i have only heard that derma and laser and things like that work...
but i think it depends on the type of scars you got from the pimples
i have only heard that mixing mostly lemon and water and drinking that almost all day helps for such scars with vitamins and some olive oil consumption and omega 3...but i think aloe is just good for your skin...
tell me how it is

ive been trying the aloe vera "treatment" for a week now and some of the scars are getting lighter ... but the old ones that have gone darkish are still dark. ill try the lemon water and see if it works

I couldn't afford laser and a friend who used to have moderate acne scars used the dermshed emuscar kit and her skin looks amazing now.

Good luck!

I also have the same problem, I pick at the littlest one, lol, but I find using a face moisturizer that revitalizes skin helps to make them fade a bit, I use one from avon and it really helps, Another good idea if it's your cup of tea is go tanning because that helps the scars blend in!!

I just bought this stuff called Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Scar Serum and I would like to recommend it. The thing is that you're supposed to rub it into the skin 3-4 times a day, but this stuff is very oily and stinky, so I normally apply it to dry skin at night before bed and/or in the morning underneath moisturizer. This in combination with drinking lots of water -- it's so easy to drink lots of water, just do it if you haven't been -- has been lightening my scars over the past month.
