01. Pond's Bright Beauty Spotless Glow Face Wash
We're always going to start with a cleanser, and when it comes to fading acne scars, the Pond's Bright Beauty Spotless Glow Face Wash is right up there on our list. Enriched with Pro-vitamin B3, the facial foam reduces dark spots and scarring to reveal flawless, radiant skin with regular use.
02. St. Ives Radiant Skin Pink Lemon & Mandarin Orange Scrub
Frequent exfoliation helps fade acne scars and marks. But that's not where it stops! Exfoliating will also brighten up your skin, make it softer and smoother, minimise the appearance of enlarged pores, and help prevent breakouts. If you're looking for a scrub to take care of your skin woes, go for the St. Ives Radiant Skin Pink Lemon & Mandarin Orange Scrub. By polishing away dullness for radiant skin and deeply cleansing the skin, the scrub will make your skin look brighter and make it scar-free!
03. Lakmé 9 to 5 Vitamin C+ FacIal Serum
You've heard all about the brightening benefits of Vitamin C, but did you know it also helps with scarring? Vitamin C treats acne scars by increasing collagen production. As a result, it speeds up the healing of acne scars — and we've got just the pick for you. The Lakmé 9 to 5 Vitamin C+ Face Serum with 100% Real Kakadu Plum Extract For Nourished Skin contains one of the richest known sources of Vitamin C in the world — Kakadu plum — and will leave your skin hydrated, evened out and scar-free with regular use.
04. Simple Daily Skin Detox SOS Clearing Booster
If you need instant skin purification to keep blemishes away, the Simple Daily Skin Detox Sos Clearing Booster is for you. Acting as a primer that helps shine control and can also be used as a spot treatment for blemishes, the 2-in-1 miracle moisturiser will help prevent future blemishes and leave your skin looking visibly clearer, fresh and balanced day after day. It contains the goodness of thyme, zinc, and witch hazel which help soothe the skin and control oil, and is free of parabens and alcohol, making it the perfect skin-detoxifying blend.
05. Dermalogica Sebum Clearing Masque
The Dermalogica Sebum Clearing Masque is a gem when it comes to clearing up skin. Containing licorice and niacinamide helps even out skin tone; the mask manages to purify the skin and refine its texture. That means goodbye, acne scars! And don't worry about future breakouts either — the mask also contains bentonite and kaolin, which clear congestion on the skin and absorb excess oil, while the salicylic acid in it helps clear clogged pores.
