Hey @Storyofcheeze! I understand how frustrating it can be dealing with redness and hyperpigmentation after a breakout. Here are some tips that might help:
For Redness:
Niacinamide: This ingredient is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and can help reduce redness and even out skin tone.
Centella Asiatica: Often found in K-beauty products, this plant extract soothes irritated skin and promotes healing.
For Hyperpigmentation:
Vitamin C: A powerful antioxidant that brightens dark spots and protects against further pigmentation.
Azelaic Acid: Helps to fade dark spots and even out skin tone.
General Tips:
Sun Protection: Always apply sunscreen during the day, as UV exposure can worsen pigmentation.
Consistency: Treatments can take time to show results, so be patient and consistent with your routine.
If you need product recommendations or further assistance, feel free to ask! 😊
