You can fade acne scars is by using over-the-counter bleaching creams containing ingredients such as kojic acid, hydroquinone, licorice extract, bearberry or azelaic acid. Glycolic acid creams can also improve the appearance of acne scars. You will find the creams at a pharmacy in the skin care aisle. If you're not sure which cream to buy, ask a pharmacist to recommend one for you. But the most effective way to remove scars is by chemical peels, microdermabrasion or laser treatments, which is done by dermatologists. If you don't see any improvement from these over-the-counter products after 1-3 months, please consult a dermatologist for a proper treatment option.
Depending on how deep the scars are any over the counter stuff won't work if the scars are too deep to contend with in the first place.
If you are going to use bleaching creams, please do not apply it all over the face but just on the spot, perhaps with a cotton bud to target that specific area.
Vitamin E oil is said to be a great scar healer too!
It also depends how deep the scar is. So if you do not see an improvement in lets say about 3-4 months? Then you would probably need to see a dermatologist. :)
Another option you have is laser scar removal. Here is an article I hope you find useful.
