If you also have acne scars, know that you are not alone. Many of us feel uncomfortable with our physical appearance and would like to have clear, smooth skin.
If you have suffered or still suffer from acne, you know how frustrating it can be to have your face marked by pimples. But the problem doesn’t end there: because often, after acne lesions have healed, scars remain that make the skin texture uneven, right? It happens to a lot of people.
And as a consequence, it can happen that these scars negatively affect our self-esteem and psychological well-being, making us feel uncomfortable with our appearance and on social occasions. And then, how annoying is it to always have to use makeup to cover them up? And be afraid that they will get worse over time?
Fortunately, you don’t have to resign yourself to living with acne scars: there are effective remedies, both natural and dermatological, to improve the appearance of your skin and reduce or eliminate the marks left by acne.
In this article, we will explain what acne scars are, what causes them, what treatments are available, and how to prevent new scars from forming. In addition, we will explain how BeOnMe natural products for blemished and acne-prone skin can help you improve the appearance of your skin!
Are you ready? So let’s get started! 😊
The information we provide is general and should not replace the advice of your doctor or dermatologist. We recommend that you turn to them for diagnosis and treatment of your skin problems.
What are acne scars?
Acne scars are permanent skin lesions, such as small holes or thickening, that form when acne damages skin tissue and the skin fails to regenerate. Depending on the type and severity of acne, the scars can be more or less deep and visible.
There are several types of acne scars, which are distinguished by shape, size and color:
- You can recognize atrophic scars because they are like dimples or holes in the skin, they are among the most common acne scars.
- Hypertrophic scars, on the other hand, appear as thickening of the skin.
- Finally, keloid scars are similar to hypertrophic scars, but they are larger and extend beyond the margins of the original lesion.
Causes of acne scars
Acne scars form when comedones, caused by an overproduction of sebum, become inflamed causing an injury.
Normally, the skin tries to repair the damage by producing new cells and collagen. However, when it is unable to regenerate on its own, scars form.
Furthermore, the regeneration process can be altered by several factors:
- The severity of acne: the more severe and deep the acne, the more pronounced the scars are and the more difficult to remove.
- Crushing, scratching, or touching pimples can worsen inflammation and injury to the skin, increasing the risk of acne scars and pimples.
- Genetics: Some people are more likely than others to develop acne scars, due to increased skin sensitivity or poor healing ability.
- Age: As the years go by, the skin loses elasticity and tone, and acne scars become more noticeable.
- The sun: Unprotected sun exposure can make acne scars worse, making them darker and more visible.
- Stress: Stress can aggravate acne, its consequences, and inflammation.
- Lifestyle: smoking, drinking alcohol, sleeping little and badly, using aggressive cosmetics or cosmetics that are not suitable for your skin type, can negatively affect the health of your skin.
Treatments for acne scars
There are several treatments to eliminate or at least fade acne scars, both natural and dermatological. The choice of treatment depends on the type, severity and size of the scars, as well as your preferences and expectations.
Natural Treatments for Acne Scars
On the web you can find some natural home and DIY remedies for acne scars, which are based on the use of natural ingredients such as aloe, lemon, honey, rosehip oil, baking soda, tea tree oil, etc.
However, these natural remedies can only partially help improve the appearance of acne scars. In general, they are not very effective, and do not give long-lasting results.
On the contrary, they can have side effects: if used pure on the skin or inadequately, they can cause irritation, allergies, blemishes, etc. For this reason, we recommend that you do not use these home remedies, but instead rely on targeted, quality products.
Products to Reduce Acne Scars
In any case, we recommend that you consult a dermatologist and follow his or her instructions.
At BeOnMe we have created a line of natural and organic cosmetics designed for impure and acne-prone skin, which will help you improve the appearance of your skin and reduce the visibility of acne and pimple scars.
To treat acne scars, we offer you a simple but effective beauty routine, which consists of four steps:
Acne scars: which cleanser to use
Cleanse your face with the Purifying Facial Cleansing Gel: a delicate but powerful product that, thanks to salicylic acid, which has an exfoliating action, deeply cleanses pores, dissolves pore impurities, eliminates dirt, sebum and makeup, and smoothes the skin.
Use it every day, morning and evening, massaging a small amount of product into your damp face and rinsing with warm water.
THE BEST EXFOLIATING SCRUB FOR THOSE WITH ACNE SCARS
Exfoliate your skin with the Cleansing Scrub Gel, a product that combines the cleansing action with the smoothing action of silica microspheres. This special organic scrub removes dead cells, stimulates cell renewal and promotes the penetration of the active ingredients applied subsequently.
Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, prevent clogged pores, and promote cell renewal.
The best thing is that, in addition to exfoliating, it is extremely moisturizing (being based on organic aloe), a very important factor in keeping the skin soft and helping it regenerate!
Use this facial scrub two or three times a week, applying a small amount of product to your damp face and massaging gently in circular motions, avoiding the eye area.
Skin with acne scars: which cream to choose
As we said, hydration is one of the most important factors in promoting cell renewal!
Use Face Serum Impure Skin and Face Cream Combination Skin, two complementary products that moisturize and soothe the skin without weighing it down.
- The Face Serum for impure and acne-prone skin is a concentrate of natural active ingredients, ideal for those with skin with pimples and acne. It should be applied every day, morning and evening, after cleansing the skin, distributing a few drops of product on the face and tapping gently with your fingers, until completely absorbed.
- The Face Cream Combination Skin is a light and delicate cream that moisturizes and rebalances the skin without being greasy, on the contrary, it has a mattifying and texturizing effect that improves the appearance of the skin. Apply it every day, after the Astringent Face Serum for Impure Skin, spreading a small amount of product on the face and massaging gently, until completely absorbed.
The Best Face Mask for Those With Acne Scars
To keep scarred skin soft, use the organic Nourishing Face Mask, a key product that nourishes and helps regenerate the skin, making it smoother and brighter.
Use it once or twice a week, after cleansing and exfoliating your skin, applying an even layer of product to your face and leaving it on for 10-15 minutes. Then, rinse it off.
By following this beauty routine with BeOnMe cosmetics, you can reduce the visibility of acne scars, and achieve a more beautiful, clean and even skin!

Dermatological treatments for acne scars
If natural cosmetics are not enough to visibly reduce acne scars, you can consult a dermatologist to get advice on the most suitable dermatological treatment for your case and evaluate any side effects together.
There are several dermatological treatments to get rid of acne scars, including:
- The laser for acne scars: eliminates or reduces the visibility of scars and stimulates the skin to regenerate.
- Acne scar peeling: it is a treatment that consists of applying a chemical to the skin, which exfoliates the skin by stimulating cell renewal and eliminating or reducing scars.
- Microdermabrasion for acne scars: it is a treatment that acts on the superficial layer of the skin, visibly eliminating or attenuating scars.
- Dermabrasion: it is a treatment similar to the previous but deeper.
- The filler: it is a treatment that consists of injecting a filler substance under the skin, which makes the skin smoother and more even.
These are just some of the dermatological treatments for acne scars, but there are others, such as radiofrequency therapy, microneedling, cryotherapy, etc.
To choose the most suitable treatment for you, we recommend that you look for the best dermatologists in your area, and assess your situation and get a personalized therapy prescribed.
How to Prevent Acne Scars
To prevent acne scars you should first treat acne, that’s clear, but also avoid some things, first of all squeezing pimples or tormenting the skin!
Avoid touching, squeezing, or scratching pimples, as this can worsen inflammation and injury to the skin, increasing the risk of developing scarring. In addition, the hands can bring bacteria and dirt to the face, making the situation worse.
An essential product to fight pimples and acne is the BeOnMe Spot Treatment, a certified, fast-acting organic formula that helps to deflate pimples and soothe the skin.
This superhero contains organic aloe, thyme and tea-tree extract and also gluconolactone which promotes the improvement of skin tone by acting on spots derived from pimples!
And if you want some tips on how to prevent scars from getting worse over time, here are some good habits to follow, which concern both skincare and lifestyle:
- Protect your skin from the sun, using a sunscreen suitable for your skin type. The sun can worsen acne and acne scars, making them darker and more visible. Additionally, the sun can damage the skin, causing premature aging
- Follow a balanced and healthy diet, rich in antioxidants, which are essential for skin health and beauty
- Drink enough water to help moisturize your skin, which is essential for keeping your skin soft and helping it regenerate.
- Exercise regularly to stimulate blood circulation and oxygenation of the skin, and to reduce stress. Just remember to cleanse your face immediately afterwards to prevent sweat and dirt from clogging your pores!
- Get enough sleep to allow your skin to rest and regenerate. Sleep is crucial for the health and beauty of the skin. Be sure to avoid going to sleep with makeup, as this can clog pores and make acne worse!
In any case, and especially if your acne is persistent or severe, we recommend that you consult a dermatologist, who will be able to assess the situation and prescribe appropriate therapy.
