Retinoids are vitamin A derivatives. These work by going deep beneath your skin to even out skin tone and texture and also known as definite treatment for aging skin

  1. Chemical Peel

For post acne hyperpigmentation, chemical peels work by reducing the appearance of dark spots as they peel off epidermis that contains dead skin and if the spots are much deeper ,then you need to visit a dermatologist for professional peel application.

  1. Niacinamide

Niacinamide is a Niacin (Vitamin B3) derivative. Its ability to aid in water retention and increased collagen production makes it a good option. It replenishes the dead skin if used twice a day for at least 8 weeks.

  1. Kojic Acid

Kojic Acid (fungal derivative) is considered a natural bleaching agent. It’s often used for dark aging spots, so it works best for brown-colored pigmentation from acne for dark tone skin.
