Scars and dark spots: our tips to help you achieve near perfect skin
Even in adulthood - and whatever our skin type - we are unfortunately not immune to pigmentation irregularities. Eliminating the remnants of old pimple scars is often a difficult task... While it's not always possible to make these spots disappear completely, with the right products and the right reflexes, we can reduce scars and brown spots and help our skin regain its radiance!
Please note: darker skin types are more prone to hyperpigmentation. We recommend that you take great care to avoid hydroquinone-based products (they can cause burns and even depigmentation): despite their ban, they are unfortunately still sold online.
How to fade pimple scars?
From the outset, resist the temptation to pierce your blackheads: you'll avoid damaging the healing process. Whether you're dealing withblemishes or pigmentation spots, avoiding the sun altogether will prevent further inflammation and thus a shot of melanin that will darken the spot. Finally, it takes time to heal, at least 6 to 8 weeks with appropriate skin care. It can also be useful to review your beauty routine to prevent the appearance of future spots. This will limit the domino effect of scarring.
Care for scars
Some vegetable oils are very good at treating pigmentation problems over the long term. The star? L'BioRegenerate Wild Rose Oil Pai Skincare remains the undisputed star of our selection. This best-seller, rich in trans-retinoic acid, delivers the same results as Vitamin A, without the irritation! It also reduces redness and red marks, accelerating the healing of recent imperfections.
A residual brand playing hard to get? L'Age Bright Clearing Anti-Imperfection Serum Dermalogica' s Age Bright Clearing Anti-Imperfection Serum is a real magic wand for preventing blemishes and treating pimple marks for an even, radiant complexion.
And if you have (very) sensitive skin and still struggle with imperfections, our Anti-Blemish Serum Oh My Cream Skincare is for you! Its zinc, arnica and silver extracts gently purify and rebalance, without ever upsetting even the most fragile skin. Note that it doesn't contain anyanti-spot active ingredients as such, but it will help you avoid new imperfections...
If, despite all this, the scars are very persistent and bother you, don't hesitate to consult a dermatologist, who may be able to suggest laser treatment or a LED treatment treatment in several sessions, for example. And for acne scars, blemishes or pigmentation spots, read our review of Innerskin Crystal Peel.
