Recently, I've been getting pimples. I've been putting Benzoil peroxide 10% on them to dry them out.
I've also used Salicylic acid 2%. Neither worked all that well.The problem is that when the pimple does somewhat go away I'm left with a dark brown spot where it was. They last for WEEKS

They look worse than the pimple.What can I do to make them fade? I swear that Salicylic acid burnt my face..and thats why it's brown.


Makes me wanna cry like a 12 year old. As if I don't have enough troubles in my life.
Please help.

Try fresh aloe Vera from the plant, apply the gel from the inside of the leaf all over your face every night, within a Month they should have faded a lot.

Often dark marks from pimples don't fade for a few months. At least...that's how it is for me. But if it's brown, then that's good, it means it's on its way to fading already.

Anyways you can try various methods to fade the marks-
1. aloe vera, as the above poster said
2. lemon juice
3. green tea
4. lightening serums (I would recommend hydroquinone-free ones)
5. chemical peels
6. microdermabrasion
7. time (this is honestly the best fader - within six months your marks will probably be gone)

Benzyol peroxide will do that to you, I can attest to that. You can try a honey/tumeric mask, I've heard that works wonders for hyperpigmentation.
