I still have some pimples & little acne on my face but, I want the scars that I have now from previous acne gone, they're not really deep but, it bothers me. Are there any creams, home treatments, or something that really works? I don't have the time or money to have it removed by an doctor or skin specialist.

Try using Vitamin E cream or a lotion with Vitamin E to get rid of the scars has Vitamin E is suppose to heal damage skin cells. Also put a little lemon juice on the scars for about 15 minutes then rinse. Lemons are natures bleach and will help lighten the scars. Here is a small list of foods that help prevent acne:
Carrots
Butternut squash
Savoy cabbage
Tomato paste
Mango
Cantaloupe
Curly kale
Red bell pepper
Chile peppers
Swiss chard
Spinach
Sweet potato
Collard greens

Depends on the scar. If you have deep scars then you can do a laser treatment like Fraxel which will 'damage' your skin to make it grow and regenerate. If they are very superficial scars and only ont he surface then you can use a AHA or glycolic peel, or a light treatment where they shine a light over you face and then the top layer of your skin will come off, or you can use other laser treatments like Medlite which will encourage cell turnover for superficial acne scars. I have deep acne scars and even though you are recommended 5 sessions of Fraxel, I had one session and use an AHA cream, and my scars are become much more shallow and my pores have shrunk considerably. I highly recommend it for deep acne scars.

It depends on how deep the acne scars are. Dermabrassion may help those tiny scars, but beware, my dermatologist did made my face WORSE by this and created more scars. The deep ones need a FILLER, which plump up the skin so the scar is flat. There are tons of different kinds of fillers out there so check them out and find a good dermatologist even if it cost more. I know how it feels to have scars, I am always self-conscious but other people hardly notice them. We seem to be harder on ourselves than others. Hope this helps!

Neutrogena makes an awesome facial gel. It's called Acne Mark Fading Peel or something like that. It works amazingly well at clearing up the last pimples and evening out your skin tone.

I am not a doctor nor a specialist but this may help:
1) rinse your face as soon as you wake up, after you come home from outside
and before you sleep.
2) eat a lot of apples( i do not know how but that really helped me)
3) drink a lot of water..A LOT
4) exercise to sweat and get dirt off your face
Give it a try, i am sure it will work. It worked for me

Retin A. Works the best, but you need an Rx and you can't take it if you are a pregnant female it will cause birth defects.
