I've been struggling with acne on my face, and a friend recommended benzac 2.5 and adaferin. I'm curious how I should be using both of these. Can you help with some advice?

I've been using Melacare for about a month to try and lighten some burn scars. They seemed to lighten up a bit, but there's still quite a bit of darkness left. I stopped using the cream a week ago, and now it seems like the marks have gotten darker and more noticeable. I'm just a bit worried about why this is happening and if I should start using the cream again or try something else?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
