    Hyperpigmentation

    So this seems to work quite well. The only thing I'm concern about is if it will give you scars, irritation or pigmentation issues. I will update and let you guys know.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Also, I would advise getting a good moisturizer as it drys your skin a lot. The next morning after using the product overnight, rinse it with warm water, clean your face with a good cleanser and then use a GOOD moisturizer.

    Only use the product where your acne or whiteheads are with a Q-TIP! This product is to treat acne not to prevent it. It claims it helps to prevent it but it's false.

    Summary: This product has a lot of ingredients that may cause irritation to your skin. Be aware of this.

    ****Only use this product TWICE a week. Not more. Use a good cleanser followed by a good moisturizer*** ***
