To help fade scars, the best treatment depends on the scar type. For raised or hypertrophic scars, topical silicone gel or silicone sheets are highly effective. For dark, flat scars (like those from acne), ointments containing retinoids, vitamin C, kojic acid, or niacinamide can help brighten the skin and promote cell turnover. It is also crucial to apply sunscreen daily, as UV rays can darken scars and delay healing. Please note that deep or older scars may require clinical treatments like laser therapy. I recommend consulting a dermatologist to safely determine the best approach for your specific skin.
