There’s nothing worse than dealing with a breakout, but those with acne-prone skin know that the struggle doesn’t end with the zit; there’s the scar that’s left behind also. Everyone’s skin is different, but acne scars usually stick around well after a pimple has cleared, plaguing your complexion and making it harder to get clear skin.
Tired of stubborn acne scars overstaying their welcome? Murad‘s newest innovation is the solution acne sufferers have been waiting for. The brand kicked off the summer with the InvisiScar Resurfacing Treatment, which is designed to minimize the look of scar size, depth, texture, and discoloration in eight weeks.
TRY IT: Murad InvisiScar Resurfacing Treatment ($35)
How It Works:
The treatment uses salicylic acid (BHA) to exfoliate the targeted area, helping to fade the scar by promoting cellular turnover. This powerful acid is blended with hydrating purified centella asiatica, which strengthens the skin barrier, and vitamin C to encourage your skin's natural radiance and a healthier-looking complexion.
It's best to use the InvisiScar after your skin has been cleansed, but before you've moisturized with your go-to moisturizer. The brand notes that users will see better results when using the product with the other products in its acne-fighting routine.
