has anyone tried adapelene for months or years and seen changes in acne scars ?. I have heard things about it working well with scars after some time of application , still have not seen much about it on these forums. This study supported its efficacy after 3 months of use. https://www.jaad.org/article/S0190-9622(14)00035-8/abstract .

retin A, adapalene has helped me get better skin quality and it could possibly heal new hyperpigmentbut didn't do jack for any old scars. Usually it is used to prep 2-3 weeks in advance for microneedling, TCA Cross, and peels.
