Pimples are gone, but the spots remain? Post-acne marks often appear as a result of skin blemishes. They manifest as reddish or brownish discolourations of the skin, making the complexion appear uneven. The good news: You can visibly reduce post-acne marks and restore radiance to your skin.
Pimple marks can develop in different ways:
Reddish marks (PIE - post-inflammatory erythema) occur when the fine blood vessels remain dilated after an blemish - usually on the face, décolleté or skin on the back.
They are particularly common if pimples have been squeezed or the skin has been more severely damaged. UV radiation can also intensify skin discoloration and make it more difficult to remove. Unlike acne scars, pimple marks are not indentations or unevenness, but flat discolorations of the skin surface.
Dark pimple marks (PIH - post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation), on the other hand, are caused by increased melanin production as a result of irritation - often on the face, décolleté or back.
To effectively treat post-acne marks, you need the right ingredients. The Brightening Complex in our Liquid Illuminator radiant tøday combines proven active ingredients that specifically target skin discoloration and support skin regeneration:
During skin regeneration, damaged cells are replaced by new ones – this allows the skin to recover from impurities, redness, or small injuries after pimple extraction. The regenerating and soothing active ingredients in our products, such as niacinamide, allantoin, tiger grass, or SpreeØne®, support this process by stimulating cell renewal, alleviating irritation, and strengthening the skin barrier. This way, your complexion can become more even.
Liquid Illuminator – radiant tøday:A liquid with a brightening complex of tranexamic acid, kojic acid, and niacinamides for a more even skin tone and more glow. Use the Liquid Illuminator in your skincare routine before your serums.

Acne marks don't have to be permanent. With the right products and active ingredients, you can specifically care for your skin and balance the appearance of skin discoloration. Focus on targeted care, sun protection, and a little patience – for visibly balanced skin and a more even complexion.
Pimple marks are dark or reddish spots that remain after skin impurities have subsided. They usually occur after squeezing pimples.
While makeup can visually cover up acne marks, it shouldn't further burden the skin. Opt for light, non-comedogenic formulations that won't clog pores. Especially during regeneration, it's important to choose products that can be gently combined with your skincare routine – without disrupting the regeneration process. And very important: don't forget to remove your makeup!
If you use non-comedogenic products and thoroughly remove your make-up in the evening, you don't need to worry.
Depending on skin type and the intensity of the discoloration, acne marks can fade after a few weeks to several months – targeted skin care often speeds up the process.
Active ingredients such as tranexamic acid, kojic acid, niacinamide or allantoin can support skin regeneration and visibly reduce pigment spots.
Blemish marks are flat discolorations of the skin, while acne scars are depressions or raised areas in the tissue.
