10 Best Korean Beauty Products for Acne Scars

Tackle dark spots and unevenness with these K-Beauty favourites!

Anyone who’s suffered from post-acne hyperpigmentation will agree that acne marks suck, sometimes even more than acne itself. These annoying brown or red marks can last up to weeks, and sometimes, if you’re unlucky, even months! Fortunately, these Korean beauty products do a great job of fading those marks, while evening out your skin tone at the same time:

The $27 serum is formulated with 95% galactomyces ferment filtrate (think SK-II’s famous FTE) that does not only hydrate the skin, but also helps brighten uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation. Plus, if you’re looking for that extra boost of glow, this is the perfect essence for you.

The ol’ lemon juice trick got nothing on this Vitamin C serum! Formulated with only 10 essential ingredients, this serum brightens dark spots in no time at all. Vitamin tree water also helps hydrate and restore suppleness back to dull, depleted skin.

If you are new to the (game-changing) Vitamin C game, you can start slow with the Klairs Vitamin C serum, which contains only 5% ascorbic acid to fade brown spots, without causing any irritation. Sensitive skin types would also enjoy this milder formulation too!

Arlene Clery Rynjah June 30, 2020

I had a sunburn 5yrs back and now it’s becoming darker and darker day by day, my skin looks is soo dull, I even suffer with pimples, it’s really very sensitive… I’ve tried many creams and had spent so much money on dermatologists but nothing works. Please advice since I have good faith in Korean skin products since Korea is popular known for skin treatments.
