Acne Scar Treatments Review

What is Zenmed for Acne Scars?

It’s a kit including 2 products:

1) Renewing Microdermabrasion Complex: a granular clay mineral formulation to provide intensive dermabrasion on the surface of the skin.

This formula affords an immediate skin-smoothing effect and with regular, daily use, helps to visibly minimize discolorations and small marks on face.

The most common complaint about microdermabrasion creams, though, is that they cause adverse reactions like irritations or breakouts. Often, this is because the micro dermabrasion cream uses chemicals and irritants which don’t suit a freshly peeled skin. Zenmed Dermabrasion formulation contains only natural ingredients, is very gentle and highly effective for treating scarring on even the most sensitive of skin types.

After MicroDermabrasion Complex, apply sparingly to affected areas, rubbing in until fully absorbed.

This product should be used in the evening and the use of sunscreen is highly recommended. Sun exposure should be minimized.

2) Skin Eraser: It is an Ascorbic-Glycolic-Lactic acid product that effectively exfoliates the upper layers of the skin helping minimize imperfections, dullness, hyperpigmentation, discoloration, bumpiness and fine lines and wrinkles. Esthetician-grade 30% Glycolic Acid, pH 3.5.

These natural acids are also known as Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA). They are naturally occurring acids, derived from sugars in particular plants or in milk. Some examples are Glycolic Acid (Sugar Cane), Lactic Acid (Milk), Tartaric Acid (Grapes), Citric Acid (Citrus Fruits), Malic Acid (Apples), and Mandelic Acid (Bitter Almonds). These acids work at the very base of the stratum corneum, dissolving the cement that holds dead skin cells together. This allows for an increase in cell turnover and influences the structure of new stratum corneum being made. The skin Eraser used a gentle lightening process that will not bleach or damage your skin.

My experience: Don’t expect it to completely remove your scars. Whether or not $60-70 for this product is worth it depends on how horrible your scars are, how much it bothers you and how much disposable income you have. For me, it was worth it.

I suggest you to read a very useful real experience about Zenmed Scar Kit Here.

Any type of acne lesion, including comedones, papules, pustules or nodulocystic lesions, may result in scarring.
It’s impossible to know how much a particular person will scar, if at all.
Early treatment of lesions is the best prevention for acne scarring.


Patients who delay starting antiacne medications for at least 3 years from acne onset, have a greater degree of scarring than those who start acne treatment earlier.
Isotretinoin (Accutane) theraphy is the only preoven cure of acne and should be instituted early in the course of severe acne to prevent scars.
Light therapy can also speed up the healing of active lesions, reduce inflammation, and improve or prevent acne scars.
Superficial chemical peels are also effective.

Wichever treatment you use, you may want to add a depigmenting agent to help prevent exacerbation of acne related skin darkening.

Sometimes treatment is begun too late or simply fails to prevent scars from forming. Some people are also prone to pigmentation and keloid formation. The less severe the acne, the less the risk of developing acne scars.

Remember:to give you the best results, a dermatologist will first treat the acne and get it under control. If you have a tendency to develop acne scars, new acne breakouts can lead to new acne scars.

Before you read about makeup for acne scars, consider the following general guidelines:


1.scar tissue is less permeable than healthy;

2.the scar should be cleaned but not pretreated with a moisturizer;

3.the foundation should be applied with a cotton swab.

Corrective makeup, has a considerable success in the medical field.
There are several levels of camoufage.

To hide the scars in general I recommend:

1.apply a light coat of transparent hair gel on the scar;

2.apply a bit of powder;

3.then apply your normal foundation.

Even treatments with glycolic acid can be a valuable aid to mask and hide the scars.

The major problem in camoufage scars is represented by color variations between the tissues.
The darkest shadow should be applied in the most full scars while atrophic scars should be covered with a lighter cosmetic.

To remove cosmetic camoufage a makeup remover cream with special solvents is necessary.

In the case of very visible scars you can ask for advice to a plastic surgeon.
The permanent micro-tatoo, for example, can soften the texture of the scar tissue.
