Hey guys :)

I like to treat my skin with natural products because I think they are a little bit more gentle than chemical products. So I was wondering if is it better to use aloe Vera or rosehip oil as a scar treatment. Did you use any of them? What are your experiences? 

Thanks.

@vicpazI have never seen Aloe or Rose Hip oil do anything for scars. They are great for wounds / healing.

You need actives. Here is a general idea to get cell turnover, but even this will not get rid of scars. Scars are based on individual customized cases, best to see a provider who does cosmetic dermatology. If you cannot afford it, buy a dermastamp or derminator and do glycolic peels alternating monthly.

If you have redness only aka - wounding, PIE, the below can help as well.

Use nightly: Retin-a or tretinorin(prescription), or Differin (Target/Walmart), The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid (if you can't get the above). Cureology(USA) & Yoderm(USA) provides online prescriptions with customized skin care creams for your concerns, those in UK Dermatica provides the same thing. Apply a moisturizer when your face is dripping wet. Wait 5 minutes for it to dry, and then apply the tretinoin. This cuts down on irritation, you can also skip days of application (one or two days a week) if it's irritating and you need to build up %. This provides skin turnover - new collagen. To prevent (reds & browns from all Dr-treatments to ethnic skin or to work on current skin discoloration), try PCA hydroquione free gel for Hyperpigmentaion (Amazon) or Cureology/Dermatica includes this in their products if ordered. Using this prevents hyperpigmentation from treatments. Hydroquinone has side effects for some people, natural options are better with ingredients like: kojic acid/Konjac, Alpha Arbutin, Niacinamide by The Ordinary is great for large pores, discoloration, and inflamation. The Ordinary, Cerave, Eucerin, Dr Sam Bunting Flawless Cleanser, La Roche-Posay (sensitive), and Acne.org's products are all great options for moisturizers and cleaners without fragrance / dyes / allergens. The Three most important things one can use are: Vitamin A skin turnover (retinol, retinaldehyde, retinoid), Vitamin C Serum which makes collagen, and a sunscreen (zinc oxide physical for sensitive skin).
