i second the vitamin E oil. both internal and external. i saw some oil in the face wash section at CVS the other day. they had a couple of different options. i wonder if any of those "face brightening" products work on scars? i have been using the aveda enbrightenment line for about a month now, and it has reduced the appearance of my purple acne scars. much lower level of scarring, but, worth a shot? maybe there is something comparable in CVS, i think aveeno makes something like it. i am sure the aveda stuff is expensive, i worked in an aveda salon, so i couldn't tell you the retail cost of the aveda line. good luck!
