Although we encourage you to embrace your scars, no matter where they appear, we know that sometimes you’d rather get rid of them — and that’s OK, too. We know the struggle of dealing with acne scars in particular all too well. Considering it takes a carefully curated routine to help minimize acne in the first place , it can be frustrating to see discoloration and marks from old breakouts left behind. After much trial and error, we found five products that can truly help  diminish the appearance of acne scars.

SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic

C E Ferulic contains a powerhouse combination of 15% L-Ascorbic Acid, 1% Alpha Tocopherol and 0.5% Ferulic Acid. The cocktail works to brighten the skin’s complexion and fade dark spots with each use, which makes it worth trying if you suffer from post-acne discoloration.

Pixi Beauty Glow Peel Pads

To make your routine a little faster, try these glow swipes by Pixi Beauty. They contain 20% glycolic acid to minimize the look of pores, breakouts and fine lines.
