Proactiv's new Post Acne Scar Gel is useful for dealing with current acne scars and dark spots that have been left behind after the appearance of a blemish. The acne scar treatment product uses ingredients like rosehip oil and bakuchiol, a natural retinol alternative, to treat dark spots and support a smooth-looking complexion.
While there are many acne scar treatments that are beneficial for dealing with everything from raised bumps to discoloration, these solutions are taking on new significance as consumers of all ages deal with the aftermath of maskne—since wearing a face mask for a long period of time can irritate the skin barrier and create the prime conditions for bacteria to flourish.
