1. Vitamin E prevents acne scarring and can also be used to fade old scars.

2. I don't have a Website to direct you to, but I know that Vitamin "E" works really well to promote scar healing and general skin health. I was with a girl that suffered from acne scars and she found that using Vitamin E liquid gelcaps taken orally & topically (she would poke a hole in the gelcap and squeeze out the Vitamin E oil inside and apply it directly to the scar) helped fade her acne scars. Best of Luck!!

3. for acne i recommend Clean and Clear Advantage acne kit. it really works..

as for cold sores, i use Abreva..

4. i have had this bad bad uncontrollable acne all my life.. it just erupts outta no where.. each acne is huge and takes sometimes months to go and leaves behind ugly purple blotches.. 've tried every single product, prescription and home remedy.. i started using eucalyptus oil on my face in frustration.. i read somewhere that it is antiinflammatory and antibacterial.. so just applied some all over my skin after washing face.. it was like magic.. the inflammation, redness and pain went away in like five mins.. the acne has been reducing consistantly and no new acne ever since.. i really think u should try it on.. it does dry ur skin a bit.. but use a good natural toner after applying eucalyptus.. the dark blotches are also reducing significantly :)

5. Here's my routine.

1. Cleanse/Exfoliate (I use any cleanser as long as my face is not allergic to it, but my secret lies with my EXFOLIA cloth. Check it out. It's cheap, easy to use, and gets rid of acne and acne scars and blackheads)
2. Tone (I just splash cold water on my face several times to tone. Toners are expensive)
3. Moisturize (I use Aveeno because it's not greasy, doesn't clog pores, really works, and it's cheap)
4. Once or twice a week, I use a mask. A homemade one is best. Plain yogurt works, as does honey and egg white.

Other tips:
1. Drink fresh carrot/beet/celery juice daily. It tastes like crap, but works.
2. Drink TONS of water.
3. Limit sugar intake.
4. Replace your pillowcase often so bacteria doesn't get into your face.

6. this tips help me a lot i hope it help u too! sorry it long tips

Best Practices
# Wear protective clothing and hats as an additional measure of protection.
# Avoid the sun during peak hours (10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.)
#Apply sunscreen at least 30 minutes BEFORE you go out into the sun
If you go into the sun immediately after applying sunscreen, stay in the shade for the first 30 minutes.
#Reapply your sunscreen about every 2 hours.
#Use an SPF-containing lip balm whenever you are out in the sun.

Tips for Preventing Breakouts
* Choose "noncomedogenic" hair, skin, & makeup products.
* Avoid touching your face with your hands. Hands can spread bacteria to facial pores.
* Rinse off soon after working out to help prevent sweat and skin oils from mixing and clogging pores.
* Avoid overwashing or using harsh scrubs. These can cause excess oil production.
* Keep stress under control. Stress doesn't cause acne, but it may lead to overproduction of skin oils.

Retinol (is Vitamin A) is very successful when used as a treatment for acne, scars and skin ailments
Regular application of Retinol will make the skin smooth and soft. pores on the skin will be less visible. Aging signs due to wrinkles in the skin will decrease. Retinol also stimulates collagen production.help treat wrinkles, deep lines, circles under the eyes, and acne scars on the face

Look Among the hundreds of ingredients in skincare products:
Vitamin A (retinol, retinoic acid or Retin-A, retinyl propionate, and retinaldehyde)
Vitamin E: DL-alpha-tocopherol
Vitamin C ascorbic acid or Ascorbyl
Vitamin B3 : niacinamide or niacin
B5: (pantothenic acid)
What ingredients should I look for in a skin cream?
An effective skin cream will contain ingredients that help minimize your skin's water loss. Look for creams with glycerin moisturizer (glycerin) , silicones, dimethicone and mineral oil. Creams containing synthetic or natural lipids (fat) work to imitate your natural skin and can also be effective

7. Acne is common, but it is very ugly especially if it will ruin your good skin. To prevent that, there is the best acne cream in the market to provide you a solution for the problem. This cream will be your saving grace and with the use of this you will appear effortless in taking care of your skin. You only have to apply the best acne cream as directed and see for yourself how good it works. There is no telling when acne can appear on your face, but you have to be prepared for it. One good way is by following a proper health regime so that you can continue to have fair skin.

Beware of those who claim to be the best acne cream but only dries up your skin. It is true that drying up the skin will help remove acne, but when it leaves your skin more damaged, that is definitely not good or beneficial. Most acne products are like this because it is the simplest way of getting rid of acne. This is usually accompanied by exfoliating agents in the product. Thankfully, there are products that differ with their ingredients like the best acne cream, which means that they do things differently. With their different method you can get rid of the acne and still have moisturized skin.
