WHAT IS THE FASTEST WAY TO GET RID OF ACNE/SCARS? I'M NOT IN A RUSH, BUT I DO WANT TO STAY CLEAN AND HEALTHY.?

Just last week I have been using aloe vera sap to get rid of my acne and acne scars. And obviously, it's not going to disappear in a manner of days, but I do want to know from anyone's experience if it works or not. I also heard that lemon juice from an actual lemon would help, and I've read other questions very similar to mine, but it's not exactly what I was looking for. Some people say it stings a LOT and some say it doesn't. I know it depends on how sensitive my face is, but I'd like to know-if I place the lemon juice AND the aloe vera sap on my face, would it help more? At night when I put aloe vera, I wash it off after about 30 min and then wait for 15 minutes to apply my Differin medicine. It says that Differin helps if using it for 9 months, and trust me I've been using it for a year and a half already. It's nothing severe, but I occasionally get acne here and there. I appreciate your answer even if you just tried :) Thanks.WHAT IS THE FASTEST WAY TO GET RID OF ACNE/SCARS? I'M NOT IN A RUSH, BUT I DO WANT TO STAY CLEAN AND HEALTHY.?
I'm studying to be a dermatologist. First, I'll tell you what some of the main causes of acne are: Hormones, Stress, Heavy or Oily Make-Up, Diets, Genes, Sweat, Dirt, Oil, Picking, Plucking, and Squeezing, Oil from when Your Hair gets on Your Face, Clogged Pores, Irritation, and Certain Face Washes. What you always need in your acne wash is Salicylic Acid. Not very many acne washes have this (surprisingly) except for Clearasil and and Neutrogena. I use Clearasil and it has definitely worked for me and I noticed a difference in just one week. When you start using a new acne wash, it's a good idea to only use it once a day and gradually increase to two or three times a day. You should wash your face before you go to bed and when you wake up in the morning and of course whenever you get sweaty (after sports, work, etc.). After you wash your face, wait 5-15 min. before you put anything on your face. The water could still be on your face or in your pores even if it's not visible, so you have to wait for it to dry. Once you've waited, put Benzoyl Peroxide on your face (can be found in Clearasil Creams). The Benzoyl Peroxide will reduce zit size and redness and prevent acne from coming back. Be careful when you use Benzoyl Peroxide because if it gets in your hair, it could bleach the part it touched. The only good part about it, is that it will bleach facial hairs and make them not as visible. You also should not put on Benzoyl Peroxide if you are going out in the sun. If the sun has contact with the Benzoyl peroxide it could bleach your skin and leave a mark. Do not put on Benzoyl Peroxide if you have a sunburn on your face because it will dry out the sunburn and cause pealing. It's best if you use the same brand of products. I do not recommend using toners, astringents, or pads. Exfoliaters are not good for your face unless you have really dry skin. If you don't have a lot of dry skin, don't use exfoliaters because it can irritate your acne and cause more acne to appear. Do not pick or pop acne because it will only irritate it and create more acne. Also be sure to stay on a healthy diet and drink plenty of water. Good Luck!!WHAT IS THE FASTEST WAY TO GET RID OF ACNE/SCARS? I'M NOT IN A RUSH, BUT I DO WANT TO STAY CLEAN AND HEALTHY.?
