Get rid of Acne scars and little bumps created because of it on skin?
Scars are actually little holes or pits that acne leaves behind (especially if you pick at your pimples). To even out the surface of your skin and makes those scars (the holes) look less visible.......you can look into microdermabrasion and peel sessions or laser. A derm can even combine peels with microderm for a more aggressive treatment. I believe it's best to consult a dermatologist who can discuss options/treatments/side-effects/cost with you. You can try natural remedies.....but they take way too long. Products and treatments prescribed by a derm can better penetrate deeper into layers of your skin whereas commercial products only superficially penetrate the skin.

Ahhh..i see thanks a lot...can you also tell me some natural remedies as well...I can use those until i find a good dermatologist who doesn't rip me off.

Vitamins A, C, and E are very important for the skin and are often found in lotions and creams...in greater concentrations in those obtained from the Derm. Here's a website that you can look at.
Vit C helps to produce collage which can help to fill up the scars and is responsible for providing firmness to the face. Massaging to increase blood flow and healing for the more newer/fresher scars is also a suggestion I've read.........and learned about from a nurse who knows someone who works with a plastic surgeon. Now.......be careful with the massaging especially if the pimple hasn't gone away or if the skin is irritated/sensitive/inflamed.......as it could make it worse.

I can't see the link? :o - I have chewable vitamin C tablets? I take vitamin E but not sure about A and haven't been taking the C ones either...

Those 'pock-marks' don't go away easily teelo, you'll need a few sessions of microderm and peels to see results.. look into laser resurfacing if it really bothers you. Saffron oil (applied directly) is said to lighten pigmentation and marks left by acne.
