They don't seem inflamed enough to leave an indented scar, so you're lucky..other then that time and some exfoliation would pretty much do the trick!

yep use some AHA products, or something like mandelic acid once a day and do a peel once a week or so, like a mild lactic acid peel 20%

agree with the other poster, you are lucky the scarring isn't bad, it's just color

congrats on getting the acne under control, now for the color, you'll get there!

What do you think about the acne.org's AHA? Or should i try something different? If so, where can i get it?

I haven't tried the acne.org one, but reviews are positive...I'm not a fan of the yellow, that keeps me away, but again reviews are generally positive

I use the alpha hydrox enhanced lotion, from Amazon...cheap and effective for me
