Hi! I have acne and acne scars. I have been looking at some products and fould that DDF, Murad, Dermalogica and MD Formulations seem to have a lot of good reviews. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I like most of the Dermalogica that I've tried and it is brilliant for acne skin, have a look at the Oily skin care kit:

I would especially look at the Multi Vitamin Power Recovery Mask for clearing any acne scars.
I also loved the clay cleanser and skin prep scrub. I am yet to try the toner.

what about the Dr. H Rejuvenating mask. You can put that on as a moisturizer over night and it should help deminish acne scars as well as diminish the look of pores

BC Girl, is not it harmful to leave masks on overnight as the skin can't breathe? (Or purge toxins)

With the Dr Hauschka Rejuvenating Face mask (and with the firming and moisturising masks) it is actually recomended on the Dr Hauschka site to leave them on all day.
I just prefer to leave mine on all night, it is no different than putting on face cream.
I have not tried this with any other brands though.

FYI - I frequently leave my Dermalogica Multi-Vitamin Power Recovery Mask on overnight (although just a thin layer) without any ill results.

I posted this response recently in another thread:

What do you mean by “acne scars:” are you talking about the pits or craters that severe acne-sufferers are left with, or do you mean those red blotchy marks left behind once a bump heals? If you’re referring to the latter, then a plain old homemade aspirin mask will SIGNIFICANTLY reduce the appearance of them after only one application. Just this past weekend I had a rare TOM skin freakout with a bunch of zits that cropped up. I was easily able to remove the “debris” from the bumps and was left with a bunch of those post-breakout red marks spread strategically all over my face. Confused

Monday morning I used my (super charged) variation of the standard aspirin mask and when I rinsed it off, the red marks had all but faded to a distant memory!

Unfortunately, if you’re talking about the *other* type of acne scars, thankfully I never experienced outbreaks like that so I have no advice to offer. Sad

If you are, in fact, talking about the red marks left from previous breakouts, then you ought to give the homemade aspirin mask a try! If you don’t believe that it’ll really work, here’s a “testimonial” from another satisfied EDS member:

i love carekates sooper dooper mask because it gets rid of red marks that i could never get rid of whatever i used. this is encouraging me to make my own stuff rather than buy products as ones i make can be great. i can't thank carekate for that! i would never had thought to make my own stuff otherwise.

You can find the ‘recipe’ for the homemade aspirin mask in the “~~~ DIY Skincare Recipes ~~~” sticky thread in the Skincare & Makeup section of the forum.

Good luck!

With Dr. H rejuvenating mask it is ok to leave it on over nite. You can wear it as a mask or for over-nite treatment put a little bit on like a moisturizer and when you wake up in the morning your pores will be diminished. You can even wear this product in the daytime as a moisturizer and put your make-up over-top of it. I"ve done that for about a month and the appearance of my acne marks have really diminished.

The homemade Apple Cider Vinegar toner is also good at minimising scars:

I think there are two ways of dealing with it. See a dermotologist or look for different products that may help.

I think you need to exfoilate on regular basis. I use Soyna Dakar Omega 3 oil. I found that helped.

i will definitely try that when i get my oily skin care kit. I have post acne red marks that need to be gone quick!
