Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
If you are having a depressed acne scar ( like a crater), creams will not be of much help. You need to do procedures to elevate the scar. If it is a single scar, you could do subcision procedure. A needle is inserted below the skin after anaesthetising the skin and the scar bands are broken down. You may need 3-6 sessions at 4 weeks interval depending on the depth of the scar. Fraxel laser is another option.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
