HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Yes, this product should help to reduce your acne. It contains adapalene which is a retinoid.
Use nightly on the areas of your face that are affected. It may take a few weeks for maximum effect to be seen.
It would help to prevent further breakouts though may not necessarily help with the scars already present.
I hope this helps
