There are a lot of home remedies that can reduce the look of your cystic acne scars. But, just because something claims to be natural doesn't mean it's safe. Read up on the ingredients involved in remedies and avoid ingredients that you're sensitive or allergic to. If you're thinking about buying an over-the-counter home treatment for scar removal, research the product first. If you have darker cystic acne scars, the vitamin C in lemon juice can improve wound healing. Use a cotton ball or cotton swab soaked in lemon juice and apply it directly to your scar. If you have sensitive skin, then dilute the juice with water or with a non-comedogenic oil, such as argan oil. Let the juice air dry before rinsing your skin with warm water. Repeat this once a day. Do not expose your skin to the sun while you have lemon juice on it. The lemon juice makes your skin more sensitive to the sun. Cystic scar tissue may feel firm or rough. Applying aloe vera gel into the scar may soften the scar tissue. Use gel directly from the aloe vera plant or purchase an aloe vera gel that doesn't contain many additional ingredients. Aloe vera may improve the appearance and characteristics of scars. It's an anti-inflammatory herb which helps increase the elasticity of the new skin tissue. Choose a gel caplet of vitamin E that contains 400 IU in liquid form and choose a gel caplet of vitamin D that contains 1000 to 2000 IU in liquid form. Open each gel caplet and squeeze the vitamins into a small bowl. Mix in 8 to 10 drops of castor oil and massage the mixture onto your scar. Leave the vitamins on your skin to improve the appearance of your cystic acne scars. Or, you could try mixing 2 to 3 drops of lavender oil or St John's wort oil into 2 tablespoons of castor oil for a healing massage oil. St. John's wort oil is often used to heal c-section scars. Steep a bag of organic green tea in warm water to soften it. Place the tea bag directly on your scar for 10 to 15 minutes. Do this 3 times a week and work your way up to using the treatment daily. You can also soak a cotton towel in green tea, squeeze out the excess and place it over the scar. Green tea may minimize scarring because it contains antioxidants that help your skin heal. Silicone bandages can help to reduce the appearance of acne scars as well. The bandage has to be worn continuously, so consider whether you are willing to wear a bandage on your face for an extended period of time, possibly for several months. You can buy silicone bandages over-the-counter.
