Understanding Your Skin
What Causes Acne Marks, Dark Spots & Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation occurs when the skin produces excess melanin — the pigment responsible for skin colour. This can be triggered by acne inflammation, sun exposure, hormonal changes (melasma) or skin injury. The result is dark patches, uneven tone and marks that can persist for months or years.
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from acne is particularly common — the red or brown marks left behind after a spot heals, even when the original blemish was relatively mild. These marks are not scars in the traditional sense, but discolouration in the upper layers of the skin.
Standard skincare products struggle because they work only on the surface. The Skin Culture Peel works differently — it removes the damaged, pigmented outer skin layers entirely, revealing the fresh, evenly-toned skin beneath.

Questions About This Concern
Treating Acne Marks & Hyperpigmentation
Yes. The Skin Culture Peel is safe and effective on all skin tones — from very fair to very dark. It does not bleach or lighten the skin permanently. It removes the pigmented, damaged outer skin layer to reveal the naturally even-toned skin beneath. We have many customers with darker skin tones who have achieved excellent results.
Most customers see visible improvement within the 6-day treatment itself. The full extent of the improvement continues to develop in the days and weeks following the treatment as the new skin settles and brightens. For deep or long-standing hyperpigmentation, a second treatment may be recommended.
For moderate hyperpigmentation and acne marks, the Peel 3000 is our most popular choice. For deep, long-standing pigmentation, melasma or severe acne scarring, we recommend the Peel 4000. Our skin assessment quiz will help identify the best starting point for your specific concern.
During the 6-day treatment, you should avoid applying any other skincare products until the peeling is complete. After treatment, our Skin Care Kit 1 is specifically formulated to maintain and extend your results — it contains a glycolic gel that provides a gentle ongoing peel every 60 days of use.
