Acne scars are common for many people after pimples or skin inflammation have healed. For some, they fade quickly, while others are left with lasting marks that affect skin tone and texture. With the right treatment, you can reduce the visibility of red marks and hyperpigmentation, helping you achieve a more even complexion. Here are our top product recommendations!
Fresh acne scars - Red marks (erythema)
When a pimple disappears but leaves a red or pink mark, it is often post-inflammatory erythema. This is more common in lighter skin tones and is caused by lingering inflammation or dilated superficial blood vessels.
Treatment
Serum Antirouge
A soothing and hydrating serum with Cypress and Horse Chestnut that strengthens capillaries to reduce redness.
Face Mask Gentle
A balancing clay mask that calms the skin and reduces redness to minimise the appearance of new acne scars. Use over the entire face or as a spot treatment.
Royal Facial Oil More
A nourishing facial oil with Rosehip Seed Oil, rich in natural vitamin A, which supports the skin’s natural repair process and helps heal acne scars.
Old acne scars - Brown spots (Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation)
Brown or dark marks that appear after healed inflammation are more common in medium to darker skin tones. PIH occurs due to overproduction of melanin in the affected area.
Treatment
Serum C
A powerful antioxidant serum with natural vitamin C that brightens hyperpigmentation, stimulates collagen production and gives a beautiful glow. Apply in the evening after cleansing and toning, before Night Cream.
Night Cream
A rich night cream with natural, fermented Lactic Acid (AHA) that enhances the effect of Serum C. Together, they work overnight to promote a clearer, more even complexion.
AHA & Jojoba Peeling
A facial exfoliator with natural Lactic Acid and jojoba beads that removes dead skin cells and helps improve skin tone and texture. Use 1–3 times per week, depending on skin sensitivity.
Sun protection is essential!
Using sun protection is crucial when treating both red marks and dark spots, especially during strong sunlight or prolonged exposure. UV radiation can worsen redness, slow healing and in some cases, turn fresh scars into post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Our physical sunscreens are suitable even for sensitive skin. Sun Lotion SPF 30 un Lotion SPF 30 can be used on both face and body, while Sun Stick SPF 50+ is ideal for extra sensitive areas.
Skin therapist tip
To minimise the risk of acne marks, avoid squeezing or picking at pimples, as this can worsen inflammation and damage the skin further. Instead use products suited for acne-prone skin, that support the healing process.
