Introduction
If post-acne marks are caused by inflammation and the symptoms are mild, following medical advice to use asiaticoside cream can generally remove the marks. Asiaticoside cream helps reduce inflammatory reactions and promotes skin repair, thereby fading acne scars. However, if the post-acne marks are related to factors such as improper diet, environmental irritation, or endocrine disorders, and the condition is more severe, using asiaticoside cream alone may not be sufficient for complete removal.
In general, whether Cica-Vanishing Cream can remove acne marks depends on the cause and severity of the marks. Mild acne marks caused by inflammation can usually be removed with Cica-Vanishing Cream. However, deeper pigmented marks resulting from non-inflammatory factors may not be effectively treated with this cream.
If acne marks are due to inflammation and the condition is mild, following a doctor's instructions in using Cica-Vanishing Cream typically helps eliminate the marks. The cream reduces inflammatory responses and promotes skin repair, thereby fading acne scars.
If acne marks are related to improper diet, environmental irritants, hormonal imbalances, or other factors, and the condition is severe, using Cica-Vanishing Cream alone may not be sufficient. It is recommended that patients undergo glycolic acid peeling treatment under medical supervision. This treatment uses high-concentration glycolic acid to promote the shedding of aged keratinocytes, improving skin texture. The typical reference cost for glycolic acid peeling is 800–2,000 RMB per session, with visible improvement usually appearing within 2–3 weeks. However, possible side effects include allergic reactions or burns.
It is also important to maintain a balanced diet, ensure adequate sleep, and avoid spicy or greasy foods to support skin recovery.
