The condition
Acne scars are the texture and colour left after spots have gone, pits, unevenness, or dark marks that do not catch up with the rest of the face.
They are not the same as active acne. If you are still breaking out, we usually calm that first, then talk about the leftover.
On deeper skin tones, the colour of old marks can outlast the texture. Both can be part of the same plan, named honestly at consultation.
