To erase acne scars you should focus on brightening products and exfoliation. Alpha Hydroxy Acids (Glycolic Acid) and Bety Hydroxy Acids (Salliylic Acid) help exfoliate the outer and deeper layers of the skin. And over time that will reduce the look of the acne scars. DDF and Clarins sells great brighening products that can erase the effects of scars.
Remember two things. One, it takes time since you are exfoliating and brighening the treated area. Also over time your skin will dramaticly improve from chemical exfoliation. Just use about 6% Glycolic Acid and 1% or less Sallycilic Acid. Although I recommend Glycolic between the two. And the second thing is that more natural products are easier to be processed by your skin, so look for natural or organic formulas. Clarins offers natural formulas with plant extracts. But DDF has extremely effective prodcuts.

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.
In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.
Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.
In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.
If you would like to learn how to treat your acne permanently and regain your health and wellbeing, without drugs, without typical acne treatments, and without any side effects, then this will be the most important letter you will ever read.

If your acne is serious enough to cause scarring, then you should ideally see a dermatologist, as the most effective options are only available with a prescription. In any case, you probably need what's referred to as "combination therapy" to effectively treat it -- to include a wash/cleanser, a treatment lotion, and possibly a toner. Several over-the-counter kits are available: Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Control Kit, Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Acne Therapy, and University Medical's acne kits. Select a kit that includes a comprehensive regimen to follow and go with that if you don't go to the doctor and see which one works best for you. You will have to give it two weeks to see if it's going to work really well, but you should ideally start seeing initial results within a few days.

Natural Homemade remedies from your kitchen cabinet.
Take a little each of rice, poppy-seeds & almonds and grind to a fine powder and mix it with 2 tablespoons of curd and apply to your face. Allow it to dry for 10 minutes and then wash it off and see your skin glow and the pimple marks fade away slowly.
Apply a paste made out of ground mint leaves on the pimples and leave overnight. This will ease the pimples and clear other blemishes also.......red more----

Well Ive heard if you use facial scrubs daily and moisturise before bed with an alpha peroxide lotion it'll help out quite a bit over time smooth the surface layers of the skin.

I think you heard wrong. If done by a Plastic Surgeon it works very well. You just have to find the right one.
