You can apply aloe vera juice/gel from its leaf (fresh, not from readymade gels available in market) on your face. Remove skin of an aloe vera leaf. Take/scoop out gel. Apply this gel to your face skin. Wash with plain water after an hour.

Depends on the type of scar/spot you have. If its a flat dark spot/scar, it may resolve. However, if its a depressed scar, its unlikely to show much improvement. Adapalene will definitely prevent further breakouts and scar formation. You'll need to apply religiously for atleast 2-3 months to see difference.
