Mederma really made my skin peel.

Try a good body scrub (sea salt/sugar) and soak in epsom salt.

use vitamin e on it and put the mederma on it at night maybe. that way you don't have to worry about putting the make up over it.

Using face masks helps me, I use aspirin and the QH Mint julep together. Also cocoa butter is supposed to lighten scars.

Fraxel Laser treatments and microdermabrasion are supposed to work great on Acne scars......but that does not come cheap and you did not mention your budget. Are you talking just a couple of scars or a lot??

I had really bad acne scars and started using Philosophy products. The best product for me was their microdermabrasion product (I can't remember what it's called). It was super gentle and made my skin feel great. After a few months of consistent use, I really did notice a BIG difference.

if you can afford it, laser treatments with a good dermatologist will give you amazing results. I did about a year with (I think) the gentlelase (or something like that), and it changed my face radically.

I used to have horrible, dark, scarred skin all over my face. and a few weeks ago this girl told me she thought I was about 5 years younger than I am, and said "it must be because you have such amazing skin, so fresh!" I almost DIED in my tracks when she said that.

I am trying Creme la Mer - it worked wonders on a burn I had on my hand but seems to be slightly slower on the face

Its pretty expensive though - maybe try Bio Oil first
