I'm not interested in the acne treatments, those things are abundant. I'm talking about the small holes left behind the acne as in the picture I sent.

Acne scarring involves postinflammatory color changes, seen after inflammatory acne lesions have recently healed. These changes include:
- Postinflammatory erythema – pink or purple flat patches
- Postinflammatory pigmentation – brown marks (pigmentation), seen in people who tan easily
- Postinflammatory hypopigmentation – white marks
Improvement of those color changes requires time (up to a few months for complete resolution). Your scars are still mild and most likely will heal with time. So you are advised to ensure prevention of future scarring, which is the best thing to start with in your case. Vigorous acne treatment (especially with tretinoin), applying oil-free sunscreen, and NOT picking at your skin are of critical importance.
Scars that persist for longer periods of time or are disfiguring need more aggressive interventions, like dermabrasion ( a surgical procedure that uses a power-driven hand device which has an abrasive end piece. It is used by moving it gently over the surface of the scar causing the topmost layers of the skin to wear off) Laser resurfacing ( like pulsed dye laser (PDL) and intense pulsed light (IPL) ) and dermal filler injections (collagen, hyaluronic acid etc).
