Acne Serum with Salicylic Acid & Niacinamide — for Breakouts, Acne Marks and Scars

The Skin Matters Scar Repairing Serum is a lightweight, dermatologist-formulated acne serum that does two things: it helps clear the clogged pores that cause breakouts, and it fades the dark marks and uneven texture acne leaves behind. Formulated by Dr. Attiya Tareen for Pakistani and South Asian skin, it combines salicylic acid, niacinamide, zinc PCA and hyaluronic acid, the ingredient pairing dermatologists most often recommend for oily, acne-prone skin.

Why This Serum Suits Acne-Prone Pakistani Skin

Darker skin tones, including most Pakistani skin, are prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH): every pimple can leave a brown or black mark that lasts for months. Heat, humidity and dust also mean more oil and more clogged pores. This serum tackles both problems at once, treating active acne while fading marks, without the heavy, greasy feel that makes breakouts worse in summer.

Key Ingredients

• Salicylic Acid — oil-soluble exfoliant that gets inside pores to clear blackheads, whiteheads and breakouts
• Niacinamide — reduces redness and oil, strengthens the skin barrier and fades dark marks
• Zinc PCA — helps regulate sebum and calm inflamed skin
• Hyaluronic Acid — hydrates without oil so actives do not leave skin tight, and helps texture look smoother
• Aloe Vera — soothes redness and irritated skin
• Witch Hazel — natural astringent that tightens the look of pores

Benefits

• ✅ Helps clear active acne and prevent new breakouts
• ✅ Visibly fades acne marks and dark spots in 4–6 weeks with daily SPF
• ✅ Controls excess oil and shine
• ✅ Improves overall skin texture and smoothness
• ✅ Lightweight, non-comedogenic formula — suits oily skin in summer
