Let me introduce you to my own home acne scar care method.

Acne scar management requires patience and consistency. Even after acne has cleared, remaining scars can be a source of concern. The first step to improving scars is minimizing skin irritation. Scrubbing too hard or using products with harsh chemicals can irritate the skin and worsen scars. Instead, gently wash your face with a mild cleanser and lukewarm water, and moisturize thoroughly afterward to prevent dryness.

Second, exfoliation plays a crucial role in scar management. Dead skin cells build up on the skin's surface, making scars appear more prominent. Therefore, it's recommended to use a gentle exfoliating product once or twice a week to smooth the skin surface. Exfoliating too frequently can actually irritate the skin, so it's important to maintain a moderate frequency.

Additionally, using products that contain ingredients that aid in skin regeneration is effective in reducing scars. Vitamin C, in particular, can help even out skin tone and stimulate collagen production, gradually improving scars. Using serums or creams containing vitamin C can help scars gradually fade. Retinol products can also help reduce scars by promoting skin cell regeneration, but they can be irritating to sensitive skin, so it's recommended to test before use.

Sun protection is an essential step in acne scar management. Exposure to UV rays can darken scars and delay healing, so use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, preferably 50, when going outdoors every day. Applying sunscreen daily will help prevent deepening scars.

Finally, acne scars gradually improve over time, so it's important to manage them consistently rather than expecting quick results. While scars may not completely disappear, practicing the above methods will gradually reduce their visibility over time. For older scars, you may also consider seeking professional treatment from a dermatologist.
