Only a dermetologist can remove scars. I don't believe there are any over the counter medications or creams that can remove scars, if any work at all.
There is a more in depth review about removing acne scars at http://www.theknowguide.com/acne-14.html

I used to have horrible acne scars and then I really just thought back to the basics. Vitamin E is always good for scar fading, so I'd suggest getting a oil free lotion with SPF of around 30 with vitamin E. I would also suggest looking into Peels and microdemobrasion to take away the scarred layers of upper skin.

It depends on what type of scarring it is: 'pock mark' like scars (little uneven dents in the skin) from cystic acne or just pigmentation (purple/red/pink spots where a pimple used to be).
Pigmentation will eventually fade over time, but there are both prescription and over the counter creams/gels/etc that can help to speed it up. Try going to a drugstore and asking the pharmacist about fading creams for acne scars. They can either try to find something for you there or recommend you see a derm who can prescribe something.
For the pock mark-like scars, try going to a dermatologist and asking what your options are. There are even laser treatments available that can help to reduce the scarring and a derm will have more information plus references for laser treatment clinics in your area.

Removal of acne scars is a fine and delicate procedure and might just require a combination of procedures which are mentioned below. Do in depth research of the cosmetic surgeon whom you wish to get operated by. Make sure all the questions you have, are answered before you take the final step, such as what is his status in the field he specializes? Judge the results by viewing before and after photographs of previous cases as well as refer the testimonials of previous patients. These and many more queries that you may harbor must be duly solved before you finalize the procedure for your acne scars.

Well since they are scars you can not completely remove them, but you can reduce their appearance with scar reducing products like from AcneFree brand or something
