Entity talks acne scar lighteners

Having acne is painful enough, and they can leave dark marks as gifts on their way out. If you’re lucky, acne scars last five to seven days, but sometimes they can last several months.

In all honesty, it’s a total bummer. Acne scars can feel like the most frustrating thing in the world.

Procedures to treat acne scars can cost hundreds of dollars, and many products aren’t affordable, either.

But don’t despair! ENTITY is here to save the day with options of acne skin lighteners that won’t wipe out your bank account.

1 Mario Badescu Whitening Mask ($24)

Do not be disillusioned by the name. This is not a skin bleaching product. It is actually an acne scar lightener that uses very wholesome and natural ingredients. There are no hydroxy acids, only mulberry, licorice and kojic acid. This is a product that will give you results you need without the chemicals nobody wants.

There have been some glowing reviews of the mask on mariobadescu.com.

However, you should take texture into consideration. In a review on ulta.com, a user commented, “I’m not really loving the layer of wax left on my face… kind of feels like I put Vaseline on my skin…” Nothing can be perfect right?

If you’re okay with the Vaseline-feeling, you can pick this bad boy up at Ulta or order it on mariobadescu.com.

2 Renee Rouleau Post-Breakout Fading Gel ($30.50)

As opposed to healing acne and acne scars, this product targets acne scars. And that’s one reason it works so well. Combinations of Amino Acids mix with White Tea Extract to create a mean acne scar fighting machine.

One woman left the review a Obsessed Magazine, saying, “For good measure, I’ll regularly apply the Post-Breakout Fading Gel after the pimple has healed. Because there’s always some sort of not-so-nice trace left behind, especially if you’re dealing with a monster-sized mother****er.” Well said.

This fading gel can only be found at reneeroleau.com.

3 Derma-e Scar Gel Treatment ($20)

This acne scar lightener uses herbal and hypoallergenic ingredients to create a truly effective product. This serum actually breaks down scar tissue and helps regenerate new skin. It also helps alleviate sun damage, which is huge contributor to acne scars.

Sar90 left the review, “I never review products but I couldn’t let this one go without proper acknowledgment. I naturally scar very easily, but I also have a bad habit of picking at my skin. Any bump or blemish, I pick it – which ultimately makes it worse. My face, legs and arms had become scarred and because of this, my skin was horribly and obviously uneven. I started using this gel about a month and a half ago and I saw noticeable results within a couple weeks. It’s fantastic.”

This scar gel is available at Ulta.

4 Clinique Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector ($50)

The primary function of this acne scar lightener is to aid sun damage and the skin aging that follows. However, this is helpful because sun exposure makes acne scars darker and they also last longer. No one wants that, so be sure to pair this treatment with sunscreen every day.

You should see results after roughly 12 weeks of treatment if it’s used twice daily.

Here’s a review from one of the users.

Wait, isn’t this just for stretch marks? Surprisingly, it also does a solid job of fighting acne scars. The oil has healing properties that soothe hyperpigmentation (aka acne marks). The cute packaging is just a bonus.

One user left the review, “This seems to help dramatically with acne scars and uneven blemishes that I have due to my very fairy skin. The smell is something acquired but I like it. I’ve used it before applying foundation and I’m not sure if it’s due to my [already] oily skin but it seems to make it a little more so, but it’s nothing I can’t blot off and keeping going. Love this moisturizer to death. Was looking for a cheaper alternative to Clinique [that’s an] even better skin corrector, this is it!”

This item can be picked up at Walmart or Ulta and it can also be found online.

6 Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution ($45.50)

This acne scar therapy from Kiehl’s does double duty on your skin with the help of good ol’ Vitamin C. It simultaneously lightens acne scar and corrects discoloration to create an even skin tone overall.

One Kiehl’s customer commented, “After about two years of continued use, I have absolutely NO trace of pregnancy mask splotches whatsoever. Yes, it took a long time, but some things are worth waiting for. I still use this product every day and cannot live without it. No dark spots, even after being in the sun. Can’t recommend it enough. Just remember, to give it a fair chance, you really need to invest the money, time and effort!”

This lightener can be found on kiehls.com or at Nordstrom.

7 Clean & Clear Advantage Mark Treatment ($8)

It’s understandable that a skincare product that costs less than $10 is a little suspicious. Does it really work if it’s that cheap? Surprisingly, yes it does.

This Clean & Clear product is an effective acne scar lightener for one main reason. It contains salicylic acid. This ingredient not only helps brighten acne scars, but it also helps prevent acne. All of this for $8 is pretty hard to beat.

One user review stated, “I’ve used it on cystic acne, small breakouts, hyperpigmentation, you name it … and without fail, this product works wonders for my skin! Now that my skin has mostly cleared up, I only need to use it for the occasional breakout and some remnants of hyperpigmentation. It’s nice to have an affordable go-to acne fighting product.”

You can find this acne scar treatment at Walmart and various drug stores.

You deserve to feel amazing in your own skin.
