This is a miracle worker for getting rid of scars. It’s helped many on Answers. I had pronounced scars from childhood accidents and pimple/acne scars and as I didn’t protect myself from sun damage I also had discolorations. Treatment got completely rid of them all. It’s low cost as it’s using safe, natural oils. Use any, but the best for acne prone skins are lavender, rosewood or grape seed – used by skin specialists for clearing up acne. Will not clog, cause break outs or make skin oily.
JUST APPLYING ANYTHING TO SKIN is going to do very little, if anything at all . You need to rub scars over and over many times and the rubbing friction rubs them away. First, in area being worked on, you firm or tighten skin by tightening face muscles and for best and quickest results do for 5 minutes several times a day. Expect to see significant fading in only 10 to 15 days depending on how vigorously you do the rubbing. Try it – you will be happy that you did!
See my many Best Answers for more info. ( scars, etc) and detailed info. on how best to tighten or firm skin and massage.
Definitely do not use lemon juice as recommended in above answer – it’s detrimental to the skin and it doesn’t work. Do an ANSWERS search to confirm.
