Use a scrub to remove damged skin layers. Also a mask of green clay is great for that.

I guess it depends on the type. Are they actually indented acne scars or just red marks left behind from acne? If they are kind of indented, I really don't think any creams or anything like that work. I've even seen doctors for them, so I think you would need to ask a dermatologist. I've tried lasers even for mine and didn't have a great result. The only thing that has worked is injectable fillers, which is super expensive and not even permanent. And my scars aren't even that bad! I mean I hate to say it but if these indented type scars could just be removed with a cream or product, no one would have any! Now if you are talking just red marks left from acne, you can use stuff to fade them faster. I think exfoliation would help too. I would try a product made specifically for this and I think proactiv may have one.

I agree with maggie it depends on the type of scarring - if they are red or purple colored they were probably the result of cystic acne n will take a long time to go away but there are many lightening creams specifically for acne scars out there - like some people use benzoyl peroxide others find a post acne/blemish cream or lotion - like clinique has one and so does proactiv - otherwise I hear lemon is a good lightening agent too but haven't tried it myself - otherwise the best way to get rid of newer scars is regular exfoliation with glycolic acid or a peel 2-3 times a week

Clinique has a spot remover and I wasnt at all impressed. Possibly you would see results after having used it for months but the bottle is small and expensive.
