About Acne & Dark Spots
Acne and dark spots are common skincare concerns that can occur at different stages of life. Acne can appear when pores become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and other factors, while the marks left behind after breakouts may remain visible even after the original blemish has healed.
Post-acne marks are not always the same as acne scars. Some marks appear as areas of darker pigmentation after inflammation, while acne scars can involve changes in the texture or structure of the skin. Understanding the difference can help you choose a more appropriate skincare approach.
The HerStore Acne & Dark Spots blog category brings together educational content covering acne-prone skin, dark spots, post-acne marks, skincare ingredients, product selection, and everyday routines. The goal is to help Sri Lankan shoppers understand their skin concerns before choosing products.

FAQ
What are dark spots after acne?
Dark spots can develop after an acne breakout as the skin responds to inflammation. These marks are often referred to as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and can remain visible after the original blemish has healed.
Are acne scars and dark spots the same?
No. Dark spots are changes in skin colour or pigmentation, while acne scars can involve changes to the skin’s texture or structure. The appropriate approach can therefore be different depending on whether you are dealing with pigmentation or an actual scar.
What skincare ingredients are commonly used for acne and dark spots?
Commonly used ingredients include Niacinamide, Vitamin C, Azelaic Acid, Salicylic Acid, and Retinoids. Different ingredients serve different purposes and may not be suitable for every skin type, so check the individual product information before use.
How should I build a skincare routine for acne-prone skin?
A simple routine can begin with a suitable cleanser, moisturiser, and daytime sunscreen, with targeted treatments added gradually according to your main concern.
