Acne scars, on the other hand, involve skin indentation or raised, keloid-type lesions, resulting in an uneven skin surface. In other words, acne marks present as mild skin changes or pigmentation after acne resolves, whereas acne scars involve damage extending into the dermal layer and cannot fully recover with routine skin care alone.
