Acne and scars can make the face look uneven, rough, and dull. They also affect confidence because new breakouts and old marks often appear together. Dust, stress, hormones, and clogged pores trigger acne. Scars form when skin repairs itself unevenly. The good news: the skin heals fast when it receives soothing, anti-bacterial, and cell-renewing natural ingredients. With correct, skin-type-specific remedies, you start feeling a smooth difference within 2–3 days. By day 7, visible clarity begins, and scars start fading gradually.
