If you are trying to find out how to get rid of acne scars, there are several things you can try, which have been stated to help. The first of these are home remedies that other sufferer's have shared. The first listed is lemons. Lemon juice works as a natural type of bleaching agent. If you soak a cotton ball of cloth with freshly squeezed juice from a lemon, and rub it on the acne scar at least twice a day, it is said to lighten the scarring. Rinse off with warm water afterwards. You should hold the cotton ball or wash cloth on the area for at least fifteen minutes with each application. It may take up to two months for you to see an improvement, but it should help lighten the scars, and make them virtually impossible to see.

Another home remedy to try is the juice from cucumbers. Like lemon juice it has a slight bleaching affect, but does not contain the acidity that lemons do, so it is slightly easier on the skin. To use cucumber juice to reduce acne scars, completely soak cotton balls with the squeezed juice, and apply to the area . Let the cucumber juice dry, then rinse off. It is recommended that you do this every night for at least a few months.

Another inexpensive remedy to remove the scars of acne, is Vitamin E. You can usually pick this up at a nearby pharmacy for only a few dollars per bottle. Vitamin E is not like cucumbers or lemons, in that it is not a drying or bleaching agent. What it does, is works to repair the damage to your skin caused by the acne, providing nutrients and healing. It is said to be highly effective for the larger and deeper types of scars. All you have to do, is place a very small dot of the oil onto your finger or a cotton ball. Apply it to the areas where there are scars, and do not rinse it off. Use a very small amount. Do this treatment every day, two or three times per day, and you may start to see some improvement in about thirty days.

One last home type of remedy to try, is to make sure you clean your face well, to produce new skin growth. In addition to using lemon juice, cucumber juice and Vitamin E oil for the scarring, make sure you exfoliate your face with a gentle cleanser at least once a week. You can buy exfoliating products at any general store or drug store. You can also use a loofah pad. This will remove your skins dead cells and promote healthier new skin to develop.
