I am so glad that I visited this website. I too, have acne and acne scars that are making me feel unattractive. This website made me realize that I am not the only one dealing with this problem. I visited my local dermatologist in Houston and he gave me some retin a and dual topical cream.The good news is that I am on my way to the road of recovery hopefully by the summer I will be back to my “old self”. God Bless everyone for their contributions to this post you ladies have brightened up my spirits.

I began using the Dr Max Powers “Stretch Mark Treatment” every single day about two months ago and it works WONDERS. First you can use it for stretch marks and you can use it for scars and to moisturize your face and neck, ladies!

You must follow the instructions even though they are pretty simple. If I am using this for acne scars, skin discolorations (sun exposure), uneven skin tone I apply either over makeup (may not be recommended as this could remove your makeup)and on a freshly washed face.

I use the lengths of my fingers not fingertips since they produce the oils that could cause you breakouts from YES touching your face. I rub into the affected area or scar (even works on cystic acne scars) atleast two to three times a day when I am able to. But if not I do this at night before going to bed. Be patient and wait one to two weeks before you notice a big difference as the scar gets lighter your face appears to be glowing and skin discolorations slowly fade.

Keep on it atleast everyday. I thought it was only for men who workout – based on the way the product looks, but I am glad I bought this and one bottle lasted me over two months and I used it everyday! Give this product a try, be patient, follow the directions and you will not be disappointed.

I have had sever acne in the past and was left with unattractive scars on my face.

I purchased the Dr. Max Powers Scar Serum from their website online – it was medium expensive for a scar cream – because I needed a solution. The Max Powers Scar Cream does work well, but don’t expect to see results instantly. You need to apply it regularly and consistently for about a month in order to see results. It really does work though.

My scars are much more toned down and less visible.

Ladies, don’t fret! Try Eminence Skincare Line. The Linden Calendula is GREAT for dry skin, and the Stone Crop Serum is great for fading skin discolorations. The Eight Greens Serum is perfect for controlling breakouts as well. And the best part yet! These products are all natural. If you get a good esthetician, you can almost ditch the dermatologist. I could not live without my facial expert. I also use Vivant Cleansing products for clarity….3% BP Cleanser which cleanses and contains an exfoliant, and green tea cleansing gel, a soothing cleanser that still rids skin of impurities sans exfoliating. Also, their mandelic acid is awesome; it lifts off skin discoloratoins such as brown spots–you will notice the layer of skin peeing off with a day or two most likely. With these two skincare lines, my skin is looking fab! Check them out on http://www.buynaturalskincare.com and http://www.betterhealthyskin.com. I also use Neutrogena Healthy Defense Sunscreen on my face! Hope this helps someone out there!

You can find African Black Soap at http://spasecrets.net or at africaimports.com. My skin is extremely oily and I use to suffer from adult acne and this is the only soap that I will use on my face. I pick my face all the time but you would never know that. You have to be carefull with it because it can be a little abrasive so I suggest just lathering it on your hands and put it on your face that way. I have been using it for over a year and I no longer wear or need any type of foundation on my face. If you try it I hope it works as well for you.

To ya_despierto25,

I’m doing some research on African black soap and was wondering which website you purchase yours from? Is it good for people with oily skin? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

I use nothing but Dudu Osun African Black Soap on my face. I have very oily skin and this stuff works wonders. I use the black soap twice a day and every otherday I use a fine sugar scrub in conjunction with the Black Soap. Recently I was asked by a few friends that I had not seen for about 2 years, if I was sure that I was the mother and not the daughter because I looked so much younger and they commented on how beautiful my skin was now. I use the black soap on the rest of my body also but I will use other soaps just for the scent sometimes. Nubian Heritage Ivorian Coco Butter soap has worked very well for reducing my dark spots. I have several friends that I introduced it to and they love it. This is what has worked for me and trust me I have been able to change years of damage to my skin and my self esteem because looking better has made me feel much better about myself. I think we as black women let our flaws hold us back from too many things. We are all beautiful flaws and all so the sooner we can embrace ourselves the easier it will be for others to embrace us. I wish you much success with whatever routine you choose.

I’ve used Murad to keep acne at bay, baking soda to exfoliate and cleans, this actualy helps get rid of my dark spots as well, lemon juice to tone my skin, and Bare Minarals foundation to look extra fabulous.
