Are These Scars? Will They Go Away?

Let me know if I need to be worried about scarring with this acne. I think I have it under control now, I just need to know if there will be any scarring, how much, and if it will go away over time. Also what can I do to help speed up the process. When I look at my skin I see no indented scars but it has changed colors as you can see in the picture. I had just woke up in this picture and my face was a little dry.

It just looks like hyperpigmentation to me. The quality isn't the best but I wouldn't be surprised if you had a couple of shallow rolling scars. You can do acid peels (lactic, glycolic, etc.) at home to lighten pigmentation and you can use AHA cream, like Dan's AHA+. The cream you can use every night (but start slow) and peels probably twice a week and then you also slowly work up the percentage.

How long do you think it will take before it goes away completely?

You have most hyper pigmentation with perhaps a few very shallow scars. I would get the kit for the Regimen and use both the BP and AHA+ to help control any acne and fade the redness. Both the BP and the AHA will increase cell turnover and fade it faster than with just the AHA+.It could take anywhere from 6 months to a year to completely fade but when it does, any shallow scars you have will look MUCH better without the lingering hyper pigmentation.

Sergio, are your marks red or indented?

It depends on the person - how long does it usually take scars to fade for you? If I get a scar anywhere, it usually takes me a year or more to fade, my skin just sucks like that -_-. You should see a difference in your skin within the first few weeks though, and you'll notice it constantly improving as you continue using it.
