Safe home remedies: The following agents can be used at home for the amelioration of acne scarring: apple cider vinegar, baking soda, cucumbers, ice, lemon juice, and olive oil. Each of these agents may be applied to the affected areas for ~15 minutes, to be followed by rinsing with tap water. Medical intervention would possibly include: dermabrasion, laser therapy, scar revision, and tissue fillers.

Can't be done: Depressed scars can only be managed by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon with a laser, microsurgery or filler. Hyperpigmented scars may respond to a hydroquinone bleach but you risk disfiguring yourself. Red marks where lesions are healing can't be made to fade and they need to be red because they're new vessels promoting healing. Best is to treat your acne aggressively & prevent new lesions.
