Good for: When it's too late to stop yourself from picking
If you really couldn't help yourself from popping (no judgment) and you do end up with an acne scar, you need to fight it when it's fresh. Acne scar treatment begins with a mild exfoliant to help get rid of the scarred skin cells. The ingredients to look for: rice extract, salicylic acid or lactic acid. These will help skin cells turn over quickly, bringing fresh new skin to the surface.
Just make sure you don't go nuts with the exfoliating -- too much can irritate your skin and cause more pimples, the things you are trying to avoid in the first place.
We recommend: Bioelements Amino Mask, $59, Tatcha Polished Gentle Rice Enzyme Powder, $65, or CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser, $12.99.

Didn't see anything about chemical peels. Anyone have any knowledge about whether or not those can help acne scars? Thanks!

Consuming a great daily vitamin, along with strong C and B Vitamin supplements can have a great effect on your skin. So can drinking water--lots and lots of it. It plumps tissue and helps scarring to be minimized.

If only it was that easy, my skin sees to be immune to any scar removing remedy.
