I m 15 years old and I have acne scars on my chest , back and the back of my arms. I m trying to find a skin product that can help lighten them and eventually get rid of them. I ve found two potential products: Lumnaskin and Meladerm.. I m just wondering which one is better and safer to use.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Both are similar creams

They do not have steroids or hydroquinone.

It makes them cosmeceuticals.

May not be as effective as proper medical grade creams, but nevertheless they can be tried without the risk of any side effects as such.

Use either of them for 3 months and see how the results are.

Thanks
