Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic This cream is a prescription product and should never be used on a Relative s Or a Friend s casual advice. The cream is strictly not meant for acne Or acne scars. This cream can cause skin irritation and redness because the ingredients present in this cream particularly hydroquinone and tretinoin are skin irritants. Moreover regular use of this cream may rather cause more acne because of the steroid present in this cream, Mometasone furoate. If I was the treating doctor I would have asked you to use either clindamycin or Benzoyl peroxide for acne. Oral antibiotics like Azithromycin Or Doxycycline may also be started of your acne is inflammatory. Acne marks can be improved with Kojic acid Or azaleic acid based cream. Chemical peeling sessions may also prove to be beneficial for both acne and acne marks. I would suggest that you visit a specialist in your region. Your dermatologist will assess the severity of your acne and acne marks and advice accordingly. Regards
