Okay so my acne WAS primarily on my jaw but thankfully I have very little active acne left. Unfortunately through out my journey with acne I have picked up a few scars, minimal though they may be I would like to reduce their appearance.

 

I am aware that scars (not pih) will fade in redness and become quite pale and almost white, will retin a help to speed up this process?

Retin a helps speed up cell turnover, meaning it helps the outer layers of your skin shed/grow faster. So in theory it should.

There are lots of other options as well though.
