Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
Dermovate cream is clobetasol, a very potent steroid cream. It isnt usually recommended for use over face and should always be used under a doctor's guidance and supervision. So for your acne marks, please do not use it. Instead use a kojic acid ( kojic/kojiglow/cosglo)or glycolic acid(glyco a/glycovera) or azelaic acid(aziderm/azac) or tretinoin cream( retino a/nexret/neoret/supatret) to reduce your spots.
Hope this helped
