Can Acne Scars Go Away? - Acne Scar Treatment Using HOCl and Other Skin Care Products

Everyone gets skin acne at one point in their lives. However, if acne develops into scars that last months, causing pimples and inflammatory spots, it’s considered chronic. But can acne scars go away? 

Acne scars manifest in brownish or reddish spots that last up to 12 months. Naturally, these scars should fade gradually and go away between two to six weeks from their initial appearance. The scars may persist because of high humidity, hormonal changes, stress, genetics, or greasy personal care products. 

You can use a Revitalizing Mist to treat acne scars effectively at home. Keep reading to know the causes of acne scars and the successful treatment options we recommend. 

How Do Acne Scars Form? 

Acne scars form when the body’s immune system breaks down an affected area in the skin. This process can be in the form of: 

Inflammation

Inflammation is caused by a type of white blood cell called neutrophils, which are part of the body's defense system. They travel along the skin surface and attack any bacteria or dead cells found in the pore to prevent their spread further into the dermis.

If neutrophils remain in the pore for too long, they can cause scarring by increasing collagen deposition around the wound. Clinically, this is known as milia. However, acne scars are not always associated with milia. Therefore, it's worth contacting a dermatologist for a skin biopsy to gauge the possibilities of skin lesions since they may be a culprit. A Revitalizing Mist contains an anti-inflammatory formula that helps skin breakages to prevent acne. 

Remodeling 

Skin remodeling is caused by collagen fibers which support and strengthen the skin. When you develop acne scars, collagen fibers break down due to increased inflammation (or decreased collagen production) in the pore. This breakdown replaces the collagen fiber with scar tissues by making the collagen thicker until it breaks into a scar. The cycle can continue numerous times for skins prone to acne scars. 

Acne Scar Treatment Using HOCl 

Dermatologists and skin care professionals have been using Hocl for years to treat scars and blemishes on our clients. You apply this cream to your skin and leave it to rest for several minutes. It will then infiltrate the pores and effectively fade scars and other acne marks. 



Hocl is made from natural ingredients that are safe for use on the skin. It doesn't contain any chemicals; hence ideal for sensitive skins or skins allergic to other creams. The best part is that Hocl suits men, women, and children over three years. 

Besides treating acne, Hocl treats psoriasis, eczema, burns, wounds, and many other skin conditions. In addition, it relaxes muscles strained due to injury or surgery. You can find Hocl in different compositions, including gels, ointments, lotions, and patches. The formulation we use depends on the type of application and the concentration of active ingredients present in it. Revitalizing Mist contains a certain percentage of Hocl necessary for curing Mist and any diseases mentioned above. 

How to Use Hocl to Fade and Heal Acne Scars

Hocl comes in two forms: a 1% and a 2% solution. Most Revitalizing Mists contain the second option. Dermatologists use these two solutions interchangeably, starting with the stronger one. Doing so ensures we first reach out and break the stubborn collagen fibers that lurk inside the pores. 

Step 1: Wash your face with warm water

You must wash your face with warm water and a gentle cleanser. You can use the same cleanser you use for your facial routine. Then, pat your face dry using a clean towel.   

Step 2: Apply the Cream 

Smear a thin layer of Hocl cream on the entire face, avoiding the eyes and mouth. Also, avoid getting it into your nose, as it may harm your sinuses. 

Step 3: Allow the cream to dry

Rest the cream for about 15 minutes or until it dries completely. Do not rinse or wipe off any of the products from your face. If you have any redness or irritation, wait 10 minutes and then reapply more Hocl to the area where you feel uncomfortable.

Step 4: Cleanse the Skin 

After 15 minutes, remove any remaining Hocl by gently wiping it away with a cotton ball or tissue paper. This will help reduce any irritation caused by the product as well as help prevent further breakouts in that area. If you have any redness or irritation, wait another 10 minutes and then reapply more Hocl to the irritating area. Finally, leave the cream to dry and wipe it.

Step 5: Repeat the Process

Repeat the steps above every night until you no longer see acne breakouts or blackheads on your skin. This process may take a few weeks, depending on your hormonal balance and how your body reacts to the formula. 

Acne Scar Treatment Using Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are one of the most common skin treatments your dermatologist may recommend. These techniques have other uses in medical settings, including plastic surgery and reconstructive surgery.

Chemical peels remove damaged or dead skin cells, creating new, healthy ones that can help the appearance of your skin. The goal is to improve the appearance of your skin but under strict supervision from a certified dermatologist. 

Chemical peels use a mixture of acids to remove layers of dead skin cells and slough off the top layer of the epidermis. The acid also dissolves the superficial stratum corneum, or SC (the dead outer layers). This allows it to absorb more water and become softer, which can help with acne.

There are two types of peels: superficial and deep. Superficial peels are the ones you can get at most salons, and they work by destroying skin cells from the outside in. The deeper peels involve using a series of microdermabrasion machines to remove skin cells from the inside out. They're usually used for more severe cases but can also be effective for acne scarring or pigmentation issues.

Other Treatments for Acne Scars

Besides Revitalizing Mist, here are two popular acne treatment solutions you can use:

Medical therapies: Medications may help reduce the look of acne scars. Our dermatologist will treat your acne with antibiotics, corticosteroids, and retinoids. We may also recommend the best course of treatment based on your symptoms and any medical conditions you have, such as diabetes or high blood pressure.

Surgical procedures: If scarring is severe or extensive, your doctor may suggest surgery to improve the appearance of your scarring (called fractional resurfacing). This procedure removes just enough healthy skin to enhance the appearance without cutting into deeper layers of tissue or muscle. The goal is to try to keep most of what was removed (the "fraction") while improving how it looks (the "surgery").

Getting Help from a Professional Skin Care Expert 

Don't rush to buy any facial. It's tempting to buy into the idea of a quick fix or miracle treatment, but most of us don't need it. While a Revitalizing Mist will solve 80% of your acne problem, not all skin problems result from acne. You may be developing adverse skin disease like skin cancer that needs immediate care. Luckily, there’s no shortage of skin care experts who can help. If your problem persists, seek qualified medical attention from a dermatologist.
