3 Ingredients To Get Rid Of Acne Scars!

posted in Skin & Body Tips on 3/1/2016

If you have dark marks left over from a zit or acne, they are most likely PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation). This darkness is a result of the swelling that happens when you get a zit. There are 3 great ingredients for fighting them topically: Vitamin C, BHA, and retinol.

Vitamin C can: + Reduce the appearance of brown spots and other types of sun damage + Helps boost healthy collagen production (hello, firmer skin!) + Reduce inflammation and irritation, both of which cause a cascade of damage + Fade post-breakout red marks by improving skin’s natural healing response + Increase the effectiveness of your sunscreens and boosts your skins defense against UV exposure

BHA (also known as salicylic acid) exfoliants work to: + Reduce discolorations, uneven skin texture and improve signs of aging + Treat clogged pores, blackheads, and breakouts.

Retinol can: + Increase collagen production + Help fade discolorations from sun damage + Support anti-aging
