Fixing Stubborn Acne Scars With Cream is Like Watering Dead Plants—Here’s What Actually Works

By Molly Richards

Last Update Feb 15, 2025

You wouldn’t expect a dead plant to grow just by adding water. So why are you expecting serumsand creams to fix stubborn acne scars? Here’s why they don’t work—and what does.

Your Skin Needs More Than Just Moisture—It Needs to Rebuild Itself

Most acne scar products claim to “repair” or “fade” scars, but all they really do is hydrate and soften the skin. That might make your scars look a little smoother, but it doesn’t actually fix the damage underneath.

Scars form when your skin fails to produce enough (or too much) collagen during healing. A serum can’t replace lost collagen—it’s like watering dry leaves instead of fixing the roots.

Exfoliating Is Just Like Peeling Paint—It Removes, But It Doesn’t Rebuild

Scrubs, acids, and chemical peels only remove dead skin on the surface —but acne scars go much deeper than that.

If your walls were cracked, would you keep peeling off the paint and expect them to fix themselves? No. You’d fill in the cracks first. That’s what your skin needs— collagen, not just exfoliation.

Microneedling forces your skin to rebuild itself by creating tiny injuries —kind of like tearing a muscle so it grows back stronger.

But here’s the issue:

❌ It’s painful—hundreds of needles puncture your skin in one session.

❌ It’s expensive—one session costs £200+, and you need multiple.

❌ It’s risky—if done incorrectly, it can cause infections or make scars worse.

So what if you could get the same collagen-boosting benefits—without the damage.

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!!!

Mollie,

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.

2. Skin may start peeling after 3-4 days, with new skin becoming visible around day 6.
