Discoloration after acne is an increasingly common problem not only among teenagers. Acne skin, red spots or scars can follow us even in adulthood. Where do discoloration come from and how to get rid of unsightly stains? Better to choose home remedies or specialized treatments and pharmacological treatment?

Discoloration after acne – a problem of teenagers and adults

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation affects not only teenagers. If acne has been dragging on for a long time in the past, or if it has been treated incorrectly, it happens that when you enter adulthood, acne discoloration will not disappear. Scars and red spots from acne require long treatment. However, achieving an aesthetic and healthy complexion is a fully realistic goal.

Masking discoloration with a foundation or concealer only temporarily hides the problem, which can be cured in many ways. In addition, the daily use of cosmetics that camouflage discoloration often weighs down the skin even more. Dermocosmetics rich in vitamins and AHA acids, appropriate treatment or self-prepared specifics can soothe over time and even completely get rid of acne discoloration.

It is worth trying cosmetics with bakuchiol, which have a smoothing and moisturizing effect, but also anti-inflammatory and anti-acne. For example, the smoothing serum with bakuchiol 1% Sylveco, which you can buy at a promotional price at Medonet Market, will be perfect. You can also try Oleiq perilla oil, which is suitable for all skin types, or Oleiq cucumber hydrolate, which is known for its skin-brightening properties. Brightening serum with vitamin C 10% Sylveco will not only even out the skin tone, but also shallow wrinkles and help restore skin firmness. Green Montmorillonite clay for skin care, available at a favorable price on the Medonet Market, will also work for discoloration after acne.

Scars and discoloration after acne. How are they different?

Acne causes unsightly skin changes that are usually only temporary. However, changes can drag on much longer and be troublesome in adulthood as well. First of all, acne scars and discoloration can be distinguished. How are they different? Discoloration after acne is visible on the skin spots of a color ranging from pink to light brown.

Discoloration occurs after inflammation in the acne area. Melanogenesis (the production of a pigment in the skin) is disturbed in the skin, the excess of which causes reddish spots. Discoloration, unlike scars, can be easily removed, even using home remedies.

You can buy cosmetics specially designed for discoloration problems, such as Bright Light Tonight for discoloration and Skin Color Defect Serum for discoloration. You can also use dietary supplements for discoloration, eg BrownMe Health Labs – for sun-hungry skin, which supports the natural regeneration of the skin and restores its even color.

Acne scars are much more problematic, but there are also methods to eliminate or make them shallow. Scars are defects in the skin that differ in depth and shape. In order to regenerate the scar area and seal the lost tissue, the skin should be damaged once more during a specialized deep exfoliation treatment and thus affect the reconstruction of the skin. However, such methods of scar removal remain controversial and opinions about their safety are divided among doctors.

Some specialists say that these types of methods can cause numerous complications, including discoloration and scarring. It is worth adding that the treatments that remove scars, i.e. deeply exfoliating the skin, are very painful for the patient.

For discoloration, use regular SPF 50+ SKIN DELIGHT Sensilis Illuminating Fluid for Discoloration, which perfectly moisturizes the skin, does not clog pores, and evens out its color.

To take care of skin with discoloration, it is worth using additionally:

1. EPTA SPOT night serum for discoloration, which regulates the secretion of melanin,
2. EPTA SPOT discoloration skin peeling, which gently exfoliates dead epidermis and removes discoloration,
3. EPTA SPOT day cream for discoloration with soothing and irritation-alleviating properties.

These cosmetics can be purchased on Medonet Market separately or in mixed cosmetic sets:

1. EPTA SPOT skin discoloration kit – cream + peeling,
2. Kit lightening discoloration on the skin LIGHTEN! – cream + peeling and additionally serum with vitamin C,
3. A comprehensive set of smoothing, regenerating and lightening discoloration on the hands and nails – peeling + cream with nail conditioner,
4. A set of regenerating and lightening discoloration on hands and nails – cream with a special nail conditioner.

The causes of discoloration

Persistent acne discoloration has an ambiguous cause. Some scientists claim that acne of high intensity, which causes scarring and discoloration, is caused by too much interference with the biological balance of our skin and face. Due to bad and excessive hygiene, the bacterial flora of the skin has been disturbed since infancywhich at a later age results in severe acne.

Discoloration can also be caused by squeezing and scratching skin lesions. The damaged skin becomes infected and becomes inflamed, visible as red spots. Another reason may be the exposure of acne-prone skin to strong UV rays, e.g. when using a tanning bed. Discoloration after acne is often fixed by poorly selected cosmetics and hygiene products, which can dry out and damage even deep skin.

To improve the color of your skin, it is worth drinking Pukka Blackcurrant Beauty regularly – currant tea that lightens discolorations and adds radiance to the complexion. It turns out that purges also reduce discoloration. At Medonet Market you will find Farm-Vix Cleansing Ointment for dry and normal skin.

How to get rid of post-inflammatory discoloration – laser therapy, antibiotic or cream?

Many people are looking for the best way to get rid of discoloration. There are many methods of treating acne discoloration and their choice should be tailored to the individual case.

Before deciding on the treatment route, it is better to consult a dermatologist. The specialist will assess the advancement of skin changes and suggest the best treatment. Among the methods of fighting discoloration, the most popular are:

1. laser therapy – is one of the fastest ways to eliminate discoloration. The laser removes dead epidermis and subcutaneous lesions. Thus, it accelerates the regeneration of the skin, brightens it and smoothes it;
2. brightening cream – many over-the-counter creams are available, but it is still worth consulting your dermatologist. A good cream not only can lighten discoloration, but also nourish the skin;
3. a serum balancing the skin tone (e.g. Double Action Bioherba Serum for mature skin),
4. microdermabrasion – consists in exfoliating the skin and thus stimulating its regeneration.

You can also try the Orientana care cream for problem skin, which not only moisturizes but also lightens discoloration. It can be used in combination with the natural essence of Orientana for demanding skin, which also reduces discoloration. For mature skin, we recommend the Mikka collagen cream with CBD for the day and the Mikka collagen cream with CBD for the night. When used regularly, they not only even out the skin tone, but also reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Both cosmetics are available on the Medonet Market. Discoloration is lightened by the Orientana Illuminating Booster with Reishi and Rhodiola Rosea for the day, which is worth trying to make the skin full of radiance and energy.

We also recommend FLOSLEK cosmetics:

1. FLOSLEK whitening tonic for skin discoloration,
2. FLOSLEK whitening cream for skin discoloration,
3. FLOSLEK whitening spot cream for discoloration and freckles,
4. anti-aging cream preventing discoloration SPF 30 FLOSLEK,
5. DERMO EXPERT FLOSLEK lightening acid peeling for the night.

Proven home remedies for discoloration

Home remedies for red acne spots can also be effective. A hand-made cucumber tonic works well for discoloration. Grated cucumber juice brightens the skin and reduces inflammation. Cucumber will also work in other forms, e.g. masks. Home products can be supplemented with lemon, which also nourishes and regenerates skin cells. In addition, it is rich in vitamins A and C. To work more strongly and effectively, you can perform an acid peel, which can make the skin even and at the same time deeply nourish it. For this purpose, order the AHA and BHA acid peeling for home use Bioherba or the Fruit Acid Peel to reduce the appearance of pores.

It is also good to use the SPF 10 PURE PERFECTION Sensilis Mattifying and Moisturizing Fluid for oily and combination skin for imperfections, which does not clog pores, allows the skin to breathe, and at the same time unifies its color and improves its condition.
