Hi all !

New to this forum! I been suffering from severe acne for the past 10 years. Its got a lot under a control and for the past 2 years I been only getting a cyst here or there on the face especially jawline.

 

As you can see in the pic attached, this is the state of my face right now. I lost my original face color as u can see, with the original skin color visible arnd the eye area and the neck. Is this hyperpigmentation? I took this picture in natural lighting first thing in the morning.

 

Please advice. As of now I am using the ole henriksen vitamin c serum, peter thomas roth AHA/BHA gel, and occassionally I use the clarisonic mia 2 when removing makeup. I been using these items for the past 8 months and nothing has improved or worsened. Should I do chemical peels? These redness/marks/pigmentation?- have been on my face for years and nothing works...from proactive to antibiotics..! How do I gain back my original color and remove this redness or whatever it is?

 

Thankyou!

I have the same issue except my acne is not under control. Continued use of acne products will do that to skin color unfortunately.

 

Peels could help but if you have active acne, it is not recommended.

Skin whitening, exfoliation, and sunscreen will efface post-inflammatory pigmentation.
