Hi , please consult me online with pictures with a better resolution of the scar. Creams would not help eliminate the scar. Opting for a fractional laser would be a better option. Using an oil based cream will aggaravate acne and oiliness of the skin.
Health Tips
Use an oil free moisturiser and a water or gel based sunscreen

The cream will not help. Laser therapy will gradually fade away the scars.

Scar isn’t visible clearly.send clear pictures and consult me online for further treatment.moisturiser should be used depending on your skin type.if your doing is oily then using random moisturiser can give acne.also moisturiser will have no role in fading away marks or scars
