I am looking for anyone who can suggest a lotion or cream for my skin, Its VERY dry and the tone is very uneven I am pretty pale but I have some yellow spots and brown spots on top of some acne scarring I cant afford the 100 dollar department store stuff that only gives you a lipstick sized tube so does anyone know of anything that may work to even out the skin tone or fade the acne scaring?

What can I do next?

Yes there is a treatment that reduces acne scars and in most cases can eliminate them. Its microneedling.
I had several laser treatments, face lift and fraxel laser that did not work. I went to one appointment and got a 30% reduction the first time, after 5 treatments they are 90% gone.

There is a product by Acne Free called Scar Eraser that can be purchased at drug stores for like $10. It's a 2-piece kit that comes with a lightening lotion to fade scars and a great lotion with vitamin E and SPF 15 sun block to moisturize and protect. It's worked well for me and you can't beat the price.
Good luck.

I sugest Pro active. I use it and it helps even out skin tone, and helps promaote skin health.
I also have acne scars, and my dermatologist said dermabraision is the only "cure". So when I save $1500 I will say goodbye to my acne scars.
FYI Dermabrasion and mircro-dermabrasion are different.
Good luck!!!

I tried this stuff called AMBI Fade Cream and it worked really well. You just dab a little on every day and it lightened a dark area on my skin from sun damage. It's made by Johnson and Johnson and they have one for normal and one for oily skin. The best part is that I bought it at Walmart so it was cheap. It's worth a try and I really did get great results. Hope it helps.

S.,

i am an independent consultant for Arbonne International, it is a health & wellness company that specializes in skin care.
we have 3 skin care lines that i think would fit your need, it would just be up to you to decide which one. the least expensive one is our acne line, do you still have acne? this one is awesome because it does NOT contain peroxide (like proactive), so it will not overdry your skin, and then cause you to over produce more oil. as part of the set, it comes with bacteria-fighting supplements to take, so you can start healing from the inside out.
the next line is our Intelligence line and that is a self-adjusting line, so if you have oily spots on certain parts of your face/dry on others, it would help to even you out.
this line will help even out your skin tones and balance you out as far as your dry/oily spots.
the 3rd line, which is my favorite, is our anti-aging line. it is also self-adjusting, but will also help reduce your wrinkles/help prevent new ones :) one of my favorite products with this line is our eye cream, it will help to lighten the dark circles under your eyes, and since it has a bleaching agent in it, you can put it on other areas of your face to lighten acne spots.
i used to break out a lot around my chin, and i have been using it to lighten my skin there.

i have a website if you would like to read more or contact me:
heatherwood.myarbonne.com

hope this helps,
-H.

Hi S....

I do know of some great products that will help you with all of your issues and all of them are quite a bit cheaper than $100! I don't mean to sound like a sales pitch but I'm a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant and I am love our products SO MUCH! I am very confident that these products will do wonders for your skin! If you don't love them, you can return them. No questions asked! We guarantee all our products 100%!

For your extremely dry skin we have an Intense Moisturizing Cream, $30. This is great for dry skin. It infuses skin with a marine extract, vitamin E and minerals leaving your skin looking immediately more radiant and feeling hydrated for up to 10 hours.

If you still have oil issues then I would recommend our Oil-Free Hudrating Gel instead, also $30. Because oily skin can become as dehydrated as dry skin. It restores your skins moisture balance and hydrates for up to 10 hours as well.

For your discoloration we have a product called Even Complexion Essence, $35. It restores your skin's natural, even tone by helping reduce visible dark spots and reverse skin discoloration.

And for you acne scaring we have a set called a Microdermabrasion Set. This is a heavy duty exfoliator that wont damage your skin and refines pores and poishes your skin then the replenishing serum replenishes and soothes your skin. It's amazing! Now this is more expensive but all of these product will last you at more 6 months even as long as a year! This is $55 for the set.

Check out my website, www.marykay.com/ambrly. I'm not located in your area but if you would like to have a web party I could get you $75 of the product, of your choice, for only $35; If you can get some friends to order at least $200. It is so worth it to get your friends involved for your first purchase, after that you'll just have to re-order when you run out of something. Or have another party, which ever would be fine by me! :o)

I honestly hope this information helps you. I love working for Mary Kay because of woman like you. I want you to look and feel beautiful! Please, if I can do anything else for you, please let me know. I can also do payments if you need to. Please contact me at:

Being that I am a Mary Kay consultant, I highly recommend that you try a free facial from a consultant. This is these women's jobs and when they come to you they evaluate your skin and problems and let you try out products customized to your needs. No, you don't have to have a party and you aren't forced to buy stuff. In the end, if your unhappy with anything, you get a complete refund. I am from NLV, and I see your somewhere outside Vegas. I do know many consultants from the area that are active and very knowledgable (as opposed to you looking online, because many women are consultants for personal use and family and don't make a full-tome career out of it) If you are interested in finding someone in your area that would be willing to facial you, please email me at ____@____.com.

I hope I don't sound too "Mary Kay ladyish"
