ASK KATHRYN: What Products Work Best on Acne & Chicken Pox Scars?

A couple of days ago I was asked: "What products would work well for scars on the face? A woman has some chicken pox scars from long ago & wants to get rid of them."

This is a great question and one I hear a lot. Fortunately, there are some effective things you can do about acne and chicken pox scarring on the face.

The micro-needle roller and night renewing serum along with the Redefine Regimen or Reverse Regimen works well on both acne and chicken pox scars. Adding the Macro Exfoliator, which removes 5 million dead skin cell in 5 minutes, resurfaces the skin and helps reduce and remove facial scarring even more.

If she buys one of the regimen Power Packs, that would be great for her scars, and she would save 20% on all the items in the Power Pack. The tools last a year or longer, so she would only need to periodically replace the serum and creams.

Get professional level results, no appointment necessary, with our REDEFINE Regimen and patent-pending skincare tools. Now when you add a REDEFINE MACRO Exfoliator™ and AMP MD™ System to your REDEFINE Regimen order you save 20% on the collection. 

If she becomes a Preferred Customer, she would save an extra $40 on top of her 20% discount for buying the Pack, and she would get free shipping!

Ask me where to buy the Power Packs, how to become a Preferred Customer and which Power Pack would work best for you!

Micro-Needle Roller and Treatment for Acne Scars

After suffering from acne breakouts, blemishes, pimples, blackheads and whiteheads, many teens with acne grow into adults with acne scars. This post-acne scarring can take the appearance of darker pigmentation or actual pit-like scarring on the surface of the skin.

Fortunately, new technology and treatments can reduce and eliminate both types of acne scarring.

Our popular Unblemish acne treatment for adult acne, made by the same doctors who created Proactiv, can treat acne and reduce and remove mostdiscolored post-acne scars. Using our Reverse regimen for dark pigmentation provides great results for more stubborn pigmentation.

Adding our micro-needle roller to the regimen can provide splendid results in resurfacing the skin, getting rid of light to moderate scarring.

Occlusion Treatment for Acne Marks

After acne is treated successfully, it can leave ugly, discolored "scars" behind. These discolorations are really not scars but are a form of hyperpigmentation left behind after the pimple is gone.

This acne regimen is designed to clear up acne and acne scars. The acne treatment offers two toners to chose from, with one toner specifically addressing hyperpigmentation "scars."

The Spot Fading Toner is an alcohol-free toner which contains dermatologist-recommended 2% hydroquinone to lighten and prevent post-acne marks and spots. Salicylic acid removes dead skin cells and keeps pores clear, and prepares skin for treatment.

However,  if you are using the acne treatment and some stubborn acne scars won't go away, simply purchase the Skin Lightening Treatment and substitute it for the Dual Intensive Treatment every evening (but continue using the Dual Intensive Treatment every morning).

Occlusion Therapy for Acne Scars

1) Use the full acne treatment in the morning.

2) At night, use the acne treatment Sulfur Wash to unclog pores and reduce redness.

3) Use the Spot Fading Toner to lighten and prevent post-acne marks and spots.

4) Use the Skin Lightening Treatment in the evening as step 3 and substitute it for the Dual Intensive Treatment. Apply a dime-sized portion of Skin Lightening Treatment evenly over the entire face every evening, avoiding the eye area. Allow the treatment to penetrate skin. Do not rinse off. (Use once every other day and increase to twice daily as tolerated if you experience any sensitivity at first).

5)  Plastic Wrap/Saran Wrap: Cut or tear plastic or saran wrap or plastic wrap and lay it over the extra layer of Skin Lightening Treatment. Let it set for 2 hours.

6) Remove the plastic wrap, blend in the Skin Lightening Treatment, and leave it on the skin. If the skin feels dry after treatment you can follow with a moisturizer. *

Do this occlusion treatment 2 hours a day, 5 days a week for 2 weeks. If any stubborn dark acne marks do not lighten after 2 weeks of occlusion therapy, you may need to see a dermatologist.

* The two best moisturizers to chose from to add to the Occlusion Therapy are:

a) Moisture Replenishing Cream is a more moisturizing with a rich, dewy formula that soothes, hydrates and nourishes.

b) Sensitive Skin Treatment is a hydrating cream with exclusive RFp3 peptide technology helps to interrupt the inflammatory cascade to promote smooth, clear, healthy-looking skin. However, it is less moisturizing than the moisture cream.
