How to get rid of hyperpigmentation?

[Deleted member 16636]

I have post acne marks and hyperpigmentation on my cheeks this shit is so subhuman it’s the only thing now that holds me back from clear skin.

I currently use a cleanser, spf moisturiser and then vitamin C night serum. I’ve ordered azelaic acid too as I’ve heard that works. What else can I use or are these products fine?

is it purple or red? redness occuring post acne is something different from hyperpigmentation, Hydroquinone works well for actual hyperpigmentation, but for post acne redness use: niacinamide, tranexamic acid, centella asiatica, azelaic acid, retinoids, liquorice root

you don't have to use all ofc

Most vitamin C products are shit. If you want to make sure that it’s effective check if…
-it’s entirely transparent. If it’s orange it doesn’t do shit since that indicates expiration
-it has low viscosity. Viscosity low = effective since it penetrates deeper into skin. Viscosity high = shit
-it has fragrance in it. Frangrance irritates your skin and does more damage than to repair in long run.
Also be sure to store it in the refrigerator.

it just takes time. 6-12 months to a few years depending on the severity. as long as you protect and care for your skin it will get better in most cases. just keep doing what you're already doing..
