Thanks!

Reply:I don't know about the back, but it helps with facial scars. It's not a miracle cure, but it improves the appearance.

You have to be patient–it's like a gradual chemical peel.

Reply:I think the main focus of retin-a is to control the break-outs (I could be wrong). I am presently using a very costly cream HQRA which is a combination or retin-a and hydroquinone. The HQ is a skin lightener. I use it on my back….a slow process that does work. But costly.
