Do fade creams usually work for acne scars?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Maybe a little: If your scars are dark (hyperpigmentation) then bleaching creams may have some effect on the color. They will not affect scars that are indented ("ice pick" scars) or raised or scars that are lighter than the surrounding skin. The best treatments for acne scars are laser resurfacing, peels, micro needling, PRP, needle subcision and filling with HA fillers.
