If you’ve ever suffered from acne, you’ll know that getting rid of the spots themselves is only half the battle. Even once your breakout has cleared up, you can still be left with scarring and redness in the area which can be tricky to get rid of.
However, TikTokers have been going wild for one beauty product that they say ‘actually works’ when it comes to reducing the appearance of scarring. Glow Hub’s Scar Slayer Facial Serum, £14 here, has been lauded as a saviour for scarred and pigmented skin, with countless videos racking up millions of views as users show off the results after using it.
The Scar Slayer Serum is made up of a combination of tranexamic acid and vitamin C which work together to help get rid of telltale scarring and discolouration. The duo of ingredients work to protect your skin against free radicals whilst evening your skin tone and brightening up your complexion.
Both ingredients help with targeting pigmentation and dark spots whilst also clarifying your skin and smoothing out texture. It also contains a probiotic blend that helps to keep your skin looking and feeling healthy and conditioned, adding to the smoothing and glow-boosting effect.
You can use the serum in both your morning and evening routine, but Glow Hub suggests you get the best results when you use it in your AM routine before following up with your favourite moisturiser. As with any vitamin C based product, it’s best to introduce the Scar Slayer into your routine slowly, particularly if you have sensitive skin. Start by using it once a week then gradually increase how often you use it until your skin feels comfortable with daily use.
If you want to layer the Scar Slayer with some of your other serums and products, you can also combine it with hyaluronic acide and polyglutamic acid for help hydrate dull, dry skin. It also plays well with barrier-building products to help give your skin some extra support – perfect for sensitive, damaged complexions that need a little extra love.
Shoppers have also been raving about the product, with one saying: “Really love this product. Haven’t been using for long but can already notice a difference in my skin. A lovely texture and doesn’t feel sticky or greasy. I use this with the hydration hero and they work well together.”
Another wrote: “I brought this 4 weeks ago but was really sceptic as I’ve used other acne scar treatments before like bio oil and others. But none have worked. At first this really gave me a lot of breakouts but then my skin got used to it. I used it am+pm everyday and by week 2 I could already see such a massive difference. I took pictures every week of my skin and the difference is actually insane. I recommend this to all my friends. Don’t hesitate and just buy it.”
A third said: “Didn’t believe how well it worked until I tried it. Doesn’t irritate my skin and has helped with scarring.” Whilst someone else added: “Fades scars so fast.”
On one TikTok video, one commenter said: “If this product isn’t working for y’all I found the ordinary azeliac acid helped so much with my acne scarring!” You can pick up The Ordinary’s Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% Cream, £11.10 here, at LookFantastic.
