Take Care of Your Acne First
Before tackling old scars, it's important to manage any ongoing breakouts. Addressing surface-level acne first prevents further irritation and potential scarring. Whether through over-the-counter products or prescriptions from your doctor, getting your acne under control is the first step.
Stop Picking at Your Skin
Picking at your skin can worsen acne and increase the risk of scarring. Popping whiteheads or squeezing pimples introduces more bacteria, pushing the infection deeper into the skin. To see lasting results from your acne scar treatments, it's crucial to break this habit.
Use the Right Topical Products
Choosing the right products is key to treating acne scars. For hyperpigmentation, look for ingredients like hydroquinone and glutathione, which are clinically proven to lighten skin. If you have deeper, pitted scars, you may need more intensive treatments.
Consider Clinical Treatments
For severe scarring, over-the-counter treatments might not suffice. Professional treatments such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion, available at your dermatologist’s office, can help by removing the top layers of skin and encouraging new, healthy skin cells to come to the surface.
Taking these steps can help you gain control over acne scars and improve your skin’s appearance. At Pure Glow US, we offer a range of products formulated to help you achieve clearer, healthier skin.
