It may. Bio Oil ($22) is an oil that is able to fade dark spots, scars, and acne marks- and it reduces the look of wrinkles, but it will take may months to completely, or even noticeably reduce any of these.
I wouldn't recommend Bio Oil because it contains Mineral Oil, which, for many, can cause breakouts and clog pores. Others recommended other topical "treatments" such as Vitamin E and Vaseline, but neither of these actually are proven to work.
The only proven treatments to signifigantly reduce acne marks are Chemical Peels, Micro/Dermabrasion, and Laser Resurfacing Surgery. These treatments show more results than Bio Oil, because they are induce the healing process of the body. They all renew the skin's surface, and force the body to heal itself, creating new and nicer looking skin. All of these treatments are obviouslly expensive (ranging from $100-$1000) but they are the only real treatment for acne marks.
Hope this helps hun!

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.
The secret is never to touch the spots

Yes, eventually. It takes a couple of years for scars to fade though even with bio oil. Rosehip oil and high tocopherol vitamin e oil also help.

Dermalmd Scar Serum highly effective product, the main thing to mention is consistency. If not consistent this will not produce miracles
