Default Good cream

Looking for a good cream to help resurface my skin. I have a few acne scars and uneven tone. Would love a cream that would even everything out. Any suggestions? I have heard the Oil of Olay actually had a pretty good product. Anyone try that one?

If you are talking about the dermabrasion and peel kit. I've tried it and don't care for that one.

Right now I am trying acne free acne treatment.... so far I like it better. They also have a scar treatment set.

I use Oil of Olay for everything - day cream, night cream, body wash. I haven't tried the dermabrasion kit though. I would be nervous doing something like that myself. I would suggest seeing a dermatoligist first and then maybe getting a facial at a spa.

I think it was Oil of Olay regenerist not the dermabrasion. I think if i did dermabrasion I would do it at a professional place. I have seen my dermatologist. I have Retin A micro and an acne cream. I am just looking for a cream with exfoliating properties like fruit acids. Just one of those resurface type creams. they help minimize scaring and help with fine lines and wrinkles.

Gotcha! Then I would recommend Noxema's face wash.

I have fairly sensitive skin and this works pretty well for me.

I've tried everything!

Olay has this, too: http://www.olay.com/cgi-bin/newusqui...=us10122005_02 It's pretty good.

Oh, there's this other product I've tried, too. But I can't remember the brand. I think possibly neutrogena. It's an acne scar diminishing mask with mushroom protein extracts or something like that. That was pretty smoothing--nonirritating.

I've also done the Loreal microdermabrasion, but it was kind of harsh.

ETA: Ok, yes, here's the neutrogena mask: http://www.neutrogena.com/advancedso...t_acnepeel.asp

I realized I needed a night cream (my Olay anti-wrinkle/anti-blemish was too drying) so I checked this out and the label promised everything I needed. And, it delivered! In ONE NIGHT my skin turned from irritated to flawless! <--that's my glowing skin

Thanks for the replies. I got the Oil of Olay regenerist serum. The bottle says that it helps regerate your skin's appearance without harsh chemical peels or cosmetic surgery. Sound like what I want, so I am keeping my fingers crossed that it makes a difference.
