I'm white can i use a lightening product for acne red marks will there be any side effects or darkening in the future ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acne Scars: My favorite lightner for acne scars is glycolic acid. It is a smart lotion and will lighten what should not be there and leave your normal skin it's normal color. You should wear sunscreen everyday. There is a slight chance these marks can darken over time if not treated.
