For PIH try niacinamide,Alpha arbutin ,Tranexamic acid and vitamin c. Azelaic acid helps with PIE.

Include products with vitamin C, especially in the mornings! This is a gentle vitamin C serum to begin with. Here's my experience ⬇️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CT9SZZipRMf/?utm_medium=copy_link

I use this duo alternate 🌄 mornings. They help lighten/fade PIH marks & also increase the efficacy of 🔆 sunscreen!

be gentle. You need anyi inflammatory ingredients and pigmentation targeting once. Just the actives will not work. Tranexamic Acid and Azelaic Acid are working great but you do have to give them some time. Arbutin and Cica are also great combi in your case. Bare on mind that using any products but skipping SPF will be absolute waste. You need SPF 50 and to reapply it throughout the day ❤️
