: If you are using ultralight moisturizing lotion with SPF 30, it reduces the visibility of changes in pigmentation and scar caused by acne and protects natural barrier of skin. It reduces visibility of hyperpigmentation and evens out tones. Just make sure that you are using cream with SPF otherwise you can change to this lotion.
