To improve patient care and outcomes, leading dermatologists offered their recommendations on acne scar treatments. Consideration must be given to:
- Effaclar BB Blur
La Roche-Posay Laboratoire Dermatologique
“Unfortunately, acne scars are permanent, but by applying cosmetics over the skin, you can minimize their appearance. Combining ingredients that give cosmetic coverage, minimize pores, and absorb oil, this product gives the skin a brighter, more even complexion.”
— Joshua Zeichner, MD, New York, New York
- Fraxel
Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc
Recommended by Gary Goldenberg, MD, New York, New York
- Glytone Rejuvenating Mini Peel Gel
Pierre Fabre Dermo Cosmetique USA
“This gel product contains a low concentration of glycolic acid. It can be applied at home, left on the skin for 10 minutes, and neutralized with water.”
—Cherise M. Levi, DO, New York, New York
- SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.25
Allergan
“Retinol will help to minimize acne scarring.”
— Shari Lipner, MD, PhD, New York, New York
