Hello! I have tan skin and even though my acne is gone I was left with dark brown spots :(

I was wondering if this product was okay to use? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

This product does have Glycolic Acid which is an exfoliant and also a skin lightener- Hydroquinone, however it could be comedogenic depending on the moisturiser and vitamin E, as it is prescribed for wrinkles i would say that this is likely the case. If you are confident that you will not break out, by all means it could help your hyper pigmentation issues.

Thank you! I'm not sure if it would break me out or not. Maybe I will just go with dans Aha. I appreciate your input!

Get hydroquinone if you want to lighten the spots quickly
