“Stuff like the Athe vitamin c serum, Medicube Glutathione Glow serum, or the Skinceuticals Discoloration Defense will help lighten acne scars.”
“It won't lighten freckles much and definitely won't get rid of melasma or age spots.”
“using these products will definitely prevent them from getting worse so DO use them!”
