Recently, I’ve noticed that the acne scars on my face have become quite severe, and I’m considering using an acne-scar-repair toner. Could you please tell me: Is an acne-scar-repair toner effective?

Acne scar repair toner is generally effective, but its results are not particularly noticeable. Acne pits—superficial scars left by acne—may require more advanced treatments if severe. Options include chemical peels (e.g., glycolic acid) or intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy. However, acne scar repair toners alone typically yield only modest improvements. For more severe acne pits, laser treatment is recommended, as it can effectively remove or significantly improve their appearance.
