Topping our list for the Best Serum for Acne Scars is a product that uses Tea tree oil as its main ingredient, along with Retinol and Hyaluronic acid as support.

This serum is mainly used to reduce the visible signs of aging such as wrinkles and fine lines. It may also do a fair job in lightening up pigmentations and fading acne scars.

This serum mostly constitutes of Tea tree oil and is concentrated for good reason.

For starters, Tea tree oil is nature's response to benzoyl peroxide - in fact, it is even milder!

Acne is why we get scars at first place. The Tea tree oil in this serum may prevent eventual breakouts, disrupting their further escalation.

Tea tree oil dries acne out. Also, this oil is antibacterial and antifungal. Since your skin’s condition may worsen because of the bacterial or fungal infections, the Tea tree oil in this serum may fight the infection. Simultaneously, it can dry the zit, and clear your skin.

Prevention is still a better cure, but what if the acne scar already exists?

This serum contains Retinol, which may take care of it. Other aging skin issues like wrinkles and fine lines can also be prevented.Retinol is a derivative of Vitamin A and is pretty helpful as an anti-aging ingredient.

Structurally-speaking, Retinol is a small molecule. This is why it can penetrate deeper into your skin and affect your cells positively.

Retinol encourages your skin cells to regularly turn-over. It may also help with exfoliation. Together, turnovers and exfoliation may remove the dead cells that are usually damaged, pigmented, scared, and basically useless.

The Retinol in this serum may encourage the cells to function in a healthier way. Protective barriers and collagen production are both stimulated and boosted.

Because of Retinol, you can have a new layer of healthier, blemish-free and younger-looking skin. Acne scars may fade or be removed completely because of this new layer.

Tea tree oil and Retinol, although effective ingredients, may cause some drying if used longer. Thankfully, this serum contains Hyaluronic acid that may address that concern.

Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide that may maintain moisture in your skin.

It has the unique ability to hold in moisture (up to 1000 ml per gram of this acid). It may even adjust moisture absorption rate to suit the current season.

What we liked about this serum is that it contains ingredients that complement each other. It provides what the other lacks and the ingredients are balanced out.

The light scent was also a plus considering that this serum contains 5 ingredients that are mainly acids and vitamins. Fairly speaking, most of us do not consider them fragrant.

Coming in at number two is a serum that multitasks. It is capable of removing pimples, blemishes, acne scars and dark spots. Meanwhile, it can hydrate your skin and keep the fine lines and wrinkles at bay.

Using Glycerin, Tea tree leaf oil, and Willow bark extract, this serum may just do what it takes for users with varying skin types.

Tea tree is an antibacterial, antifungal ingredient. It may unclog pores, dry out existing acne, and prevent you from getting a future breakout.

It may do this by cleaning the pores and removing excess oil and dirt. This may be the cause of your acne in the first place. Also, these sebum and dirt combo may be the culprit behind your acne. Thus, further scars may fade or be entirely gone.

As for the hydration part, this serum contains Glycerin which is a well-known ingredient in most moisturizers.

Glycerin is a humectant which means it may attract moisture onto your skin.

Moisture is needed because your skin cells may run dry. Also, the moisture may help tighten sagging skin, fill in for wrinkles and fine lines, and generally rejuvenate the skin cells. This results in a firmer, smoother and younger skin appearance.

The last ingredient in this serum is Willow bark extract which is a rich source for a Beta-Hydroxy Acid (BHA) - Salicylic acid.

Salicylic acid may exfoliate your skin and it especially works well with the oily skin type.

Exfoliation may not only remove dark spots and dead cells, this may also help fade acne scars as well as fine lines and wrinkles.

Aside from exfoliation, this acid may also treat your condition as it can clean pores and remove excess sebum. Without acne, there would be no threat of scars causing all the fretting.

For this serum, we liked how it dried easily. As it may be used under makeup, the time that we used to allow it to seep it in and dry wasn't long and we appreciated that.

Top three on the list is a product that uses the EGF technology to get rid of acne scars as well as the visible signs of aging.

For this serum, Coconut fruit juice and Witch hazel are the two ingredients accompanying EGF. The product is mostly used for skin repair, anti-aging, and the healing of scars.

Witch hazel is a natural astringent and is mostly used to help get rid of damages, as well as to reduce inflammation.

Acne may be red, swelling, and just painfully tight. By using products, containing Witch hazel, the inflammation is reduced. Then the acne might be dried out.

Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, Witch hazel in this serum may reduce the puffiness and discoloration around your eyes. The skin surrounding your eyes may brighten. This leads to a better confidence.

Aside from Witch hazel, Coconut fruit juice is also an important ingredient in this serum. Coconut fruit juice is a rich source of Vitamin C. This vitamin is famous for its antioxidant effect.

As an antioxidant, it may boost collagen production in the fibroblasts. Collagen is the protein mostly responsible for the firmness and elasticity of your skin.

It may also protect you from the sun's harsh rays, and hence hyperpigmentation is reduced.

EGF or epidermal growth factor is the star of this product.

The bioactive protein EGF may accelerate the growth of your epidermal cells and in return speed up cell renewal and wound healing.

Because your cells are regenerated, the repairs that your skin needs is speeded up. These repairs include wounds and scars which are mostly left by acne.

Aside from cells regeneration, EGF also stimulates collagen production and together collagen and EGF moves too quickly repair and even out bumps, swellings, wounds, and scars of the skin.

What we liked about this serum was that the skin absorbed it quickly. The serum was lightweight as well and we didn't feel greasy or heavy after applying it.

Number four is a serum that uses Retinol, Hyaluronic acid, and Jojoba oil in its quest to serve as an anti-aging and acne treatment.

Retinol is a type of Vitamin A that may affect gene expression in ways that it boosts collagen production, smooths the skin, and evens out pigmentation.

Since Retinol boosts collagen production, skin is tightened and smoothed. Fine lines and wrinkles may be less visible because the collagen also acts as a filler in the gaps between these lines.

As Retinol may also cause regular skin turnovers and may even cause some mild peeling more of as a side-effect, dead skin cells are removed from the epidermis.

These dead skin cells are replaced with a new layer of smooth, even, and blemish free skin.

Retinol may also unclog pores and with that in mind, existing acne may be treated as well as future breakouts are prevented.

The Jojoba oil in this serum may treat your acne as well since it has anti-inflammatory properties that reduce the swelling and redness.

Aside from acne, Jojoba oil is a good moisturizer since it is an emollient.

Emollients are substances that lock-in moisture so that your cells are regularly hydrated. Because of these, emollients are best paired with humectants.

Luckily, another ingredient in this product is a humectant. Hyaluronic acid may absorb up to 1000 mL of moisture per gram.

Although the serum is of a thicker consistency, our skins absorbed it fairly quickly. The thick consistency was also easier to apply and another plus would be that it did not leave us feeling greasy.

The last product on our list also uses the EGF technology. It may be helpful for reducing the signs of aging. Furthermore, it may also remove acne scars and promote a healthier skin.

With ingredients such as Caprooyl Tetrapeptide-3 and Coconut fruit juice, this serum activates skin repair. This can result in a glowing and blemish-free skin.

Caprooyl Tetrapeptide-3, also known as ChroNOline, is a peptide that stimulates the production of both collagen and laminin 5.

By now you know what collagen can do for your aging skin, but laminin 5 may be something new.

Laminins, in general, are proteins that are responsible for the structure of your cells and organs. Laminin 5 is a link between the epidermal basal cells and the papillary dermis.

In simple words, Laminin 5 may enhance the recovery of damaged skin.

Thus, wounds and scars heal and fade faster if Laminin 5 production is boosted.

EGF technology works similarly to ChroNoline, but it mostly focuses on the collagen production as well as skin renewal.

The cells that heal wounds and diminish the formation of acne scars are proliferated and the EGF in this serum is responsible for that.

The Coconut fruit juice contains fatty acids that may not only moisture the skin, but also assist to skin’s radiant looks.

When the lipid barrier strength of the cells is improved, the skin is reconditioned. With the help of a healthier blood circulation and the growth of new cells, skin as a whole may be better protected.

This serum was on the thinner side consistency-wise, but still, it went on well and was mostly lightweight. It also dried fairly quickly and that helped.

You may choose to apply this serum before putting makeup on.
