For severe acne scars, it's best to check with a dermatologist. Some acne scars are stubborn and hard to fade away or sometimes acne leaves its permanent marks, therefore it's better to avoid breakouts.

Home Remedies for Acne Scars:

Before applying on to the face, first, dilute it to avoid irritation. Mix three tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with one tablespoon of water. Dab a cotton ball in this mixture and apply it to the face. Leave it for 20-30 minutes then wash it off with tepid water.
