have you tried any skin peelings?
Ive heard some success stories. You may want to have a dermatoligist do the first one or two just so you know what to do, and what to expect.

Skin resurfacing procedures usually help to get rid of acne scars. You can try microdermabrasion or laser resurfacing

referring to the picture, i don't think those are acne scars. those are still active acne and you have to treat them first and make sure that they're all dried up.

microdermabrasion and skin peelings might just worsen them.

Silicone Plasters

I remember seeing a TV program where these plasters came up. Simply put them on over scar tisue and it sorts the problem out but do know how much it can help with serious scaring.

Does anyone else have any information?

i have scars too. my acne has cleared up, but on my cheeks there is some scarring that is very deep. it just looks like little red marks way under the skin. i also would like to know how to get rid of these, as even though my skin has cleared up, it still looks like i have acne

I used Roaccutane for a spell when I was in my teens as I had really serious acne. I thought I would be scarred for life basically but as the years have rolled on my face has just got better with age. I now have clear skin which is something I never thought I'd have to be honest.

There are basically three ways to really get rid of acne scars: surgery, botox and fillers, and laser treatments. You could also try a dermaroller to promote collagen production but this increases the risk of infection and there's no guarantee that it will actually work.

Use product that contains Lactic acid, it acts as a mild salve to remove dead skin cells. It can help reduce the appearance of scars and smooth out the entire texture of the skin.
