Post-acne hyperpigmentation appears as spots of varying sizes that can be pink or brown. These colorful spots are most commonly on the face. However, they can also occur in other areas, e.g., the neckline or back.
The primary factor contributing to post-acne hyperpigmentation is UV radiation. It is this radiation that is responsible for increased melanin production. Combined with the inflammation in the skin, it leads to unsightly discoloration.
In the fight against acne discoloration, specialist suggest to focus on active ingredients that have a regenerative and epidermal rebuilding effect. Instead of strong acids, it is worth focusing on gentle exfoliation that will not irritate the skin.
