effective, tomatoes, lemon juice, lime juice, olive oil, coconut oil, honey, and cucumber. Why not try them? (but not all at the same time). Pick a remedy and apply to the face twice a day! Learn about the benefits of honey.
