It’s the second kick in the gut from acne. The scarring that’s left behind after the lesions have gone and the frustrating thing about acne scars, is that they can be permanent. That is that some people are stuck with them for life.

The good news though, is that treatments for all types of scarring have come a long way from earlier days when that market genre was dominated by fraudulent products. Creams and lotions that only worked to rid you of your money.

Today the most effective of the newer topical products function to bolster the skins natural collagen production systems. Collagen you see, is what your skin uses to rebuild itself and in case you didn’t know it, scars do fade naturally over time.

Now collagen creams are nothing new, and in fact they have been around for decades. The problem though was that older collagen creams actually contained collagen, so they didn’t work. You see, what most people don’t know is that they were buying ordinary gelatin.

The problem with these types of ineffective products though, is that if they actually worked you would also be able to grow hair by smearing powdered hair on your head. Or, you could also build up muscles by applying raw beef to your skins surface.

Instead what you can find today is far more exacting treatment technologies that use a host of active substances such as peptides, hyaluronic acid, and even new peptide matrix “triggers”. Groups of peptides that your skin uses as triggers to tell it to produce more collagen.

The fact is that these peptide matrices are a natural tool that your body uses when its skin cells have been damaged, or killed off. Picture them as the “bones” of collagen that remain after everything else has been removed by your skins system.

Now the great thing about it, is that these peptide matrices are in fact molecules that are small enough to bypass the skins outer protective epidermal layer. Once they do this, they function to “trick” your skins restorative system to start back up.

It’s a new way of treating all types of scarring. However, be aware that the active substances that these new topical treatments contain can be patented, and they are. What this means, is that you can expect to pay more for them than you may have for older systems.
