Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi,
Acne is a very common and easily treatable skin problem. Use a salicylic acid based face wash and get all your blackheads extracted. Apply adapalene gel in night and benzoyl peroxide gel over acne lesions in morning. This would solve your acne concern to some extent. Book an appointment with dermatologist, so that your skin can be analysed as you might need a course of oral anti acne medicines. To treat scars, one can take sessions of peels or microdermabrasion or dermarollers. All these procedures are dermatologist governed. Amway products might be good but to treat your acne, you need a dermatologist's advise. Take care.
