Timeless vitamin C serum has been working well for the past 6 weeks or so.
I love the TO vit c. I can't use it daily, because it will break me out if I do that, but I use it up to 3x a week and it really helps with the hyperpigmentation.

Products that will improve your skin even more in the longer term are vitamin c, sunscreen, glycolic acid, and retinol particularly tretinoin.
There’s other good stuff too (antioxidants, soothers, 1 cell-communicating ingredient in the whey protein).

my derm didn’t prescribe antibiotics, but gave me oral supplements like glutathione, 1000 mg vitamin C, and 150mg zinc.
my derm also prescribed birth control for me first thing and it’s what curbed my acne permanently.
Holy shit you were taking 150mg of zinc daily!?!?!?

Wear your sunscreen all the way down - don’t ever go to a tanning bed. I have two matching on my spine.

Bring your Vitamin C all the way down too.
It boosts your sunscreen because it's a powerful antioxidant that neutralize radicals caused by UV damage.
So would you recommend applying Vit C in the am?

I now use the Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide in the AM and Retinol and Vitamin C at night
A good Vit C serum and retinol cream can do wonders to the skin especially evening skin tone!
