Active Acne vs Scars: Do you have active acne no as well? The benzoyl peroxide is a good place to start for acne, and especially combined with Retin-a (Tretinoin). The tretinoin will be long term to controll your acne and help you from having even worse acne scarring. Other combo agents can be used during flares, your derm can prescribe. To treat scars, microdermabrasion or fractional laser depending on severity.
