If you’ve ever wondered why some acne marks fade quickly while others stay for months, the reason is simple:

👉 Not all acne marks are the same.
They have different colors, different causes, and different treatments.

And the biggest mistake people make is using the same product for every type of acne mark.

In this blog, we break down the three main types of post-acne marks — red, brown, and deep — and explain which CLARIV serum works best for each.

This is a brand-new angle that clearly positions CLARIV Anti-Acne Serum + CLARIV Anti-Pigmentation Serum as a complete solution for beating ALL types of post-acne marks.

⭐ Type 1: Red or Pink Marks (Inflammatory Acne Marks)

These are fresh acne marks that appear right after a pimple heals.

Why They Appear:

Redness = leftover inflammation beneath the skin.

Common in:

• Oily skin

• Teenage acne

• Sensitive skin

• People who pick pimples

Characteristics:

• Pink or red

• Flat

• Lightly irritated

• Fade faster if treated early

Best Serum:

➡ CLARIV Anti-Acne Serum

Why it works:

• Niacinamide reduces redness

• Salicylic Acid clears clogged pores

• Azelaic + Mandelic calm inflammation

• Prevents red marks from becoming brown pigmentation

When to use:

Morning routine
Because reducing inflammation early prevents long-term dark spots.

⭐ Type 2: Brown Marks (PIH – Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation)

These are the stubborn brown or deep marks that stay for months.

Why They Appear:

After inflammation, melanin overproduces pigment → leaving brown spots.

Common in:

• Indian & melanin-rich skin tones

• People exposed to sun

• Deep pimples

• People who skip sunscreen

Characteristics:

• Brown or deep brown

• Flat

• Highly stubborn

• Darken more with sun exposure

Best Serum:

➡ CLARIV Anti-Pigmentation Serum

Why it works:

• Kojic Acid reduces melanin production

• Alpha Arbutin breaks down brown spots

• Tranexamic Acid works on deeper pigmentation

• Niacinamide brightens the overall tone

When to use:

Night routine
Because pigmentation responds best to nighttime repair.

⭐ Type 3: Deep Marks (Post-Acne Shadows or Stubborn Spots)

These are deeper-than-usual marks and may look bluish-brown.

Why They Appear:

Severe inflammation → melanin drops into deeper skin layers.

Common in:

• Cystic acne

• Hormonal acne

• People who pick or squeeze pimples

• Long-term untreated acne

Characteristics:

• Bluish-brown

• Stubborn

• Take 2–3 months

• Need multi-ingredient treatment

Best Serum Combination:

➡ CLARIV Anti-Acne Serum (Morning)

➡ CLARIV Anti-Pigmentation Serum (Night)

Why combination works:

• First reduces inflammation

• Then breaks down deep melanin

• Prevents future darkening

• Brightens surface + deep layers

This is the fastest, most effective routine for deep post-acne marks.

⭐ The Perfect CLARIV Routine Based on Your Acne Mark Type

✔ If you have fresh red marks → Anti-Acne Serum (morning + night)

Fade early inflammation.

✔ If you have brown marks → Anti-Pigmentation Serum (night only)

Treat stubborn melanin.

✔ If you have both red + brown marks → Combo Routine

• Morning: CLARIV Anti-Acne Serum

• Night: CLARIV Anti-Pigmentation Serum

This dual routine speeds up fading dramatically.

⭐ Why CLARIV Serums Work Perfectly Together

• Designed for Indian skin

• Target inflammation + melanin together

• Lightweight and fast absorbing

• No fragrance

• Beginner-friendly

• Affordable yet dermatologist-grade

• Safe for teens and adults

This makes CLARIV one of the most effective solutions for acne marks in India.

⭐ Essential Tips for Faster Fading of Acne Marks

To get maximum results:

✔ Always wear sunscreen

Acne marks darken 2× faster without SPF.

✔ Avoid touching or picking pimples

It deepens inflammation and pigmentation.

✔ Stay consistent for 4–8 weeks

Pigmentation takes time to fade.

✔ Use the right serum for your mark type

Don’t treat everything with one product.
