Amazing products for Hyperpigmentation/Uneven Skintone on dark skin?

[juyqbox]

Currently looking for products that can help my super uneven acne prone skin become clear! I suffer from hyperpigmentation in areas such as my cheeks (from old pimples, and not using sunscreen), under the lips (whole chin area), and a small portion of my forehead. If you have any techniques or products that’ve made a SIGNIFICANT difference on your skintone I’d really appreciate the suggestions! Thanks! (Acne is overall controlled, the below picture is merely of acne scaring, no bumps/pimples.)

Hey @juyqbox. I was recommended two products from Ole Henriksen that have become stapes for my skincare routine. Truth Serum for am, which helps with brightening uneven skin tone and the Invigorating Night Transformation Gel for pm. It helped with my oil production, which reduced acne over a period of time. I do use a sunscreen drom Cover FX and that helps keep the dark spots not be as prominent. This process took time for me. I choose not to purchase any other lighteners for skin sensitivity reasons. Six months is when I saw major improvements in my hyperpigmentation. Research and see if those products may work for you then buy travel sizes to start. Drinking 64 oz of water was another big factor. It sounds silly, but it helped flush out the junk from my diet that lead to most of my acne. Hope this info helps!

Thank you soooo much for the recommendations! I’ll definitely look into the ingredient list on those products and check them out!

I got a sample of the Kiehl's Micro Peel Concentrate that I've been using for about a week now. I apply at night and my skin definitely looks more even in the morning. Kiehl's also has a serum that's specifically targeted at fading dark spots. I think it's called clearly corrective. I haven't tried it though. I really enjoy the other Kiehl's serums that I own.

By even, do you mean like a matching of skin tones or just a reduction of the appearance of scars? I’ll definitely check out the product suggestions you gave me, thanks!

So I have one massive cyst on my face right now and since I've been using the Micropeel the cyst has gotten smaller and the color lighter each day. I've dealt with cystic acne for a long time and I've mostly got it under control but one pops up ever now and then. If I wasn't using the micropeel I don't think the cyst would've healed as quickly. But as far as the rest of my skin goes my pores look smaller, the hyperpigmentation around my nose looks a little better, and the couple random dry patches I usually get in the winter are gone. I'm not saying it's a miracle worker since I've only been using it a week but it is nice to wake up look in the mirror and notice improvements.
