I have red marks left on my face from acne, what's the best way to fade them or get rid of them? Thanks!

(Also I don't mean a makeup fix such as concealer I'm wondering how to get rid of them completely )

Using a toner works well to fade acne marks and discoloration.

Definitely agree with a vitamin C serum. It will help brighten and even skintone and help fight off environmental damage for the future! Great skin investment for sure. Also, you could try a brightening/whitening mask. Two that I'm quite fond of are: Mary Kay's Even Complexion Mask and Mario Badescu's Whitening Mask. Both of them work in the same way to lighten the skin, and are $22 each. They work wonders, and a little goes a long way! Another thing you can do is to make sure to exfoliate and use an spf like Jacqlyn W. stated. Exfoliation is important to help the skin remove dead skin cells that could make acne and acne scarring worse. Over time it will also help fade the appearance of acne scars. If you're prone to acne, I recommend using an AHA/BHA exfoliating cleanser or definitely a Glycolic acid cleanser. Both are relatively gentle on the skin and aren't abrasive like some scrubs can be. SPF is SUPER important as well. You don't want to go without it! It will help to keep the scars from getting more red/darker, and will prevent you from getting any more later on down the road. Plus, using an SPF will help fend off dark spots, wrinkles and any other signs of aging. Who doesn't want that help??!!

I use Paula's choice products for both the vitamin c serum n the 2% BHA exfoliator along with their clear pore normalizing cleanser and the skin balancing moisturizer with SPF - they are having sale the vitamin c is $36 normally it sells for $45 on the Paula's choice website.

I used to have a lot of acne scars like that too. Vitamin e oil can work but it's 'oil' so it could clog your pores.
What I use is apple cider vinegar. Before you put it on your face.
You need to dilute
It because the apple cider vinegar can sting a little so if you can't handle it then but more water than apple cider vinegar.

You use one part water & one part apple cider vinegar.

It smells really bad
but it's worth it.
What I did was put a mask of it before I went to bed. & I saw results.
Just keep using this method & they'll all be gone.
