I have a red acne scar on one of my cheeks from a cystic pimple. Nowadays i dont get pimples because i found a treatment that works n i havent gotten a pimple in months, but the old scars remain and they really look terrible to me.

 

Should i use lemon? I've used it a few times this past week.

 

Or should i buy a cream? Pleae help i really want to get rid of these scars and have nice skin

Please do NOT use lemons. Although people say it is a common remedy for acne, it will impair your skin barrier and deter the skin's healing abilities.

My tips:

1. Wear sunscreen

2. Drink atleast 2 liters of water a day

3. Rosehip oil (Spot test it first to make sure you don't break out). I've also heard plain yogurt/turmeric mask also helps. You might also want to look into raw honey as it has natural healing properties.

Overall, sunscreen and water are the most important steps to fading PIH. But remember - DO NOT use lemon juice or baking soda.

How would lemon mess up your skin barrier? That makes no sense do you have any sources for that claim?

I think he/she is saying that because lemons are acidic just like an AHA. Going the water and honey route, you are basically letting nature take its course with natural remedies for healing and detoxing.
