Hi Mehul..It depends what type of scars u have..If they are depressed scars none of the creams are gona help.If they are pigmented scars then lightening agents will help.Any cream with glycolic acid upto 10% may help for blemishes and pigmented scars.You can apply every night but then please dont forget to use susncreens and take good sun protection.Thanks

Depends on the type of scar. Undergo laser fraxel rf resurfacing therapy. Otherwise, few creams also available. Contact me by direct online consultation for treatment by sending photos.
