Post-Acne Hyperpigmentation Best Ingredients: Hydroquinone, Glycolic Acid, Retinol, Turmeric
Product Pick: Peter Thomas Roth De-Spot Skin Brightening Corrector, $75
Hyperpigmentation is the dark mark left after a breakout has cleared up and it can often take months to go away, but there are some ingredients you can use that will help speed the process along. Hydroquinone is one of the most popular skin-lightening ingredients, but it can cause irritation since it bleaches the skin. If you have sensitive skin, try a light glycolic or retinol cream/wash. Turmeric is also a popular ingredient choice for removing dark spots as it contains curcumin, which inhibits pigmentation in the skin. Depending on which ingredient you choose, the process takes time, so make sure you're not expecting instant results.
