Guide to Fading Acne Scars
Acne scars can feel frustrating, but guess what? They don’t have to stick around forever! You can brighten their appearance with consistent care and the right ingredients. K-Beauty is here to save the day with gentle, but effective skincare! Ready for smoother, healthier skin?
Smooth with Chemical Exfoliants 🧽
Say goodbye to stubborn scars with the help of chemical exfoliants! The gentle, yet powerful key to smoother brighter skin. The two most effective types are AHAs and BHAs; AHAs work on the surface to remove dead skin cells to improve texture and fade discolouration. While BHAs dive deep into your skin to unclog pores and target stubborn scars.
To start brightening up scars, include chemical exfoliants into your routine. It’ll leave you feeling AND looking radiant. They’ll also prep your skin well so other products can absorb better!
If you’re looking for a chemical exfoliant that truly delivers, the AHA BHA PHA 30 Day Miracle Toner is a Beauties favourite for a reason! AHA and BHA work together to clear dark spots and impurities + Papaya Extract and Lentil Soy Seed Extract calms and soothes.
Brighten with Vitamin C 🍊
A must-have when it comes to tackling indented scars and brightening dark scars is Vitamin C. This potent antioxidant is super impressive! Not only does it speed up collagen production (to heal those indented scars), but it’s amazing at lifting dullness and hyperpigmentation.
Incorporating Vitamin C into your routine is a powerful way to help your skin look its healthiest! For the best results, choose a stabilised Vitamin C serum like the Tiam Vitamin C 24 Surprise Serum. It’s formulated with 22% Pure Vitamin C and 2% Vitamin C Derivative, delivering high potency while staying stable against light and heat. Brighter skin without compromise 🙌🏻

Hydrate with Sheet Masks 💦
Fading acne scars doesn’t have to feel like a chore. Sheet masks will make it a relaxing experience so sit back and let the mask do all the hard work!
For targeted results, choose masks with brightening and calming ingredients like Vitamin C, Niacinimide, Centella Asiatica and Hyaluronic Acid. Added ingredients like these can flood your skin with moisture and deliver nutrients directly to your skin.

Each step and or ingredient works together to brighten, heal and smooth skin over time. So make sure you have the right ingredients and practice patience, you’ll see long lasting results in no time!
