At-Home Scar Treatments

Lighteners

Lighteners are going to be a huge asset in minimizing the appearance of scars. Ingredients in lighteners, like Hydroquinone, help with hyperpigmentation and reduce scarring. Although Hydroquinone is an effective lightening agent, some types of skin are sensitive to it, so you might want to forego it for botanical lightening agents or Kojic Acid.

Adding lighteners to your skincare routine (with or without scarring), will keep discoloration and hyperpigmentation at bay while leaving you with a more even, bright skin tone. 

Skin Saint Recommendations:

• HQ 2% Lightening Pads
• Illumibright Pads (can add RX strength Hydroquinone)
• Phyto‑Fade Noquinone Cream

Triple Action Acne Pads

You don’t have to go to the spa for a peel (though I definitely recommend it!). Using products with high concentrations of Glycolic acid can result in peeling of the top layer of the skin. This is beneficial if you have scarring, as it can minimize the appearance, help fade them and leave you with fresher, brighter new skin. 

Peels work beneath the skin to help with cell turnover and promote new skin growth. You’ll notice not only a reduction in scarring but less noticeable fine lines, wrinkles, and discoloration. Use these products as directed so you don’t over‑irritate your skin!

Skin Saint Recommendations:

• Triple Action Acne Pads

Stem Cells

Rebuild your skin from the inside out with stem cells. Through regenerative healing, stem cells can minimize the appearance of scars and refresh your skin on a cellular level. They’re also amazing for reversing signs of aging and protecting against environmental damage. You’ll be left with smooth, refreshed skin, a brighter complexion, and even texture. 

Skin Saint Recommendations:

• StemCell Corrective Cream (available in the Revive Complete Set)
