This innovation in aesthetics is getting popular in the recent years especially for acne scars. Its results vary according to severity of acne. By studies and results, it is found to be very promising in removal of acne pigmentation and removes 2/3rd pigmentation even in severe acne. It induces collagen production in skin so greater the collagen production, the better for the skin. It also enhances skin texture and makes it smoother in appearance.

Dermatologists suggest its concentration not more than 2% else it might dry out your skin. Commonly found in OTC cleansers and gels, it helps to reduce sebum and unclog pores which lower chances of bacteria to invade.
