Your Concerns

Acne & Bumps

On skin of colour, the concern is rarely the breakout alone, it is the dark mark it leaves behind. Acne, razor bumps, and ingrown hairs all trigger the same cycle: inflammation, then pigmentation, then frustration. Breaking the cycle starts with understanding both the cause and the skin's response. Each guide below addresses a specific concern as it affects melanin-rich skin.
01.

Acne in darker skin

Acne on melanin-rich skin carries an extra challenge: the post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that follows almost every breakout. Learn how to treat the acne and prevent the marks at the same time.

02.

Acne scarring

Pitted and textured scarring from past breakouts can be improved, but on skin of colour the approach needs to account for PIH and keloid risk. Understand the types and what helps.

03.

Razor bumps

Pseudofolliculitis barbae ingrown hairs that curl back and inflame the skin is especially common in curly and coiled hair types. Learn why it happens and how to manage it without making it worse.

04.

Ingrown hairs

Closely related to razor bumps but not the same. Ingrown hairs can occur anywhere hair is removed and frequently leave dark marks on deeper skin tones. Prevention is simpler than you might think.

05.

Keratosis pilaris

Small, rough bumps often on the upper arms, thighs, or cheeks caused by keratin plugging hair follicles. Harmless but common, and the marks they leave can be more visible on darker skin.
