HI,
welcome to HCM.
"Pitting scar on your face made you worried..."
Any cream or gel will do little on your scar mark. You better try microdermabrasion, a procedure can performed only by dermatologist, for your face.
Please go to a dermatosurgery/ skin care center and choose perfect procedure for your face.
Visit/ consult dermatologist for taking further step.
Regards,
