K, so here is what I use to fade acne scars and skin damage. I got the microdermabrasion kit. They are listed to help wrinkles etc, but it was great for resurfacing my skin. I used the oil of olay microdermabrasion and peel (50 buck at costco for 2 complete treatments or like 30 for one treatment at a drugstore). I used that 2 times a day for 3 months as a morning and night skin cleansing ritual (I was doing this for my wedding). I had a pleasant surprise. It cleared my acne, got rid of a lot of sun damage and gave me super soft skin. It sounds counter-intuative, but I also use a mixture of Oil of Olay Anti-Aging lotion with a few drops of Jojoba Oil (I get this from trader joes) at night before I go to bed. It help moisturize my skin, fade skin imperferections and Jojoba oil has been proven to reduce acne (I break out when I dont use the Jojoba oil, it works!). Give it a shot before going to the expensive and harmful acids, etc.

Loreal makes an intensive acne peel that is supposed to fade away acne scars. it costs about $25.
