How to rid severe acne and scars at the same time?
I have severe acne i guess, my acne has improved alot form BenzaClin, but i have to put alot of moisteriser on because it dires out my skin so bad. I still break out in clumps and big soar pimples/spots. My skin looks gross because it is faded from the BenzaClin and red from my acne and it is all scared. Does anyone know how to get rid of redness and remove scars while still getting rid of my acne?

Below are presented a couple of things you need to do as a part of acne pimples, and scar removal home remedy treatment:
* Gently apply fresh limejuice on pimples and blackheads.
* Dab the mixture made by combining 1 tsp fresh coriander powder and a pinch of turmeric powder on the pimples, while going to bed in the night and wash it off when you wake up the next morning.
* Take a few fresh curry leaves and make a paste. Apply the paste on the acne-affected area and keep it overnight and wash it off with warm water the next morning.
* Apply the paste made of nutmeg (Jaiphal) and raw milk on acne and wash it off after 20 minutes. Do it for about 10-12 days and see the magical effects.

If your acne is this severe, you might want to discuss Accutane as an option with your physician. Then, after a course of a treatment with Accutane, you could then consider chemical peels, dermabrasion, or laser resurfacing to treat the scars (after a six-month recovery period — Accutane makes skin too fragile to have these procedures before then).
There is no cream or oral medication that effectively treats both acne and acne scarring at the same time. Topical retinoids will offer mild improvement over a lengthy period of time to very superficial scars while also treating acne — but they will not improve significant scars. Accutane will prevent future scars — but it doesn’t treat existing scars. Those who assures you of anything different are offering false hope, unfortunately.
The only type of treatment which will simultaneously improve both skin texture and acne is called PhotoDymanic Therapy, which is a treatment that uses BlueLight after the skin is pre-treated with Levulan/Kerastick (a type of acid). This is not covered by most insurance, and the downtime after a procedure is usually about a week (during which the skin will be very red, sensitive and peel significantly).
It sounds like you need more aggressive therapy than BenzaClin if you are continuing to experience breakouts. Good luck — seek the advice of a dermatologist practiced in laser and chemical resurfacing of the skin.
