Can I just use Ezanic 20 gel on my acne marks? I'm really hoping to get this cleared up, and I'd love some advice on whether that's the right approach. Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Yes, you can use Ezanic 20% gel (azelaic acid) directly on acne marks to help reduce their appearance, inflammation, and hyperpigmentation; apply a thin layer of the gel to the affected areas only, once or twice a day, and be patient as it may take a few weeks to see noticeable improvements.
