Does lotion help get rid of a pimple scar?

Answer 1

Unless the lotion contains some form of vitamin C, the chances of it eliminating a pimple scar is very slim. All lotion does is moisturize the skin, nothing more. Pimple scars are very hard to eliminate and therefore the only option would be to decrease the redness by applying either lemon juice, distilled vinegar, tea tree oil, honey, or anything with vitamin C. Creams that specially treat acne scars are also available.

To permanently get rid of acne scars, there are skin resurfacing techniques available. There are also laser treatments which don't seem to work too well. The laser just ends up building more scar tissue underneath your skin.

Best of luck! These scars are a pain in the butt

Answer 2

If the lotion has pore-cloggers in it it will cause you to break out. Here is a list of ingredients you want to avoid. When you go to the drugstore, bring this list with you and make sure any products you buy do NOT have these ingredients.

Answer 3

No, unless it's lotion with something like sacyllic acid in it.

Answer 4

Yes. If you have dry skin, using lotion on the effected area can help treat acne.

Answer 5

it can be a vital part in lightening them but just lotion itself doesnt remove acne scars for me atleast you need a good exfoliant to pair with the lotion like salicylic acid
