WARNING: This is an extreme measure. Please DO NOT use on overly sensitive skin. Be careful! Use common sense.
I have acne scars on my face. They are pretty mild, so I wasn't too willing to drop $200-$400 on some expensive peel. Even the 'home' chemical peels on the internet can be pricey. So... I bought a bottle of liquid wart remover for like $3. (Sold almost everywhere found in the foot care section) I wet a cotton ball and then put the wart remover on it. (Wart remover is 15% salicylic acid) I waited all of 60 seconds and then rinsed with cool water. Do this ONLY every 7-10 days. Any more than this will irritate badly! After rinsing my skin, I applied a mixture of mederma (pretty expensive) and neosporin (I considered squeezing vitamin e capsules on the area, but didn't have time). I do have red hair and sensitive skin, but I urge ANYONE who uses this to be careful! My skin is usually red the next day, so I apply zinc diaper rash ointment to the area and it soothes and heals the redness. The area will look like a sunburn if done correctly. Peeling will occur. Please do not pick-this can cause further scarring! Let the skin naturally peel off and heal the scars. Do not leave salicylic acid on the skin for over 5 minutes! I don't care who you are- anything over 5 minutes will seriously irritate you. Be patient! It may take 4-6 peels to soften/heal the scars effectively. When applying, the area will sting this is normal. The wart remover strips off dead skin and results in peeling- over time healing scarred areas. Wait until about 3 days after you've done this and you can use a mild exfoliator. (Try mixing olive oil and sugar) Do not exfoliate too soon after treatment! The area will be irritated. Please be careful. This is, in my opinion, the absolute best treatment for scars available. It may not totally eliminate, but you can be sure it will soften and smooth scars!
