Good old vitamin e cream (the more basic the better) twice a day and stay out of the sun.
Not really natural but Nuetrogena has a vanish gel and acne spot treatment combo (about 8 bucks at cvs) and although it took a good 6 months i do have lighter scars on face. I use it every day after i wash my face even thoguh i currently have no acne. It’s the best product that ive come across personally. Ive tried the expenive microdermabrasion kits and expensive creams and remedies but that seemed to work the best for me.
Vitamin E is good for reducing scarring. It is a process, so you won’t see results right away, but using it over a period of time should help.
You can also get Aveeno products, like Ultra Calming lotion which is around $30 at a pharmacy but is guaranteed to even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of acne scars in 2 weeks.
Lavender essential oil. It doesn’t take much at all. just a drop would work on the scars there. Make sure it is 100% pure lavender essential oil. You do not want to use fragrance oil.
If you find a slight burning with the lavender, you can add a drop of the oil to a carrier oil like virgin olive oil or grape seed oil. Never use baby or mineral oil as a carrier.
This will not be over night, but you will start to see results in about a week.

Reduce My Acne Scars – 3 Tips
The ingredients you are going to need are lemons, tomatoes, mint. As you can see, all of these are cheap and very easy to get hold of, with most people having these in their kitchen right now.
1. Apply tomato juice to the affected area in the late evening. Leave this solution on your skin overnight and then wash off the residue in the morning. The citric acid and vitamin c in the tomatoes will help keep your skin bacteria free, also helping your skin to rejuvenate.
2. Lemons can be used in the same way, applying the juice to your skin in the late evening, then washing away in the morning with clean warm water. This works in exactly the same way, keeping your skin clean and helping the skin cells to rebuild.
3. Apply fresh mint to your acne scars. This has been shown to be beneficial at reducing the size of them in some people. It is very easy to make a paste, with finely chopped mint and a few drops of water. You can also add the fresh mint to a small drop of tea tree oil, and applying to your scars before taking a bath.
Also Pay Close Attention To This:
drink neem tee daily in the morning.
Here are some natural treatments for pimples :
1. Tea tree oil is a popular home remedy for pimple. It is an essential oil that is diluted and applied topically to pimple lesions.
