Skin does not replace itself every 24 hours, it is replaces itself every 28 days, and for older people, it takes much longer of that to happen.
However, this is only half the story, the skin is consisted of two layers, the dermis and the epidermis, the dermis is the lower skin layer, while the epidermis is the upper layer of the skin that you see when you look in the mirror.
The epidermis is the one that take about 28 days to be replaced by a new layer, while the dermis takes roughly about 15 years to replace only half of it's contents.
When you get a wound and your skin forms a scar, this scar is formed in the dermis layer, hence why a scar or a tattoo will stay a lifetime.

But I got to say that I use: - Bioderma Sebium Face was, twice a day (morning & night) - Fair & Lovely Multi-vitamin, once in the morning (after face washing) - Glycerin, once at night about 2 hours before going to bed. This combination is working for me.
Can neosporin heal scars?
I've been reading that Neosporin is not so great at fading scars. According to my research, there are natural household products which can produce much better effects... such as lemon juice or aloe vera. Also, the massage technique you use to apply a product is as important as the product itself. Here, check this website for detailed information:http://get-rid-of-scars-now.info/
