Acne scars

Acne scars are changes in texture that remain after an acne breakout heals. They may appear as small indentations, broader depressions or raised areas.

What it is

Acne can leave indented or raised scars after a breakout has healed. Flat red or brown marks are different from scars that change the skin's texture, although both can occur together. Makeup can help disguise colour differences, but it does not remove scarring or smooth away permanent changes in texture.

Our formulas are designed to hydrate the skin and support the skin barrier.

A few facts

  • Not every breakout leaves a scar.

  • Flat marks left after acne are usually colour changes rather than true scars. Such marks often fade by themselves over the course of months, and sun protection helps prevent them from getting darker.

  • Different scar types may need different approaches. A dermatologist can help identify which type you have.

Build coverage around your needs

Aspilon Foundation provides buildable medium-to-full coverage for visible colour differences, including marks around healed acne scars. If redness is your main concern, Aspilon CC Cream can be used as a lighter base. These are cosmetic coverage products, not treatments for active acne or scarring.

How to apply

  1. Prepare without friction

    Start with clean, intact skin and your usual skincare. Allow it to settle before applying makeup; avoid open or picked areas.

  2. Apply a light layer

    Blend a small amount of Aspilon Foundation over the areas you want to even out. Use Aspilon CC Cream first only if you want a base for visible redness.

  3. Refine the finish

    Press additional Aspilon Foundation onto individual marks with a clean damp sponge. Keep layers thin around textured areas and blend the edges.
