Hi. Most acne scarring is superficial and will fade on its own. However, if stubborn marks remain after treatment I recommend Clinique's Even Better Skin Tone Corrector, which removed the marks acne leaves behind. Wait until you finish Accutane before using products such as this, as your skin will be sensitized during Accutane therapy.
