Hi! Mild pitted acne scars can be improved with consistent use of topical retinoids and skin-repair serums. You can start with:
Tretinoin 0.025% cream – apply a very small amount at night, 3–4 times/week initially.
Vitamin C serum (10–15%) – apply in the morning before sunscreen.
Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50) daily — this is mandatory to prevent further damage.
For faster results, in-clinic procedures like microneedling with PRP, chemical peels, or fractional laser can visibly smoothen the scars in a few sessions.
Since the right plan depends on your exact skin type and scar depth, I’ll need to see your skin photos to guide you better and personalize the treatment.
You can reach me directly on WhatsApp at nine three two six zero two zero five nine six for a private consultation and customized regimen.
