Are you referring to acne scars?

If you are, there is a product out there called Mederma. Its sold over the counter and its used to lighten scars, burns, etc... Its also used to lighten acne scars. I dont know how effective it is though because I never tried it but it might be worth looking into.

mine arent really scars, unless im seeing them wrong. they arent dug into my face. there more like red blemishes that appear after i have a pimple. there very annoying. Any advice? will mederma work on these to

They are but you can use them on your face also.... Not sure what Copper peptides do but Retin-A acts as a chemical peel which should help those red acne marks fade faster.

You can try a Alpha Hydroxy Acid(AHA) or Salactic acid to help exfoliate the skin quicker.

Copper Peptides are one of the best things you can use for you skin, esp. in regards to healing.

If the marks are red use these things above^.
If the marks have been their over 1 year and have a brownish tone, then you will prolly need to use a bleaching agent of some sort like Mederma.

Yeah those marks are annoying as they stay on your face for ages after the original pimple has disappeared.

The ideas the other guys suggested will help them disappear faster, but now I am just trying to prevent any spots appearing in the first place. I am currently using Dalacin T solution which is a topical antibiotic. However you need a prescription or to buy it from an online pharmacy, but its not expensive, one bottle lasts ages and it works much better than more expensive over the counter products.
