There are bleaching creams like concha nacar or something like that or you can also try a teaspoon of honey mixed with a teaspoon of nutmeg. Rinse it off after 20 min. with cool water. Do this twice a week and you should see a difference within a couple of weeks. To help avoid getting pimples to begin with try changing your pillow case at least 2 x's a week since you figure you spend 6 to 8 hours rubbing your face on the pillow case and dead skin and other residue containing bacteria build up on the material and are happy to cause your skin problems. Vitamin e is also good and aloe vera. Lemon juice is also good. I have been told that onion juice mixed with vineger rubbed on the spots works to but the smell I dont think I could handle. My mother says buttermilk compresses for 20 min. twice a day does the trick because of the lactic acid found in milk products . Hope one of these things helps.

Let me tell you something. I am 25 yrs old and I had pimples since I was 19 yrs old. I always had trouble getting rid of them and the dark spots after them. I have tried everything to get rid of them and the dark spots. I even tried Proactive. If you find something that works let me know. Good Luck!!!!

Use a scrub or microderm to get rid of those. Try Philosopgy Vitamin C microderm process. It does a lot for your skin, including preventing your skin from acne.

Look for fade cream type products that have hydroquinone. You have to faithfully apply it everyday and it can cause drying so make sure it's only on the spots. Other than that, time alone usually fades them.

I use cocoa butter, Not the cream or lotion, but the one that looks like a big chapstick. It's pure cocoa butter and it helps to fade away spots. I use it under my eyes as well to fade away my dark under eye circles.
