I try to avoid my acne because of risks of popping it and causing a scar plus it scares me now because when I was on Accutane I exfoliated too much once and I got a HUGE purple scar on my face.

Like Jacqlyn said only a chemical one and for the redness and to sooth maybe try a oatmeal mask.

If you want to use a scrub, go for one that's very very gentle. But I think a chemical peeling would be more safe to use.
