The Challenge of Treating Stubborn Acne Scars
Acne may come and go, but the marks it leaves behind often feel like they’re here to stay. If the scars are deep, textured, or darker than the surrounding skin, it’s completely normal to wonder, “Can old acne scars really fade?”
The honest answer? It’s not easy.
But with the right care, the appearance of long-standing acne scars can improve and your skin can look and feel healthier over time.
Do Long-Standing Acne Scars Still Need Treatment?
Absolutely! Acne scars form when inflammation damages deeper layers of the skin. Over time, the skin around the scar loses collagen and elasticity, making the marks look even more noticeable.
Even though old or stubborn acne scars are harder to treat than newer ones, they still benefit greatly from consistent care. Supporting skin regeneration can gradually soften their appearance and boost skin texture overall.
wund+™ Scar Gel: A Modern and Gentle Solution for Acne Scars

Developed and co‑formulated in Germany, wund+™ Scar Gel is designed to support skin recovery and improve the look of various types of scars—including acne scars, even those that have been around for years.
Here’s what makes it special:
Centella Reversa (Centella Asiatica Stem Cells)
This advanced plant stem cell ingredient helps protect your skin’s own stem cells while supporting collagen synthesis. Together, these processes improve elasticity and help refine the look of even stubborn, long-standing acne scars.
Medical-Grade Silicone
Clinically recognised as a gold-standard scar therapy. It prevents excessive scar tissue formation, reduces redness in newer scars, helps smooth the texture of older scars (Mustoe, 2008).
Adaptive Microencapsulated Pigments
These pigments blend naturally into your skin tone to soften the appearance of scars on the surface, while the active ingredients support repair underneath.
What Makes It Different From Other Scar Gels?
Most traditional scar gels rely solely on silicone. wund+™ Scar Gel goes further with a three-part approach:
- silicone therapy
- collagen-supporting stem cell technology
- instant tone-adapting pigment concealment
This makes it not only restorative, but also confidence-boosting from the very first use.

Caring for Stubborn Acne Scars with Confidence
Old acne scars may not disappear completely, but they can look smoother, lighter, and less noticeable with the right routine. With consistent use, wund+™ Scar Gel helps support regeneration, refine texture, and renew your confidence.
Your skin deserves to feel cared for, no matter how long the scars have been there. (AP)
