Does acne cause scarring?
Yes, it can. If acne is not treated early enough, it may scar the skin. The two types of scars that result from acne are: Hypertrophic scars, which are hard, upraised areas of the skin surface. The other kind of scars are called Pits, or “pock marks,” and they are depressed into the surface of the skin. To diminish the appearance of acne scars, try Skin Lightening Kojic Cream ($85). This gentle yet effective fade cream is formulated to target dark areas on the face, chest and hands. It blends de-pigmenting Licorice Extract and 7% Glycolic Acid with skin-calming Cucumber, Jasmine Absolute, and Algae Peptides for a smoother, more even-toned complexion.
