WHEN ACNE SCARS And How To Get Rid Of Them

BY DANIELLE ANENE

AAcne scars! Nobody likes them!. If one is not careful, acne scars can have a negative impact on one's confidence. There have been cases of people with acne being discriminated against in a variety of settings, ranging from being excluded from the dating scene to not being considered presentable enough for front-desk or clientfacing jobs; some people even associate people with acne with poor hygiene. This is not true in any way. Unfortunately, even after the acne has been treated, you will have to deal with the scars it has left behind, and if you are not careful, you may worsen the situation. We all know that the basic skincare routine consists of cleansing the face, applying treatment and moisturizing the face, but we want to focus on the middle step, treatment application. After treating the acne, you should always treat your skin with serums containing ingredients like vitamin C, retinol, alpha hydroxy acids and others. Here are a few products that contain these ingredients that are suitable for dark skin:

1. THE ORDINARY FACIAL TREATMENT SET AND THE BALANCE SET

This facial set is dermatologically approved; it contains azelaic acid, which is great for preventing acne scars from getting darker and for gradually fading dark and pink spots; it is also great for people with sensitive skin.

When using this product, keep in mind that Niacinamide and Vitamin C should not be used in the same routine. Use Niacinamide during the day and Vitamin C at night. Hyaluronic acid can be used both during the day and at night. Make sure to wear sunscreen during the day and moisturiser at night. The ordinary brand is definitely worth a try and it is suitable for all skin

The Murad Environmental Shield Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum contains a combination of Vitamin C and hydroquinone (a skin-lightening ingredient) that helps fade dark spots, brightens your complexion, and gently heals acne spots.

The CeraVe serum reduces the appearance of postacne marks and pores, aids in the restoration of the protective skin barrier, and improves skin smoothness. The Niacinamide acid helps to calm the skin by reducing redness and inflammation, while the retinol promotes skin cell turnover for a brighter and healthier appearance. It contains ceramides, which help to restore the protective skin barrier and heal damage and it is suitable for all skin types.

This treatment combines vitamin C with alpha-hydroxy acids to help lighten and smooth your skin. The 15% concentration of vitamin C protects your skin from UV damage and increases collagen production, while the 10% dose of hydroxy acid gently exfoliates and gives your skin a glow.

This serum primarily contains glycolic acid which is a key ingredient in the treatment of acne scarring. Exfoliating ingredients, such as salicylic acid and glycolic acid help the skin shed darkly pigmented cells. The acids help to brighten, strengthen and even out your skin tone. This product is suitable for normal, oily, combination, and dry skin types and has received positive reviews for improving skin texture.
