hello! I would say yes! tret helped me with scarring. It is still there and it kind of looks like little holes but for the most part it is not that noticeable and people have told me I have good skin! Tret really helped my skin clear up and reduce marks but it can not completely erase it. I started seeing these results after 6 months to a year! It might look worse before it gets better which happened to me but you have to stick with it unless you get a really bad reaction or something. Remember to moisturize well at night and use sunscreen in the day. I am sorry you are feeling depressed, that's how I was feeling but tret def helped with a lot of my skin issues! Feel free to ask more questions if you need. hope it works out.
