Hi.
Most acne scarring is superficial and will fade on its own within a year. There are some good products available to speed up this healing time.
I recommend Clinique's Even Better Skin Tone Corrector, which fades post-acne marks and hyperpigmentation. A cheaper option is Bio-oil.
Very stubborn acne scars can be improved by a chemical skin peel, look for a skin clinic in your area.
Eloise.
