Do you advise on using bio oil or olive oil to heal a slightly depressed red acne scar? im on absorica (accutane) 20mg 2x/day

Won't work: In spite of what you've read on entertainment websites, topical oils won't touch acne scars. I'm glad you're finally getting proper treatment. If you choose to have the scar treated eventually, a dermatologist can use a filler, microsurgery, dermabrasion, or an injection. Good luck.
