There are mainly two kinds of acne scars: pitted or depressed and pigmented.

Pitted acne scarring is caused by a loss of tissue derived from harm to underlying skin tissue. Depressed scars have an "ice-pick" look, with sharp jiggered edges, or can be softer scars, appearing much like scars derived from chicken-pox.

Pigmented scars are red or brown marks left behind after an acne lesion has cured. Pigmented scarring is the most common and while it is not forever, it can take weeks or months for it to disappear if left alone. Often, the scar has not faded away before a new set of blemishes appear - causing a perpetual cycle of disfigured skin that can leave many sufferers of acne depressed about the look of their skin. Some people may have found a treatment that keeps their blemishes under control - only to find that the red or brown marks remain - preventing their skin from looking completely clear and acne-free.

Both pitted acne scars and pigmented acne scars can be treated with natural products if applied regularly twice a day every day for a period of time, which can be approximately 8 to 12 weeks depending on how deep and old are the acne scars.

Results for loss of tissue may take longer if harm to tissues is too deep or has been going for too long. In this case other remedies may be necessary and options are: cosmetic fillers, fat injections, microdermabrasion, deep chemical peelings or laser surgery.

Some natural products work due to the action of a unique substance in them. The only fluid created by a living creature to heal skin when injured and to fight microbes, in situations much like those dreaded by acne sufferers. It is a mucin produced by the humble land snail for many biological functions. Among them to fight bacteria, shield the skin from UV radiation and oxidation by free radicals. And, what is of far most importance for acne sufferers, to eliminate damaged skin cells and replace them with new healthy collagen, elastin and all the basic elements of healthy skin, including the water retaining molecules. This will help support the underlying structure of the skin - further reducing the depth and look of the scars.

There are no undesired effects with these products, whatsoever. Within a month of using natural products twice a day ever day, you will see a significant change in the softness and color of your skin. Pigmented acne scarring will be greatly improved and the overall texture of your skin will be softer and smoother. Within two months of use, you will also see a significant reduction in acne breakouts. If you are still breaking out, you will find that the blemishes will be greatly reduced in size - and the marks they leave behind will disappear very quickly.
