I suffered from severe acne, but I recently got off accutane which basically cleared everything up. But now I am left with scars on my cheeks. They look like little craters. There are a lot of them and I want to have really smooth, clear skin! How do I get rid of them? Please give me home remedies and type of medicines I can buy over the counter. Thanks in advance!

Make your own face mask: Mix one tablespoon of sour cream with one tablespoon of oatmeal and yogurt, then add a few drops of lemon juice. Apply the mixture on your acne scars and leave it there for about 10 minutes. Thoroughly rinse it off and pat it dry.
Rub them with ice cubes: Lots of people use ice cubes to get rid of their acne scars at home. Wrap an ice cube in a piece of cloth and rub it on affected areas for 10 to 15 minutes every day. This should lessen the inflammation on your skin, making it look smoother.
Rose water and sandalwood: Make a paste of rose water and sandalwood and gently apply it on your acne scars. Leave the paste on your skin overnight then wash it with cold water the next morning. Do this regularly together with other natural treatments for acne scars to get rid of the scars as quickly as possible.
Use honey: Honey is a sweet substance that brightens up your day but it can also brighten up your face. Massage honey on affected parts of your skin or take it orally to reduce your acne scars and make your skin look younger.
Heal them with olive oil: Olive oil is truly a miracle substance. It does not only make your food taste better, it also improves the condition of your skin and reduces your acne scars. Massage the oil on affected parts of your skin every day. It has moisturizing properties that soften the texture of your skin and reduce the prominence of your acne scars.

Apply Aloe vera gel or juice: Aloe vera gel or juice helps get rid of acne scars and makes your facial skin healthier. There are many brands of aloe vera gel or juice available on the market today. Read product reviews of each brand on the Internet to find out which one is the best. Read the instructions on the label carefully before applying on affected areas of your skin
Load up on lemon juice: Lemon juice is a kind of citric acid that’s very effective in reducing or getting rid of acne scars. Drink several glasses of lemon juice each day to help your dead skin cells shed faster. New skin cells will also grow healthier and add elasticity to your skin if you load up on lemon juice
Maintain a balanced and nutritious diet: You can’t simply get rid of acne scars by applying natural substances on your skin. A large part of the healing process consists of maintaining a balanced and nutritious diet that aids in the growth of new, healthy skin. Also, eating a healthy diet gives you the essential nutrients that you need to fight against infections and other types of diseases that might complicate your acne scars. Make sure to include tofu, chicken, soy, and fish in your diet as these foods are rich in protein which aids in the healing of your skin.
My wife had blemishes and scar from her acne outbreak and by using Acne Treatment by Dermology she was able to overcome these.

To get rid of your acne scars, you can mix a small amount of lime juice and rose water and apply it topically to the affected areas twice per day that that will help to reduce the pigmentation.
Hi, the best way to get rid of acne scars is to exfoliate and use stable Vitamin C. When you remove the dead skin, the skin is prompted to make new baby cells to replace it. The vitamin c enables the body to make collagen. You have to be diligent but over time they will minimize.
I don’t know any over the counter products but there is UP at http://www.upskinproducts.com.
They sell both the exfoliator and vitamin c and it is really natural.
Cheers.
