If you have red and purple/grey marks:
Step 1: Dab on your color corrector with either your finger or a brush and blend well.
Step 2: Pat on a concealer that matches your skin tone, making sure to blend the edges out well (so you don't just have a dot of concealer on your face).
Step 3: Finish with either your regular foundation or a dusting of translucent powder to set your concealer.
If you have concave scarring:
Step 1: Apply a primer to your face to smooth the surface.
Step 2: Apply concealer that's one shade lighter than your skin tone to the depressed area of skin, making sure to blend well.
Step 3: Finish with your regular foundation or a dusting of translucent powder to set.
One last note from Stapleton: "Always remember, textured skin [skin with concave scarring or red marks] looks better matte. It hides imperfections. Think about painting a wall -- high gloss shows off imperfections, while a matte finish will make them less noticeable."
So hold off on the dewy look (for now), and soon you'll have the clear skin capable of that trendy glow.

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.
