One unfortunate thing about acne is that even after a breakout clears up, it doesn’t always result in clear skin. You can still be left with noticeable reminders of your zitty day in the form of dark marks, uneven texture, and redness.
It’s frustrating, every time you look in the mirror. You did everything you were supposed to do to tame your acne — you didn’t pick, you used the right products — and your skin still isn’t fully clear. Why isn’t it working?
Why is this happening?
Acne scars are caused, as you might expect, by the acne blemishes you’ve already defeated. Your body did its job, responding to all the inflammation and skin damage by producing more cells to help heal the wounds.
Unfortunately, sometimes your body works too well, making too many cells. When it produces too much collagen, you end up with a raised scar. When it makes too much melanin, you end up with a dark spot. And sometimes the damage goes so deep it leaves a divot in your skin.
That’s why your uneven skin and dark spots aren’t responding to your usual acne treatment: Your body put them there itself. But you can help fade post-acne spots and smooth your skin’s texture with skin-clearing ingredients like Niacinamide.
What is Niacinamide?
Niacinamide is a form of Vitamin B3 — an essential nutrient your body needs to function. This version of the vitamin is one that’s absorbed through the skin, usually as part of a lotion or serum, to deliver its restorative benefits right where you need them.
And it has a lot of benefits to deliver. Niacinamide is known to:
• Reduce redness and inflammation to help avoid marks and scars in the first place.
• Reduce oil production to help prevent other breakouts and help your pores look smaller.
• Stimulate collagen production, helping your skin produce just the right amount of collagen to smooth the texture.
• Support your skin barrier, keeping the moisture in and the irritants out.
Which all sounds great, but you might still have the question:
What about my skin? Can Niacinamide help with my acne scars and dark spots — the ones I’m starting to worry might be there forever?
Will it actually work?
Niacinamide, especially when it’s used in combination with other skin-saving ingredients, can visibly improve frustrating post-acne imperfections. PanOxyl’s Blemish Aftercare Brightening Patches deliver our Spot Fading Complex, which combines Niacinamide with Tranexamic Acid and Vitamin C to help visibly smooth and brighten your skin and fade dark marks.
The patches are a great way to enjoy the effects of the Spot Fading Complex practically overnight. With regular use, you could start to see results in just three days, and visible improvement in just 10 days. And our formula plays well with others — it doesn’t cause a reaction when it’s used with other skin-clearing ingredients, so you can safely add the patches to the end of your usual nighttime skincare routine. No worries, just a dermatologist-recommended complex helping to clear your skin imperfections while you sleep.
