Scars

Skincare can help soften the look of marks and scarring, especially the flat red or dark marks breakouts leave behind, but it can't remove raised or deep scars. Exfoliating acids, retinol, azelaic acid and rosehip oil help smooth and even the look of skin over time, and daily SPF stops marks getting darker. For deep, raised or pitted scars, a dermatologist can talk you through your options.

Shop solutions from brands such as Trilogy, The Ordinary, Bioderma and many more.

Skin Concern FAQs

What's the difference between acne marks and acne scars?

Marks are flat red, pink or brown patches left after a spot heals, and they usually fade with time and the right skincare. Scars change the texture of the skin, either raised or pitted, and need a dermatologist for real change.

Which skincare is best for acne marks?

Azelaic acid, niacinamide and vitamin C help even out the look of dark marks, while retinoids and exfoliating acids help smooth uneven texture. Wear SPF every day so marks don't darken.

When should I see a dermatologist about scars?

If your scars are raised, deep or pitted, if they bother you, or if you are still getting breakouts that leave new scars. A dermatologist can explain treatment options that skincare can't offer.
