@Fatima is there any I can’t use while breastfeeding ?
I'd say retinoids (retinol, tretinoin, adapalene), oral acne meds (like Accutane), high-dose salicylic acid, hydroquinone. Of course always check with you gp to be sure.

For breakouts: Benzoyl peroxide (kills bacteria) Salicylic acid (clears pores) Sulfur (dries deep pimples) Retinoids (prevent/treat acne) Niacinamide (calms + reduces oil) For scars: Azelaic acid (fades spots, smooths skin) Vitamin C or alpha arbutin (brightens) AHAs (exfoliate, improve texture) Retinoids (help fade scars) Silicone gel (for raised scars) Pro options: peels, microneedling, lasers, or prescriptions if it’s severe. And always use sunscreen!
