Products that can remove my acne scarring ?

I’ve had my acne scarring for quite a long time since when I was a teenager and had cystic acne. Now my face has cleared but I still have some deep scarring. Some have lightened up after years of wearing sunscreen and trying out products but nothing has really completely made it disappear. Any good acne scarring products that really work ?

The combo which works for me is Vitamin C + AHA! Skin usually fade scars with time, though some deep scarring may require laser. Based on my understanding, chemical peeling is another treatment for scarring as it speeds up the skin cycle. However, chemical peeling in clinics are more intense for sensitive skin, so exfoliating serum is a good gentle alternative. Together with Vitamin C (or any brightening agent of your choice), the effectiveness is high to fade acne scars. The strongest ingredient is hydroquinone which is usually prescribed by dermatologist. Its not suitable to be used long term, though it's claimed to be the most efficient ingredient for scars. Do note that, some countries banned hydroquinone products, so it may not be available.

Scarring can lighten with time, but chemical peels (or acid based face washes, scrubs, or toners), Vitamin C, and retinoids can be beneficial. Another ingredient that can be helpful in helping acne heal better and thus help with scarring is licorice. Just be careful not to over do it. I don’t mix Vitamin C and other acids or a Retinoid, but plenty of people can do one in the AM and one in the PM. Listen to your skin. Hopefully these product suggestions are helpful.
