You fought the breakout — but now you’re left with stubborn dark spots that just won’t go away. Post-acne marks (also called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) are one of the most common skin concerns, especially for Indian skin, which is more prone to pigmentation.
The good news? With the right science-backed ingredients and a consistent routine, you can fade these marks safely — without harsh treatments that damage your skin.
At Vinr, we’ve formulated products with proven actives like Niacinamide, Vitamin C, Retinol, and Rice Water — trusted by dermatologists worldwide for fading spots and restoring an even tone.
🔍 Why Do Post-Acne Marks Happen?
-
Inflammation from acne → triggers excess melanin production
-
Picking or squeezing pimples → increases risk of dark spots
-
Sun exposure → darkens existing marks
-
Skin type factor → Indian and melanin-rich skin are more prone to pigmentation
