I’ve been using aloe vera gel and some over-the-counter scar creams to fade my acne scars, but do these really work or am I wasting my time?

OTC creams and natural remedies like aloe vera, may soothe the skin or help with PIH to a certain extent, but they have a limited impact on deep scars. In-office treatments are necessary for significant reduction of scars. Topicals can support healing but can’t replace professional interventions. Dermatologists often recommend topical medications in combination with procedural treatments for the best results.
