Discover ingredients and formulations designed to help fade the look of dark marks that remain after breakouts.

What is Post-Acne Hyperpigmentation

Post-acne hyperpigmentation appears as brown or dark marks that stay after a breakout has healed, as skin produces extra melanin in response to inflammation. These marks can be more visible on deeper skin tones and may take months to fade. Avoiding picking, using daily sun protection, and choosing brightening actives can help improve the look of these marks.
