5 Brutal Truths About Acne Scars—And Why They Won’t Fade on Their Own

By Molly Richards

Last Update Feb 15, 2025

You’ve been told acne scars fade with time. But if that were true, why are yours still here? Here’s what’s really happening under your skin—and how to finally fix it.

Acne Scars Aren’t Just on the Surface—So Surface Treatments Won’t Work

Most people waste years on creams, serums, and scrubs, hoping their scars will fade. But here’s the harsh truth: acne scars don’t sit on the surface of your skin—they form deep beneath it.

✔ Pitted scars? Your skin didn’t produce enough collagen to fill in the damage.

✔ Dark marks? Pigment got trapped in layers your skincare can’t reach.

✔ Rough texture? Your skin’s renewal process slowed down, leaving uneven patches.

💡If your skincare isn’t working, it’s because it never had a chance.

Exfoliation & Peels Only Speed Up Shedding—They Don’t Actually Repair Damage

Scrubs, acids, and chemical peels only remove dead skin from the top layer. They might make your skin look brighter, but they don’t rebuild the missing collagen your scars need.

Think of it this way: if you scratch your car, washing it won’t fix the dent. You need something that works beneath the surface —where real healing happens.

Doctors and dermatologists swear by microneedling for acne scars because it forces your skin to rebuild collagen. But here’s what they don’t always tell you:

❌ It’s painful. You’re literally puncturing your skin with hundreds of needles.

❌ It’s expensive. Clinics charge £200-£500 per session —and you need multiple.

❌ It’s risky. Done incorrectly, microneedling can cause infections, hyperpigmentation, and even more scarring.

So what if you could get the same results—without a single needle?

My acne scars have faded and my pores are a lot smaller after the second treatment. My skin looks glowy and for the first time I love how my skin looks and I don’t feel like I have to put makeup on everyday.I feel so much more confident. I would 100% recommend!!!

My skin was absolutely glowing ✨

I cannot believe how my skin felt after this treatment. The glow was just amazing. The instructions are so easy to follow. I had minimal redness for 24hours. I actually liked that my skin felt almost tight after because I know the products had actually done something.
