I would recommend using Timewise Microdermabrasion Set

and
Timewise Even Complexion Essence

The microdermabrasion is amazing. It made my skin so smooth and normally it would cost anywhere from $60-$600 for one treatment in the salon. I got about 30 applications out of one set. I used that with the Even Complexion Essence, which helped even out my skin tone. My skin has never looked better. I recommend it to my clients that sit in my chair when I am doing their makeup.

Medical microdermabrasion would help. If you've got the cash then laser resurfacing would definitely work. I had Erbium laser resurfacing 6 months ago for some very deep acne pits and they've raised up by 60%. I'm about to have another treatment in December. The Erbium is quite a severe form of laser (you look like Freddie Krueger for a week or so), but there's less aggressive laser treatments for acne you can try. I would recommend going to a dermatologist and/or cosmetic surgeon rather than a beauty salon. Good luck. Living with the scars isn't easy, I know.

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.
The secret is never to touch the spots

Sorry to burst your bubble, but you CANNOT get rid of scars by applying oil. There are some other over the counter medication for scars, but I don't recommend any of them. Talk to a dermetologist. They have a varitey treatments avalible.
There is more information on these types of treatments at: http://www.theknowguide.com/acne-14.html

Do a search for 'Medik8' products. I use 'Red Alert' for Rosacea and it keeps it under control. I'm sure there will be something for acne scars. The 'Red Alert' may even be the most effective for your problem.

Microdermabrasion. See a professional. it's expensive but it saves time and money in the long run. if you really can't afford a professional service, at-home microdermabrasion kits may work also (but they are not as effective).

i think bio oil is the best solution - maybe try just using it at night?
