Acne is not just a temporary problem; Instead, it is a skin disorder that leaves marks even after it clears up. There are very few people who are safe from acne scars. Acne scars usually form when we try to pop a pimple or try to expel the black and white heads. These acne scars or marks need additional treatment that can take a long time. Treatment generally involves the use of certain creams. Information on the best creams used for treating acne is listed below:
1. Facial whitening creams: Facial whitening creams are readily available all over the world, but be sure to buy a very good brand and reputable whitening cream from a reputable store because using whitening creams is very risky. The fact behind the use of bleaching creams is that they contain a chemical known as hydroquinone, which is the main ingredient in removing acne scars. Another important point to consider when purchasing a whitening cream is that it should contain 2 percent hydroquinone. If the cream has exceeded this amount of hydroquinone, it would not only be illegal but also harmful to the skin. For the amount of hydroquinone, see the literature for the cream. Four percent of hydroquinone can only be used after prescription.
2. Skin lightening creams: There is a wide range of skin lightening creams around the world, but select a well-known brand and buy it from a reputable store. The fact behind the use of these skin lightening creams to remove acne scars is that they contain very active ingredients like hydroquinone, corticosteroid, and tretinoin. When these three ingredients are specifically combined, they work to lighten the skin in a very gentle way. Therefore, people with sensitive skin should opt for skin lightening creams to remove acne scars instead of skin whitening creams.
3. Homemade cream: to get the best homemade cream to treat acne scars, add a few drops of rosehip oil to your daily cream. Rosehip oil contains retinol and vitamin A in large amounts that help remove scars. Mix 5 drops of rosehip oil in 20 grams of cream, if irritation occurs, reduce the amount of oil and make 3 drops. Apply for a month twice a day.
