Face Acne Scars
People who suffer from severe cases of acne often have face acne scars despite the fact that the acne has healed. There are many different types of face acne scars that are caused for different reasons. Most of the scars are caused by a loss of facial tissue or by an increase in the facial tissue.
Keloid And Hypertrophic Face Acne Scars
There are two scars that have been created by the increase of tissue that has formed on the face; hypertrophy and keloids. Both of these type of scars are caused by the over production of collagen. The collagen is working overtime to make up for the harm that is being done to the skin cells. When there is too much being produced it will create a fibrous mass that will have an irregular shape and will become a scar.
Keloid and hypertophic face acne scars are usually 1 to 2 millimeters in diameter - but they can be slightly larger at times. These scars can last for many years - but they do have the ability to grow smaller over that time period.
Ice-Pick Face Acne Scars
These face acne scars will usually be found on a person’s cheek. They can be small in size and are identified by the jagged edge and steep sides. They can be shallow or deep and either soft or hard.
Depressed Fibrotic Face Acne Scars
These type of face acne scars are some of the largest and also can be identified by their steep edges. Over time these scars were once ice pick scars and became depressed fibrotic.
Soft Face Acne Scars
These face acne scars are soft and can be identified by the rolling edges that connect to the normal looking skin. They are usually small in size and in the shape of a small circle.
Atrophic Macules Face Acne Scars
These type of face acne scars are also small in size. They have a wrinkled base and can be identified by the bluish color that they have. This color is caused by the blood vessels located underneath them. Over time this color will diminish and become white.

Not long ago I began experiencing acne breakouts on my chin. My dermatologist actually laughed at me being 35 and still experiencing acne. What's a girl to do when her dermatologist laughs at her?
This determined girl took matters into her own hands and began a rigorous routine of research until I came across an oil-free (and chemical free) moisturizers and a line of organic products that I had not tried before.
I purchased a 2 ounce bottle of Made from Earth's oil-free Rosehip & Hibiscus Face Serum and within days of using it, my chin had cleared up completely and I've not experienced any more breakouts as with some other moisturizers. Chock full of certified organic ingredients, 100% vegetarian ingredients, powerful antioxidants free of parabens, synthetics and petroleums, how could my skin not respond in a wonderful, healing way?
Since Made from Earth products are created with certified organic ingredients - they do no harm. Instead of the typical water base used in most product ingredients. While the Rosehip Serum works great, I have now moved onto the "Vitamin Enhanced Moisturizer" which has really made my cheecks real rosy.
I recommend you start with the Made from Earth Rosehip Serum - and then once the acne is cleared up, use the Vitamin Enhanced Moisturizer to maintain that great complextion. Good luck!
