Acne scars and pure, natural vitamin e oil?

at night i am using benzoyl peroxide which is working great ... but i still have marks from previous pimples ... i have been rubbing natural vitamin e oil on my skin (i am talking about my face just to clarify) during the day. i know vitamin e is really good for your skin, so will this help the scars to fade? i do know about mederma, but i am so broke and i cant afford it right now. and i already have the vitamin e oil.

yes, vitamin E works wonders !
but try to put it only on the scars, it could also clog up your pores.
you should try to swallow vitamin E tablets also.

but you could also try bio oil, which worked wonders for me.
its about 10 dollars

used it.

    It probably can't hurt but doubt it will help, depending on the typing of scarring. Pitted scars are resultant from, not only damage to the skin, but the tissue beneath the skin; thus, topical creams and ointments would not really work. Mild acne scarring will improve over time.

    To date, the ony truly effective methods I know of for severe acne scarring are chemical peel , dermabrasion, laser or resurfacing of scars, soft-tissue augmentation, intralesional steroid injection (keloids) or excisional surgery .

    well don’t worry they are not really scars at all.. Most acne marks are just superficial meaning that they will just fade away with time. Benzoyl peroxide strips layers of skin away making the marks look more visible, and it also dries the skin so using that may not be in your best interest. Tea tree oil works better than benzoyl peroxide and its natural. its expensive though so you may have to wait. to help fade the scars you may want wash your face with warm salt water then rub the vitamin e oil... try it for a few days

    Also stay out of the sun and when you finish your benzoyl peroxide and vitamin e oil buy tea tree and jojoba oil online they work muc better...
