Silicone gel sheets are safe
You can not harm your skin by using them on your face for acne scars, and they may have some beneficial effect, but it could be very subtle and take a long time to achieve. However, if you can tolerate using them and keep them on as many hours a day as possible, it's worth a try. Be aware, though, that they are mostly helpful in flattening raised scars and will not help smooth out most indented scars.
