dark acne scars..help??

I have had acne like most individuals growing up. Whether I get one pimple or 10 pimples, I always develop dark marks once the pimple goes away. I have dark marks on my entire face. I've tried numerous acne medications such as proactive, clean and clear, ambi, and retinol creams prescribed by my derm. I had a chemical peel once but nothings seems to help.

It seems that nothingis strong enough. My acne has become less of an issue, but all the remaining spots are my main concern. MyDerm. told me that the Retionol cream should help by peeling my skin over time which eventually clears of the spots..buuuut it only peels around my chin and forehead and it has left dark blotches on my skin as well from the peeling so in turn it hasn't helped.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to get rid of these dark spots.

Btw, im a 20 year old African American woman.

try this; cost about 50 bucks if u go to vitamin store for best price or go online
buy Pro-biotics enough to take 100 BILLION (not mil) culture counts daily for 2 months, cut to 50 bil x 2 mo, STAY at 25 billion culture counts daily ; WHILE doing all this go back and use the retinoids, skin peel type products (don't go overboard)
drink water only (tap is best) NO SODA
good luck

Cocoa butter is good but there's this thing called BB cream which formula comes from Germany where dermatologists prescribe it to heal laser skin surgery because it has soothing and skin-regenerating properties. Famous South Korean actresses then began using it for beauty purposes and since Asian dramas are huge all over, a craze was born.  creams is suited for all skin types and are targeted to those who have sensitive and acne-prone skin. It has the advantages of both skin care and makeup as it improves the skin's condition and evens out the skin tone while providing coverage for dark spots and other blemishes
