Products to reduce scaring from acne?

I don't have lots of scaring, just some that sort of bothers me so I was just wondering if there are any products that can get rid of or reduce scaring from acne.

    They usually take some time to fade, like a couple of weeks to a few months usually. Make sure you moisturize and exfoliate gently 2 to 3 times a week. Make sure you wear sunblock too.

    But these products have helped faded them a little bit:

    1. Clinique Acne Solutions Post Blemish Formula $14 (There wasn't that much product in it and I think it lasted about 2 weeks or so.)

    2. I have heard putting lemon juice on dark spots helps lighten them but have never tried this myself.

    3. Josie Maran Argan Oil- This stuff gets great reviews from almost everyone. I tried this for a week or so and didn't think it was a miracle oil like tons of people said but everyone's skin is different so it is worth a try. You can buy a small bottle for $14.

    Also I think exfoliating gently 2-3 times a week helps fade acne scars.

    This is my favorite exfoliator, but there are tons of others that people like:

    Clinique is more expensive but they have great gift with purchases like this one:

    If the pimple marks don't go away after time or if you can afford it, you can go to a dermatologist for microdermabraison or chemical peels to fade them (my dermatologist charges around $150 for 1 and you need around 3-4 depending on the scarring).

    Hope this helps!

    If you genuinely want to put in the past the problem with the acne and at the exact same time adjust all the bad routines on your daily life
