Get To Know Your Acne Scars

Hi Klevies! Have you ever struggled with acne and acne scars for so long, as if it’s never getting better as time goes by, even though you have tried countless products from high-end products to the products that get viral on every social media? If you have, maybe, you haven’t done it right all these times!

The existence of acne itself is pretty hard to treat, we guess treating the post-acne scars is the least thing you want to do. Well, it is pretty challenging but remember, life goes on, so you just have to face it better and smarter!

And in order to do that, the very first thing you have to do is to enlighten yourself about the problems you are facing. Since we are here to talk about acne scars, let me tell you a basic thing about acne scars you don’t want to miss.

There are several types of acne scars, but we are just going to discuss about these two acne scars that might (or might not!) be familiar to you. Those are PIH (Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation) and PIE (Post Inflammatory Erythema). Strange enough? Let’s get to know them right now!

PIE (Post Inflammatory Erythema)

PIE usually occurs after you went through a breakout, and you can tell by its distinctive characteristics such as reddish and purplish marks on your skin, or you might tell when you can spot a purple blotches on your skin. In general, PIE is caused by Cystic Acne, but the other conditions that might trigger PIE are due to small small blood vessels (capillaries) damage due to acne inflammation, scratches, and sunburn.

PIE is often seen on a lighter skin tone and might last for several months. Although PIE may fade on its own over time, there are several treatments that can help you speed up the healing process.

Of course, skincare can help! Choose the right skincare that is rich in antioxidants such as Vitamin C and Niacinamide which also works as anti-inflammatory, brightens the skin, and reduces the potential breakouts due to cystic acne. Now that we mentioned antioxidants, you know Kleveru Sea Buckthorn Series might be the right choice for you to treat PIE at home.

PIH (Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation)

Another type of acne of acne scars is PIH or Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation. PIH is more likely to be a brown to blackish acne scar that is often seen on people who tend to have darker skin tones. In general, the healing process of PIH is quite longer than PIE.

What might trigger PIH is skin inflammation that stresses the skin and triggers several reactions like increasing melanin production in the skin. Eventually, excess melanin production is what causes black spots on the skin after you deal with acne.

So what to do when you experience PIH and how to treat it? PIH is quite easy to deal with as long as you have a right skincare routine. You need to consider ingredients that can brighten the skin such as Niacinamide, Alpha Arbutin, Licorice, Vitamin C and calming ingredients like Aloe Vera. Don’t forget to exfoliate your skin at least 2-3 times a week with a gentle exfoliator product to help you disguise PIH.
