creams usually don't help in acne scarring. you can look at the option of dermaroller for 4-6 sessions which can give you a significant improvement.. or milder options like peels which would help you achieve a better texture. which city are you based at?

Hi!,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum,
Creams are not going to help you at all.There are only two things which can help you in this ..one is either a DERMAROLLER ,which is nothing but a small instrument with tiny needles on it.This rolled over the skin to cause minimum bleeding ,which in turn help to reduce scars.This requires multiple sessions ,and is a very simple OPD procedure.The second techn is a LASER like a fractional co2 laser or er:yag laser which can cause very minute ablations and help you to give a better and quicker result.If your pits are large then you can also go for some surgical procedure like subscision which is done with help of a minute needle .Also some doctors do punch flotation or punch excision and replacement depending upon the depth of the scars. You can select any of these procedures depending upon the availably at your place .Kindly let me know where you belong to so that i can guide you to a good clinic.
take care,
Dr.chawda
