How To Treat Acne Scars And Blemishes?

Hello, I have dark spots on my face. I had acne problem(but right now it s in control), to get rid of spots on the particular areas I applied Glyaha-Koj cream (70% glycolic acid, hydroquinone, Kojic acid) almost 3 times a day. That cream had burned the selected area, earlier I thought that nor fresh skin will come up, but it left spots darker than before.Is there some problem with cream or was my use too frequent? Sir/Mam, please help me how to get rid of these spots and even tone skin?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns....

As per your complain it seems that you have either got side effects with hydroquinone or glycoilc acid present in cream as Kojic acid is comparitively safer..
I would suggest you to apply creams containing Kojic acid containing creams on face after doing a patch test over skin and in case if it does not cause any reaction in 48 hours you can apply over face..
Apply Vitamin E gel at night..
Take Vitamin C supplements..
Exfoliate your skin with a gentle face scrub..
Limit sun exposure and always apply sunscreen lotion when going into sun..
Apply aloevera gel for lubrication and avoid chemical cosmetics..
You can also go for photofacial and microdermabrasion..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
