While not acne related, I've been using KATE SOMERVILLE - D-Scar™ Scar Diminishing Serumon a scar on my face since August and the change has been amazing!  It's not inexpensive, but it greatly exceeded my expectations, and my scar is 90% gone to the point of being unnoticeable once I've put on makeup (and no concealer, just normal makeup!)

There are a variety of products and ingredients that can help with scarring. An AHA with lactic acid, like Sunday Riley's Good Genes, would be a good place to start for exfoliation. This is especially good if you're looking at textural scars. If you’re looking to reduce redness and discolorations, you’ll want to look for products that contain high amounts of L-Ascorbic Acid (vitamin C), niacinamide, or licorice root. I’ve had great luck with T’iam My C Source, which is a vitamin C serum available from Jolse or WIshtrend.

With any products that use these types of active ingredients though you'll want to make sure that you're using a good moisturizer and a sunscreen every day.
