Post-Breakout Fading Gel by Renée Rouleau helps to fade stubborn acne marks. Traditional blemishes usually last 5-7 days but the red, dark or purple scar leftover (made worse if you picked at it) can linger for weeks—or even months. This paraben-free gel uses powerful anti-inflammatories and mild exfoliating acids to fade and lighten dark marks, with continued use.

In our independent study, volunteers who tested the product found when they used Post-Breakout Fading Gel every day for 30 days, they got approximately a 50% quicker recovery than when using nothing at all. (When compared to blemishes that occurred at the same time, but were not treated with the product.)

Note: Fading results will vary based on severity of the blemish and intensity of picking. A blemish scar is caused from an injury to the skin so it does take a considerable amount of time to heal but this product will definitely encourage a quicker recovery.
