KNOW YOUR ROUTINE
What is the difference between uneven skin tone and post-acne marks?
Uneven skin tone is a broad description of differences in skin colour. Post-acne marks describe colour changes left where a breakout has healed. Dark post-acne marks can be a form of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation; they are one possible reason for uneven-looking tone, not a separate skin type.
Look at colour and texture separately
A flat mark and an indented or raised scar are different concerns. Colour left after a breakout is not automatically a permanent scar. Red or pink marks are also not the same as brown pigmentation. A product described as brightening should not be assumed to address every kind of mark.
Give your routine a clear priority
If breakouts are still appearing, distinguish your current breakout concern from the marks left behind. Adding several brightening or exfoliating products at once can make it difficult to tell what suits your skin.
Keep cleansing and moisturising comfortable and consistent. Avoid picking at spots or scrubbing marks in an attempt to remove them. Sun exposure can darken post-inflammatory pigmentation, so make sun protection part of your daytime routine.
Where cosmetic skincare fits
For customers exploring a more radiant, even-looking complexion, Skin Brightening Cream and Rosehip Oil Brightening+ are options to compare. Read each complete formula and its directions. They are cosmetic routine choices; we do not promise that they will remove scars, treat every cause of pigmentation or produce a result within a fixed number of weeks.
Make changes you can follow
Introduce one change, keep the rest of the routine steady and pay attention to comfort as well as appearance. If you record progress, use similar lighting and avoid filters so the comparison remains useful.
