Acne Spot Protocol by Kare MD Skin Health

Acne breakouts are quite common during adolescence and the early twenties.  Pimples can come and go, but they sometimes leave dark spots on the face that can last for months at a time. 

If you have ever had a bad acne breakout, you probably remember those annoying red and brown marks that are left behind in the skin once the pimples clear up.  Dermatologists blame the dark spots on a process known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or PIH.   The dark spots are caused by an excessive amount of melanin that is deposited into the epidermis and dermis. Depending on how bad the pimple was, the pigment can take weeks to months to clear up.

‘Discolored acne scars are treated very differently than acne pimples are indented acne scars’, explains Santa Monica plastic surgeon Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian.  Many of the most common treatments for acne are essentially useless in improving the dark spots. Fortunately, there are products available to help improve the dark acne scars and help clear up your complexion.

Kare MD Skin Health has introduced a combination protocol for dark acne scars that includes Melapads Daily Exfoliating Pads + Melarase creams. The ‘Acne Spot Protocol’ can help discolored acne scars regain normal skin complexion.

The ‘Acne Spot Protocol’ involves twice daily exfoliation with Melapads followed by daily application of Melarase AM in the morning and Melarase PM in the evening. Melapads contain three powerful exfoliating acids including Salicylic Acid, Glycolic Acid, and skin lightening Kojic Acid.  Melarase AM is a non-Hydroquinone skin lightener with SPF 30; and Melarase PM is a Hydroquinone-based skin lightener and exfoliant.

Verdict: Dark acne spots can ruin your complexion and spoil your attempts at clearing the acne on your face. Kare MD Skin Health’s ‘Acne Spot Protocol’ contains a powerful combination of exfoliants, SPF 30, and skin lighteners to help even out your complexion and reduce uneven skin tone. We like the simplicity and ease of application, especially in acne-prone and oily skin.
