How to Reduce Acne Scars and Hyperpigmentation

Your Skin Deserves a Fresh Start : We’ve all had that moment: you finally get rid of a pimple, only to be left with an annoying scar or dark mark that sticks around way longer than it should. It's frustrating, especially when you've tried countless remedies with little success.

But here's the good news! you’re not alone, and more importantly, there are real, effective ways to reduce those acne scars and pigmentation issues. Whether you’re dealing with leftover marks from teenage acne or recent breakouts, your skin can heal. It just needs the right care and consistency.

Let’sl take you through exactly how you can reduce acne scars and pigmentation with tried-and-tested steps, plus we’ll reveal our favorite glow-boosting products from Bebo & Co that customers swear by.

1. Understand Your Acne Scars & Pigmentation

Not all marks are the same. Some are deep indentations (like icepick scars), while others are flat dark spots (called PIH – post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation). Knowing the difference helps you treat them more effectively.

2. Prioritize Gentle Yet Effective Cleansing

Using a good cleanser helps remove excess oil, dirt, and bacteria — all of which can worsen pigmentation. Avoid harsh scrubs. Instead, go for a gentle facewash that purifies without damaging your skin barrier.

3. Add Ingredients That Work Wonders

Look out for:

• Niacinamide – reduces inflammation and fades dark spots
• Vitamin C – brightens skin and supports collagen
• Retinoids – boost skin cell turnover
• Alpha Arbutin & Kojic Acid – help even out skin tone

4. Don’t Skip Sunscreen – Ever!

Pigmentation gets darker with sun exposure. Use a broad-spectrum SPF every day, even if you're indoors. It protects your skin and enhances the effects of your treatments.

5. Be Consistent & Patient

Skin renewal takes time. Most treatments need at least 4-8 weeks of regular use before you see real results. Stay consistent and keep your routine simple.

A: It depends on the severity and treatment used. Most users see visible improvement in 1– 2 weeks with consistent skincare.

Q: Are Bebo & Co products suitable for sensitive skin?
