What should i do for acne and hyperpigmentation

[wolfpsl]

i have some active acne and some acne marks along with hyperpigmentation in some areas of my skin
and i wanted to know what skincare stack to use for the most optimal results

planning on using hydroquinone and tretinoin.
(are there any other better alternatives?)


Any side effects i should be concerned about and how long to use them.

if you've already got tret + hq planned that's alr pretty good.

i'd add a gentle cleanser, moisturizer and spf50 every morning otherwise you're just undoing the pigmentation work. azelaic acid (15-20%) is worth looking at too, helps both acne and pih and plays well with tret. hq isn't something i'd run forever though

usually people cycle it for a few months then stop for a bit. expect dryness/peeling on tret at first so start 2-3x/week instead of nuking your barrier day 1. if you're still getting loads of active acne, fix that first or you'll just keep making new marks.

mark as solution bhai
