Brown skin 101
acne
Treating acne and the hyperpigmentation from acne scarring on brown skin needs a unique approach. Due to higher amounts of melanin (pigments) in our skin, it can be a lot more sensitive and irritate more easily (although it’s harder to see) and we will get post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that lasts longer than the breakout itself.
At Om Home, we are experts in curating skincare specifically designed for our melanin-diverse, Desi skin. We treat acne by strengthening our skin’s barrier and protecting (and enriching) the skin’s microbiome.
Brown skin tends to be more sensitive. Reactions tend to not be seen as easily, but the outcome tends to be scarring that can last for years.
How Om Home Helps You Treat Acne?

Advanced Formulations
Due to our skin being more sensitive and the hyperpigmentation that results from an inflammatory event (like acne or irritation), overly harsh treatments can cause more breakouts and pigmentation issues instead of solving them. The products we have curated treat acne by strengthening the skin barrier.

It can take as little as 1 week to see visible improvements in the inflammation of your skin. And from there, your should notice reduced redness and less severe breakouts in 4 weeks. But this depends on several factors such as your skin’s turnover rate, the type of acne that you have and the cause (eg hormonal acne is linked to the timing of your cycle).
