What Causes Acne Scars and How to Help Prevent and Manage Scarring

Acne occurs when the pores of the skin become clogged with dead skin cells, oil, or bacteria. This blockage leads to the formation of pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, or cysts and can scar if the deeper layers of the skin are damaged.1 A good skincare routine and appropriate treatment through your dermatologist, can help you to manage acne breakouts and reduce the potential for scarring, promoting healthier-looking skin.2

What are acne scars?

There are three main types of acne scars: ice pick scars, rolling scars, and boxcar scars.3 These scars can vary in appearance and may require different acne treatments for improvement:3,4


  • Ice pick scars are small, deep holes, or pits, that resemble the marks left by an ice pick or a needle. They are characterized by narrow openings that extend into the deeper layers of the skin.
  • Rolling scars have a wavy or rolling appearance and give the skin an uneven texture.
  • Boxcar scars are broad, rectangular, or oval depressions with well-defined edges. Boxcar scars often have sharp, vertical sides and resemble small craters or indentations on the skin's surface.

Acne can also cause dark spots called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). PIH occurs due to an overproduction of melanin in response to inflammation caused by acne, and while not technically ‘acne scars’ they are often mistaken for scarring. These spots appear as flat areas of increased pigmentation that can range in color from pink or red to brown or black. Unlike scars, PIH does not involve changes in the texture or contour of the skin, and they tend to fade over time.1

What causes acne scars and dark spots?

Acne scarring can sometimes have a genetic component that makes an individual more prone to developing scars.5 To help minimize the chances of acne scarring and dark spots, you might want to follow two key practices


Firstly, implement the right skincare routine. Developing a proper skincare routine includes using appropriate cleansers and moisturizers that suit your skin type, and using acne-fighting products recommended by your dermatologist. This can help reduce breakouts and manage your acne, reducing the chances of developing dark spots and scarring.2 Please refer to our article Getting Started on a Skincare Routine, if you haven’t yet established a skincare routine that suits your skin type.


Secondly, it is crucial to resist the temptation of picking, squeezing, or popping acne lesions. Picking or popping spots can cause damage to the skin, prolong the healing process, and increase the risk of inflammation and scarring.5 It is essential to let acne scars heal naturally.

Skincare routine to help reduce appearance of dark spots

When it comes to helping reduce the appearance of dark spots from acne or preventing hyperpigmentation, there are some products you can incorporate into your skincare routine.


Using sunscreen is essential for all skin types, not only for acne-prone skin. Sun exposure can exacerbate pigmentation irregularities, lead to dark spots and darken existing spots. Using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (SPF) can help protect the skin from harmful UV rays and minimize the risk of hyperpigmentation.7 Cetaphil offers a range of sunscreens that provide effective sun protection without clogging pores.


Exfoliation is another useful technique to reduce the appearance of dark spots.6 By removing dead skin cells with a gentle exfoliator, such as Cetaphil Healthy Radiance Gentle PHA Exfoliating Cleanser, you can help promote surface cell turnover and help fade the visible signs of hyperpigmentation.


In addition, certain ingredients have been found to be beneficial in addressing dark spots. Niacinamide is a well-known ingredient that helps to romote a more even skin tone.8 Antioxidants such as vitamin C can also aid in brightening the skin and reducing the appearance of dark spots.7 Cetaphil Healthy Radiance Antioxidant-C Serum contains both niacinamide and antioxidants to help improve your skin's appearance and reduce the appearance of dark spots.


Skincare routine to help prevent acne scars

Establishing a consistent skincare routine tailored to acne-prone skin can help manage and minimize acne breakouts, ultimately reducing the chances of scarring occurring.2 For more detailed information, you can refer to our article What Causes Acne and How to Manage it.


In addition, Cetaphil offers a range of products that can help manage your acne breakouts, such as Cetaphil Gentle Clear products. These products are tailored to target and prevent breakouts, while being gentle on the skin.


When choosing skincare products, it is important to look for formulations that won’t clog your pores and that reduce the risk of further breakouts, such as Cetaphil Acne Relief Body Wash and Cetaphil Gentle Clear Mattifying Acne Moisturizer.


How to get rid of acne scars?

If acne scarring, such as ice pick scars, rolling scars, and boxcar scars, has already occurred, there are various treatments available to help reduce their appearance. These treatments are typically performed by dermatologists or skincare specialists, including exfoliation, laser therapy, punch excision, and subcision.


You may also want to try out Differin, a range of products that help reduce appearance of acne scars and dark spots. Differin Dark Spot Correcting Serum utilizes clinically proven technology to gently diminish the appearance of dark spots and discolorations, while helping to prevent new spots from forming. Differin Resurfacing Scar Gel is specifically designed to minimize the appearance of post-acne scars while visibly improve the texture of rough and uneven skin.


However, it's important to consult with a dermatologist to determine the most suitable treatment option based on your individual skin type and scar characteristics. The time it takes for acne scars to fade will vary depending on various factors, including the severity of your scars, your skin type, and the treatment methods used. It may take several months or more for acne scars to fade significantly.

The bottom line

Understanding the underlying causes of different types of acne scars and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can help you find appropriate skincare products options. Dermatologists can also provide you with valuable insights and recommend appropriate treatments to achieve desired results.

According to the International Forum for the Study of Itch (IFSI) the definition of sensitive skin is “a syndrome defined by the occurrence of unpleasant sensations (stinging, burning, pain, pruritus, and tingling</p><p>sensations) in response to stimuli that normally should not provoke such sensations. These</p><p>unpleasant sensations cannot be explained by lesions attributable to any skin disease. The skin can appear normal or be accompanied by erythema.”(1)</p><p><br></p><p>Usually, people with sensitive skin react badly to the chemicals, fragrances, and dyes often found in many skincare products (or other products that come into contact with their skin, such as detergents). Redness, dryness, and a weakened skin barrier as a result of these reactions typically</p><p>indicate signs of skin sensitivity. Clothing itself can also be a cause; friction or certain fabrics can create irritation. Likewise, a person’s allergies to other substances, such as laundry detergents, could also be a cause of sensitive skin.</p><p><br></p><p>However, an alternative reason for sensitive skin could be due to the person’s health — Sensitive skin could be a symptom of an underlying medical or health condition.</p>", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#5E656B" } }, { "id" : "812bfb852d7c1b0a5bbbbe8dc8", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "40" } }, { "id" : "af3f35a1930f2763ec479f1c98", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<h2>Five Common Signs of Skin Sensitivity</h2>", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#004987" } }, { "id" : "6a92a79613022635a8bc251ce9", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { } }, { "id" : "c9e8fdfa8503e2fb173dffe9d8", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<p>Below are common signs of skin sensitivity which can point you in the right direction:</p>", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#5E656B" } }, { "id" : "8e88c45a7842175af53faa8296", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "20" } }, { "id" : "ae5757a423c683329f66b7c13b", "type_id" : "commerce_layouts.accordion", "data" : { "bgColor" : false }, "regions" : [ { "id" : "accordionMenu", "components" : [ { "id" : "b7c5f118606e190dca03ba3b8f", "type_id" : "commerce_layouts.accordionPanel", "data" : { "showDefault" : false, "iconText" : "1", "heading" : "Dryness", "collapsibleID" : "Dryness" }, "regions" : [ { "id" : "accordionPanels", "components" : [ { "id" : "334b97225a76befaa6626090b4", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.accordionImageAndText", "data" : { "layout" : "Vertical", "image" : { "path" : "128x128-icons-12.png", "focal_point" : { "x" : 0.5, "y" : 0.5 }, "meta_data" : { "height" : 128, "width" : 128 } }, "stretchImage" : false, "textAlign" : "Left", "alt" : "dryness", "imageQualityDropdown" : "Accordion", "theme" : "Dark Text, No BG", "text" : "<p>Dry skin can feel rough, tight or itchy.

As well as protecting your skin, tocopherol is both an emollient and a humectant. Humectants hydrate the outer layer of skin by drawing water from deeper layers or from the air. Tocopherol’s emollient properties mean that it also provides a film of moisture around the skin and softens it. Together, these features of tocopherol make it a powerful ingredient in Cetaphil lotions, such as <a data-product-id=\"302993914280\" data-link-label=\"302993914280\" data-link-type=\"product\" target=\"_self\" href=\"https://prod.cetaphil.com/moisturizers/advanced-radiance-lotion/302993914280.html\">Cetaphil Advanced Relief Lotion</a>.</p>", "headerClass" : false } }, { "id" : "0ef13793db0d97631c941946b2", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "45" } }, { "id" : "7d24edc37428fe294f2908fc01", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<h3>Shea Butter</h3>", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#004987" } }, { "id" : "87d2d809782f0d7b9c4113c92f", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "30" } }, { "id" : "801793c03db5edfb964d401f24", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<p><a data-content-page-id=\"shea-butter\" data-link-label=\"Shea Butter\" data-link-type=\"page\" target=\"_self\" href=\"https://prod.cetaphil.com/our-ingredients/shea-butter.html\">Shea butter</a> has been used for centuries for skin care due to its light consistency which soothes the skin.

A pH of 7 (that of pure water) is considered neutral. Anything below that is acidic and above is alkaline, so, skin’s natural pH is mildly acidic.

However, not all these products contain the same type and concentration of hyaluronic acid, which means they have different effects on the skin. To achieve the results you desire, it’s important to consider some of these factors when choosing a skincare product:</p><p><br></p><h3>Alcohols</h3><p>When certain alcohols are in skincare products, they can counteract the moisturizing ability of hyaluronic acid. They can have a drying effect which can reduce the skin’s plumpness and even lead to cracks forming within the skin; this hinders the skin-boosting ability of hyaluronic acid.</p><p><br></p><p>Smaller concentrations of alcohol are better for products containing hyaluronic acid. Sometimes ingredients are listed in order of concentration but they can also be listed alphabetically.</p><p><br></p><h3>Fragrances</h3><p>Skincare products can sometimes contain added fragrances. For some skin types, these can lead to skin irritation. If you have a skin type that is sensitive to fragrances, consider <a href=\"https://prod.cetaphil.com/moisturizers/sheer-hydration-body-spray-moisturizer/302990117066.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"product\" data-link-label=\"302990117066\" data-product-id=\"302990117066\">Sheer Body Spray Moisturizer</a> for your body or <a href=\"https://prod.cetaphil.com/moisturizers/deep-hydration-48-hour-activation-serum/302990117004.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"product\" data-link-label=\"302990117004\" data-product-id=\"302990117004\">Deep Hydration 48 Hour Activation Serum</a> for your face.

This itch, known scientifically as pruritus hiemalis, is a type of skin inflammation or irritation triggered by cold weather, particularly in regions with low humidity and excessive indoor heating. \n</p>\n<br>\n<p>\nBut what causes dry skin in winter? Well, during the cold winter, the humidity drop and the weather is cold and our skin can become very dry. Then, when we put the heating on in our homes this removes moisture from the air and further dries out our skin. This compromises the skin barrier and can lead to itchy, dry, red, and scaly skin, sometimes even causing small cracks.<sup>1-4</sup>\n</p>\n</br>\n<p>\nWinter itch can affect anyone, but those with pre-existing dry skin conditions or people over 60 years of age are especially susceptible.<sup>1,3</sup> \n</p>\n</div>" } }, { "id" : "ca1bf2ffb191519f29468202d2", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { } }, { "id" : "fec527c8a545d174843e78891d", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { } }, { "id" : "6de2306382a43e1db1eccb35c7", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.htmlArea", "data" : { "htmlmarkup" : "<div style=\"color: #073275;\">\n<h3>How to stop itchy skin in cold weather</h3>\n</div>\n<div style=\"color: #5E656B;\">\n<p>\nTo combat and prevent itchy skin when weather changes, it's important to adapt your skincare routine to the challenges of the season.

Instead, try shorter, lukewarm baths or showers. You may also want to try soap-free cleansers to cleanse your skin gently and pat your skin dry rather than rub it dry. Once cleansed, immediately apply a moisturizer while it's still damp as this helps to lock in moisture.<sup>2,3</sup>\n</p>\n</br>\n<p>\n Additionally, be cautious of irritants like wool clothing, and contemplate using a humidifier in your bedroom to introduce moisture into the air.<sup>2</sup> It’s also important to not overlook the importance of sun protection, even in winter.
