Acne scars & marks
For textural scars and marks left by previous breakouts.
The concern
Acne may leave textural scars or flat marks after breakouts settle. Scars alter the skin’s surface, while marks remain as red, purple, or brown discolouration.
Treatment depends on the scar type, skin tone, and whether breakouts remain active. Managing acne first can help prevent further scarring.
