Not effectively: If you have deep pockmarks (acne "ice pick" scars), you will not find much improvement from home remedies. Once your acne is under control, these scars can be addressed with a variety of techniques including peels, lasers, dermabrasion, etc. Seek a qualified facial plastic surgeon or dermatologist with experience in this area.

Cover-up. : The best home remedy for acne scars is makeup to cover up the depressed skin "pockmarks". Acne scarring has many different types, sizes, and appearances. Remedies that tighten the skin can help with some, but most medical or surgical treatments have the goal of removing the most prominent scar and smoothing the skin.
