In order to properly treat acne scars, you’ll need to classify which type of acne scar you have. The different ingredients found in acne scar creams can work distinctly when it comes to healing these types of scars. Basically it can be narrowed down to two different types: scars caused by increased tissue formation & scars caused by the loss of tissue.

Hypertrophic and keloid scars are two subcategories of where the scar tissue is formed above the skin’s surface. Where as ice pick scars, boxcar scars and rolling scars are classified within the category where tissue is lost during the acne healing process.
