Are there home remedies to get rid of acne scars?

Acne Scar

Is there anything I can do at home to help get rid of and prevent acne scars? I want to get rid of them but don't have the funds to go and get some super drug or cream (if one even exists).

The best way to prevent acne scars is to get the offending acne under control and to avoid picking any/all acne lesions (which leads to further inflammation, collagen breakdown, and scarring). Once acne scars are evident, there is no topical cream or oral medication to reverse them. The best treatment options are offered through dermatologists who can perform laser treatments or filler injections to smooth the skin's surface.
