| I bought acne fade peel from Neutrogena and it has really helped my spots. It is also for acne prone skin so it may help you. |

| I heard AHA can do that. I'm going to try MD Formulations Facial Lotion(contains 12% glycolic acid), maybe IS CLINICAL SUPER SERUM is another good choice. |

| I would go for a combination of exfoliation and vitamin C serum. I noticed in the past that using Dermalogica Microfoliant (this has salicylic acid, exfoliating enzymes and some skin brightening ingredients) and a vitamin C serum did cut down the time that it took for post-acne marks to disappear. |

I agree with Mabsy... Exfoliation and vit C serum....
My derm said the exfoliation CAN HELP getting rid of these scars(I have a couple). But you know... for really deep scars.... you might have to get some professional treatment, ie microderm.
Some of my scars, I have had since I was in high school (I guess I can classify them as deep scars?), and exfoliation just does not get rid of them. |

| I agree with Mabsy, Dermalogica Microfoliant is a very good solution. |

| Roadtonowhere, I never used epidermx or dr brandt microderm, so I can't comment on that. I like Dermalogica Microfoliant, but I use it onece in two weeks, because it is too abrasive for my skin. |

| Also look at internal supplements of Zinc, fish oils and a B Complex to help speed up the body's own natural healing process. |
