1. Understanding Hyperpigmentation & Acne Scars
Also Read: Clear Acne, Pigmentation
Acne isn’t just about those annoying breakouts—it’s the stubborn marks they leave behind that can be even more frustrating. Once a pimple clears up, especially if it was super inflamed or messed with, it can totally leave a flat, discolored mark on your skin. So, these marks called hyperpigmentation scars happen when inflammation gets all extra and makes too much melanin while healing. The outcome? Those annoying spots that can be red, purple, or even deep brown, totally depending on your skin vibe.
This thing, known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), is super common in medium to deeper skin tones, where melanin is just doing its thing more actively. PIH is different from those pitted or indented acne scars because it doesn’t mess with your skin's texture, but it can totally stick around for a while.
Dermatologists typically handle those dark marks with things like retinol or hydroquinone for hyperpigmentation, but honestly, those treatments might not be the best fit for sensitive skin or work well in the long run. Totally, there are definitely safer and more effective options available now—especially when it comes to skincare that actually works.
To really get rid of these marks, a product has to:
-
Block tyrosinase, the enzyme that kicks melanin production into gear.
-
Level up your skin game by speeding up cell turnover for that fresh, even glow.
-
Boost and moisturize your skin barrier to keep new discoloration at bay.
We know how to totally nail it by combining all three strategies with gentle but super effective K-beauty ingredients made just for Indian skin.
