Different Kinds of Acne Scars
To treat your acne scars, it is very important to know beforehand which scars they are. Indeed, just as there are different types of acne, there are several types of acne scars: pigmentary, hypertrophic or even atrophic (1).
2 main types of acne scars
The most common scars are pigmentary. As the name suggests, they are colorful. They can be of different colors. Depending on the case, they can be very pigmented, with shades of pink, purple, red, brown, or only white.
On the other hand, there are the scars hypertrophic et atrophic. Hypertrophic scars are raised red, while atrophic scars, also called “recessed scars”, leave a mark or a hole following the disappearance of the acne spot.
There are different treatments depending on each one, namely dermatological treatments, cosmetic treatments, but also natural remedies. Let's take a look at these remedies to say goodbye to your acne scars.

Essential oils have beneficial properties on acne scars. Take the example of lemon and celery essential oils. On the one hand, they help fade pigmentary acne scars.

You can use these pure oils directly on the affected areas (face, of , etc.).
First, soak a cotton swab with 1 or 2 drops of essential oil.
Then apply to the areas to be treated using a circular massage to penetrate the active ingredients into the skin. Few essential oils can be applied directly to the skin, and be careful of allergies to essential oils, which are quite common.
It is recommended to apply twice a day, morning and evening. In general, it takes two months of treatment to see the effects. Furthermore, you can also dilute essential oils with vegetable oils, which are just as effective on acne scars as we will see below.
Vegetable oils for acne scars
Vegetable oils also have healing, regenerating and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to effectively fade acne scars. In addition, they can also act on stretch marks.
Among them, rosehip oil, highly concentrated in vitamin K, essential fatty acids, omega 3, 6 and 9, reduces spots and redness caused by acne spots. It repairs the skin in depth thanks to its healing powers. In addition, it stimulates the production of new skin cells, allowing the skin to regenerate to make way for more beautiful skin. Rosehip oil, due to its scent, is very pleasant to use.
Other vegetable oils also have beneficial properties on acne scars, such as jojoba oil, black seed oil, coconut oil, avocado oil and hazelnut oil. Just like rosehip oil, these oils have healing, regenerating and anti-inflammatory powers, but also moisturizing and nourishing properties.
Pour a few drops into the palm of your hand and warm for a few seconds before application. They are used in the same way as essential oils, namely pure by performing a circular massage of the area concerned. Repeat the application twice a day for two months. We recommend that you opt for organic labeled vegetable oils, which are better for your skin but also for the environment.

Aloe vera is a plant that is widely used in skin care. It has exceptional soothing, healing and regenerating properties. It is also one of the natural remedies for acne scars.
Apply the equivalent of a teaspoon of Aloe vera pulp to your scars, leave for 30 minutes then rinse with water. Redness and scars are effectively reduced. If possible, it is best to grow the plant at home to be able to remove the pulp. Otherwise, more and more specialized stores sell aloe vera gel directly bottled.
Vitamin E to tone and regenerate the skin
Vitamin E is known to be a natural antioxidant. It helps to tone and regenerate the skin. Available in liquid form in a bottle or in pill form, you can find it in pharmacies, drugstores and herbalists.
It is recommended to purchase products labeled Tocopherol. You only need to apply a few drops as a massage to help spread the benefits on the scars. Vitamin E gradually reduces acne scars while giving radiance to the skin, sometimes dull in the case of acne-prone skin.
Manuka honey with healing properties
Honey, particularly Manuka honey, harvested in New Zealand, is very effective on acne scars thanks to its exceptional healing properties. It also contains methylglyoxal, known for its anti-inflammatory properties and promoting skin tissue repair (2). It should be applied in a thick layer to acne spots and scars and left on for 20 minutes, then rinse with plenty of water. Available on specialized merchant sites, in organic stores and pharmacies.

Treatments for hypertrophic and atrophic scars
For hypertrophic and atrophic scars, it is strongly recommended to consult a dermatologist, these being more severe. A quick reminder, hypertrophic scars are characterized by a slight excess of skin on the surface, while atrophic scars leave a mark or a hole.
The different treatments for these acne scars
Depending on the appearance of the scars, the latter can offer you several techniques (3):
- Microsurgery: consists of removing a very small part of tissue, in order to reduce hypertrophic scars.
- Injections: injections of hyaluronic acid or collagen, more generally used in cosmetic surgery to fill wrinkles, restore volume or sculpt shapes, can fill atrophic scars.
- Dermabrasion: it is a surgical technique, performed under local or general anesthesia, which consists of eliminating the superficial layer of the epidermis, or even down to the superficial dermis, using an abrasive brush or lasers. After destruction of this layer of skin, new skin will be rebuilt thanks to the powers of healing.
- Peels: There are peels formulated with fruit acids and deep peels concentrated in phenol. The action of peeling on the skin causes desquamation, detachment and loss of the superficial layer of the epidermis. In order for acne scars to fade effectively, several superficial or medium peeling sessions are necessary.
- Lasers: This is another solution that your dermatologist can prescribe to erase your acne scars. Just like peels, there are different types of lasers, some of which require hospitalization with general anesthesia.
