If you have some areas of dry skin, avoid harsh soaps and face washes during winter. Clean your skin with a mild Cleanser.
As for your acne scars, it would be better to get them evaluated with a dermatologist for the best treatments.
Scars usually cannot be treated with creams, however creams may help to reduce the post-acne pigmentation.
Kindly consult a Dermatologist for your best treatment options.

The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated. Please send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice.
