A member asked:
I noticed that the clean start face wash gets rid of your pimples but does it also work for acne scars?

No: Pimples and acne scars are 2 distinctly different things. Pimples are a result of clogged pores and bacteria. They respond well to face washes and topical creams whereas acne scar are due to prolonged inflammation of the dermis due to acne that was improperly treated or not treated at all.
