πΏ Key Takeaways
- Brown marks (PIH) = melanin over-production after acne or sun exposure.
- Red marks (PIE) = inflammation & capillary dilation left after acne heals.
- Ayurveda treats them differently by balancing Pitta and Rakta Dhatu.
- HerbOcean Radiance Tailam = best for brown PIH spots.
- HerbOcean Radiance Cream = best for red PIE marks & overall brightness.
- Consistency (4–8 weeks) is key for visible results.

PIH (Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation) |

PIE (Post-Inflammatory Erythema) |

β¨ Ayurveda’s Approach to PIH & PIE
- PIH (Brown Spots) → Pacify Pitta and detoxify the skin using Manjistha, Kesar, and Haldi.
- PIE (Red Marks) → Soothe Rakta dhatu and cool inflammation with Chandan
Both require inner balance (diet & sleep) and topical care with herbs that restore twacha samyata — skin equilibrium.
