Your Personalized Overview

Your skin profile is a combination of acne, potential discoloration, and darker pigmentation. Below are some of the keys to your skin:

Dark Skin - more likely to find yourself with a dark mark, or what's referred to as Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) after acne heals. Your skin is also prone to a specific type of bump-like scarring, called Keloid scarring.

More Oily Than Most - your darker skin naturally produces more oil than fairer skin people. This means you'll tend to look younger as you age, but it also means you have larger pores that are more prone to be clogged, resulting in blemishes. Controlling oil is often key for your blemishes.

Exfoliation - proper exfoliation can be largely beneficial to your skin type. We generally don't recommend mechanical exfoliation; instead, opt for products with ingredients such as Lactic Acid or Azelaic Acid.

Lightening - traditional dark mark lightening products such as Hydroquinone can actually bleach darker skin tones, so we recommend opting for more natural-based lighteners, such as products containing Vitamin C
