I wish I had come across something like this years ago! I have an old scar on my face and even though the size of it is smaller than a dime, I am still very self conscience about it! It’s about an inch below my left eye and I can’t help but think that it’s the first thing people notice when they look at me. You know how you hear that you should never squeeze a blackhead or a zit? Well, I found this out the hard way and now I’m left with a scar on my cheek. My linen closest looks like a mini cosmetic store, between the products I purchased to treat the scar and the ones to cover it up. I don’t even want to know what I’ve spent on products and visits to the dermatologist! I could probably pay off one of my credit cards. Anyway, as an addition to the list above, I want to mention Olay Regenerist Targeted Tone Enhancer. I wouldn’t recommend using this on new scars but if you have an old scar that you want to lighten and make less visible, this product is definitely worth trying! It also helped to shrink mine and get rid of that bumpy feeling it had prior to using it. I originally used it only on my scar but after seeing the effects, I then started applying it all over my face. It’s not messy or oily and the directions say to apply it to a clean face prior to your moisturizer. I found that when using it, I didn’t always need to apply additional moisturizer but everyone’s complexion is different. So for anyone looking for help with an old scar, give the Olay Tone Enhancer a try and I hope you have as good as luck as I did!
1I forgot to mention that this is not a super pricey product. I bought it at my local pharmacy and it was under $15.00. Also, the directions say to apply morning and evening and I was really good at making sure I didn't miss an application. Once again, Good Luck!
2Now am i right in assuming that these work well on Stretch marks? At 20 i'm not finished growing and my boobs just SHOT up a couple sizes (small DD to Full E cup in less than a year. this happened also when i was 14.) and Now my chest is covered in purple (i'm very pale white) stretch marks and am DIEING for some help.
Can't a girl wear a (mostly) plunging neckline without feeling gross?
