Most people think acne marks are only caused by pimples.
But in India, there is another major cause that almost everyone ignores:

👉 HEAT.

Yes — heat alone can darken your acne marks.

Hot weather, sweating, humidity, and harsh Indian sun all trigger melanin production.
This is why you’ll notice:

• Your acne marks look darker in summer

• Red marks become brown

• Brown marks become deep patches

• Light acne marks stay for months

• Pigmentation increases even without sunburn

This is known as heat-induced pigmentation, and it affects Indian skin more than Western skin.

To treat acne marks effectively, you must use serums that fight:

✔ Inflammation (red marks)
✔ Melanin production (brown marks)
✔ Heat-induced darkening

The perfect combination for this is:

⭐ CLARIV Anti-Acne Serum (for redness)

⭐ CLARIV Anti-Pigmentation Serum (for brown marks)

Let’s break down this new angle.

⭐ Why Heat Makes Acne Marks Worse in India

Indian climate exposes your skin to:

🔥 High temperatures
💧 Humidity
🌞 Strong sunlight
💦 Sweat
🌫 Pollution

These factors create the perfect environment for melanin overproduction.

Here’s what actually happens:

✔ 1. Heat triggers melanin cells

Even without UV exposure, heat ALONE activates melanocytes → darkening acne marks.

✔ 2. Sweat inflames active acne

Inflammation → red marks → turns brown over time.

✔ 3. Humidity clogs pores & increases irritation

More irritation = deeper marks.

✔ 4. UV + heat together darken marks 3x faster

Explains why acne marks get worse during summers.

✔ 5. Indian skin produces more melanin naturally

Which means more pigmentation, faster.

This is why acne marks in India take longer to fade compared to colder countries.

⭐ The Best Serums for Heat-Induced Acne Marks

Based on this new angle, the ideal routine is:

1️⃣ CLARIV Anti-Acne Serum — for Red, Fresh, Heat-Inflamed Acne Marks

Red (PIE) marks are caused by:

• Heat

• Sweat

• Inflammation

• Active pimples

The Anti-Acne Serum works because:

✔ Niacinamide reduces redness
✔ Salicylic Acid clears clogged pores
✔ Azelaic + Mandelic Acid calm inflammation
✔ Prevents red marks from turning brown (critical in Indian heat)

Use it in the morning to control heat-triggered inflammation throughout the day.

2️⃣ CLARIV Anti-Pigmentation Serum — for Brown, Heat-Darkened Acne Marks

Brown (PIH) marks get darker in heat because of melanin activation.

This serum works because:

✔ Kojic Acid reduces melanin
✔ Alpha Arbutin fades stubborn brown spots
✔ Tranexamic Acid targets deep heat-induced pigmentation
✔ Niacinamide brightens the skin tone

Use it at night when the skin repairs faster and is cooler.

⭐ How to Pick the Best Serum for Your Acne Marks

✔ Your marks are red → Anti-Acne Serum

Best for fresh acne, redness, irritation.

✔ Your marks are brown → Anti-Pigmentation Serum

Best for old, stubborn marks.

✔ Your marks are red + brown → Use both

Morning = Anti-Acne
Night = Anti-Pigmentation
