Best Light to View Acne Scars

Acne scars create shadows, which highlight the imperfection. This shadow is enhanced by shining light at an angle to the scar (side-lighting). Acne scars repair aims to limit the depth, and therefore the shadowing, of the scar.

Side light from a window or tangential lighting from a spot light wil show every acne scar.

Side light from a window or tangential lighting from a spot light will give you the best view of acne scars including both the obvious and the subtle scars.
