There are ways to prevent them but getting rid of them is harder.
Diluted turmeric oil does work well on existing acne. 50:50 or more dilute in squalane is good. Squalane is a very thin non-greasy oil so it works nicely for acne. Any other oil could work ok for diluting too, though it won't be as thin. I'm sure multiple other essential oils also work. Tea tree oil is also popular. But turmeric oil seems better than most including tea tree oil. For prevention fish oil, whole seeds, and good nutrition in general, such as the foods in my first sig link. Short term fish oil can make acne a little worse though. Plus washing with soap and water of course, and benzyl peroxide. Repeated peroxide may slow healing and so increase risk of scars though. Moisturizing and fresh aloe may speed healing and reduce scars.
Once you have a scar there's not too much you can do yourself AFAIK. You may need dermatologist treatments that basically burn off layers of skin chemically or with lasers. A weaker form of chemical treatment is glycolic acid. That you can do yourself, but I'm not sure how its effectiveness compares to the professional treatments.
