Red acne marks on the face can be treated with laser therapy or chemical peels (e.g., glycolic acid peels), both of which help fade post-acne hyperpigmentation. Glycolic acid peels utilize high-concentration alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) to rapidly exfoliate the stratum corneum. In addition to lightening acne marks, they also improve overall skin texture and tighten pores. During the recovery period, avoid spicy or irritating foods and minimize the use of makeup.
