10 Natural At-Home Remedies To Clear Acne Scars

home remedies for acne scars

Acne. Some of our worst enemies and the one thing that everyone will encounter at least once in their lifetime. It’s inevitable, so finding the right cure for it is always at the top of everyone’s list.

Running to the drugstore at every hint of a pimple will certainly run your money dry fast, so check out these natural at-home remedies to clear those dreaded acne scars!

1. Onion Extract

Onion extract has been known to significantly reduce the appearance of scars after only a few weeks of daily use.

How to apply it: Most whole food stores carry onion extract, but if it isn’t readily available, you can make your own. Chop up some raw onions and blend in the blender with a few drops of water until smooth then apply to the face. Leave it on for 10 minutes. Rinse. Then repeat once a week.

How to apply it: Using two parts water and one part baking soda, make a paste and scrub it on the affected area, rinsing thoroughly and gently after a minute.
