Scars — whether from past breakouts, cuts, or skin trauma — form when the skin's natural repair process is disrupted or overactive.
They can appear as pitted (atrophic), raised (hypertrophic), or pigmented marks, depending on the cause and skin type.

Steps you can take at home
- Use a vitamin C serum to help brighten post-inflammatory pigmentation.
- Incorporate retinol to support skin regeneration and soften uneven texture.
- Apply hydrating, barrier-repairing products to maintain healthy skin function.
- Avoid picking or over-exfoliating — both can worsen scarring.
- Commit to daily SPF to prevent scars from darkening.
