Washing your face with white vinegar cannot remove acne scars; this method is ineffective for treating post-acne hyperpigmentation. Acne scar treatment typically involves topical application of tretinoin cream. Alternatively, you can visit a cosmetic or plastic surgery clinic for laser therapy to remove acne scars. Laser treatment generally yields better results, effectively repairing the skin and stimulating collagen regeneration, thereby lightening acne scars. Currently, laser therapy is one of the most commonly used and technically mature approaches for acne scar removal.
