After my breakouts healed, I was left with something just as frustrating — those stubborn dark spots that just wouldn’t go away. If you’re dealing with post-acne hyperpigmentation (PIH), I completely understand how discouraging it can feel. But here’s what actually helped me fade those marks without damaging my skin.

⸻

🌟 1. Alpha Arbutin Was a Game Changer

One of the most effective ingredients I used was Alpha Arbutin — specifically from The Ordinary. It targets melanin production, which means it helps lighten dark marks without bleaching the skin.

👉🏽 I used it consistently and gently layered it into my morning routine — and yes, the progress is on my TikTok if you want to see it!

⸻

🌞 2. SPF Is Non-Negotiable

Sun exposure can darken hyperpigmentation and make your skin tone even more uneven. I used to apply sunscreen occasionally, but once I made it a daily habit, I started seeing faster, more long-lasting results.

No matter what products you’re using — if you’re not using sunscreen, you’re working against yourself.

⸻

🔁 3. Patience & Consistency

I didn’t expect overnight magic. It took weeks of consistency with a routine that was gentle and non-irritating. I focused more on healing than scrubbing away the spots.

⸻

💧 4. Supportive Ingredients I Loved:
	•	Niacinamide: calms the skin and fades pigmentation
	•	Licorice Root Extract: gentle yet brightening
	•	Azelaic Acid: reduces redness and fades post-acne marks
	•	Mandelic or Lactic Acid (once or twice weekly): gentle exfoliation without overdoing it

⸻

🚫 5. What I Avoided:
	•	Harsh physical scrubs
	•	Using too many actives at once
	•	Picking at healing acne (this only created more dark spots)

Post-Acne Hyperpigmentation: How I Fade My Dark Spots

style Korean

No complaints so far
It is really good for sensitive skin

This product is one of the best products I have ever used

✖️ It doesn’t completely get rid of dark circles (but that’s normal — no magic fix!)
✖️ Needs to be used consistently to really see results
✖️ Some masks can slide around if you move too much

I’ve been using this eye mask for a few days now, and here’s my honest take:

What I love:
✔️ It feels super soothing and cool on the skin
✔️ Helps reduce puffiness in the morning
✔️ Makes my under-eye area look a bit more refreshed
✔️ Comfortable to wear, especially after chilling it in the fridge

Sweat a lot,I feel it is not really nice for people with oily skin

It is very hydrating and nice for dry skin
