| Pros: | feels really good to have it done |
| Cons: | May not be available in your local store |
| Bottom Line: | I only get pimples once every month or so but usually I don't have any pimples. I used to have pimples all the time and I've tried everything. Anyway, this item is called Eskinol. It's a product from the Philippines. I usually use the Calamansi which is like lemon . By the end of the day, I usually take a shower since I feel nasty from all the sweating and everything and I couldn't sleep if I don't take a shower. So before I take a shower, I put some of this Eskinol in a ball of cotton and I would try to clean my face with it. Usually it would take me several balls depending on what I did that day. And usually the cotton would be dark which is surprising since I didn't know how dirty my face was until I used this. I always thought it would be clean once I wash it but it's actually not so that's why I get acne. Anyway, after I take a shower, I use Eskinol again on just one cotton ball to apply it on my face. This will make keep your face from drying out. This is the only time i use it. |

| Pros: | I'm hoping that this will eliminiate my malasma patches that aren't severly dark, just had it done 3 days ago....... |
| Cons: | My face has been sore, swollen, blotchy red; I also broke out in white-heads all over my face. I feel like I have a thick mask on; it would have been intolerable if they had not given me shots of anastetic. |
| Bottom Line: | Still unsure, on 3 days into the healing but have yet to notice any significant improvement in my pigmentation, if anything Im scared because my skin looks even splotchier & is covered with pimples. Time will tell. |
| Recommended: | Yes |
| Usage: | Anita has used this item for about a week. |

| Pros: | need advice |
| Cons: | need advice |
| Bottom Line: | I just came back from Kaiser's dermatology dept. First, they charged me 100 for half hour consultation. Then, gave me a quote for $1000 per treatment. They probably only have Fraxel Laser Treatment. I hope you guys can give some advice how well it works? I see that there is a CO2 treatment, how is it? My scar is not very bad but I just want to make the pores smaller. |

| Bottom Line: | Had co2 lazer procedure 4 years ago for deep rolling acne scars, noticed little if any improvement for acne scars, some decrease in hyperpigmentation. Would say not worth the money if your scars are deep |

| Pros: | At 60 I am a long time sufferer. I had Dermabrasion done about 40 years ago and Laser Resurfacing 10 years ago. I saw some limited improvement from both methods. |
| Cons: | The results did not even approach the promise of either method |
| Bottom Line: | Reading Don from Louisanas post was an inspiration for me. His comments about looking in mirrors and hiding from lights has been my life story. I have an appointment with a plastic surgeon to talk about Fraxel treatments in a couple of weeks and I will post on my progress. |

| Pros: | Over 50% improvement in all types of acne scars in a single treatment. |
| Cons: | One week of down time |
| Bottom Line: | I have been treating acne scars for 28 years with every treatment that has become available. A new technique that I call "tangential laser rsurfacing" using a erbium/carbon dioxide laser (Derma-K) laser in combination with a blending TCA peel on the non scarred areas of the face, consistently gives excellent improvement in all types of acne scars. Much less painful than fraxel or traditional laser resurfacing and much more improvement in a single treatment. Depressed scars are treated with Silikon 1000 (a permanent scar filler) or Perlane one month after the peel. |
