I have a problem

i have dark spots on my face from past acne problems. i was wondering what i could do to get rid of these blemishes. any ideas?

use anything with 2% salcylic acid (I think thats correct spelling) and drink plenty of water, over time it will begin to dissappear. But if you got money I suggest a chemical peel. It is fast, easy, pain free, and results, are clear and beautiful.

Anything with 2% salcylic acid works, look for brands like "Pan Oxyl", And "Neutrogena" around $4.00 to $7.00 it'll cost you, and I suggest water. Water cleans out most impurities found in your body's systems, even the oil ducts and pores within your face, and plus its very nourishing to the body and for the skin. Ignore all those skin bleeching products, I tried once and it didn't work, I am a lighter in complextion so I dont know if that had anything to do with it, but if you are darker or dark skinned dont try it I heard it makes people with darker complextions more darker.

As for the cost of chemical peels they will run you from $200-400 but mostly (250) dollars depending on where you live and who is your dermatologist.

u can try hydroquinone products , but they might cause u to break out again or products with kojic acid in them , they r supposed to be natural skin lighteners. If u have money go for a peel or laser skin resurfacing which is damn expensive and u must not be actively breaking out anymore. Blakc spots clear after a long ass many yrs so u can't say u'll wait on time if u r anxious about getting clear complexion. YOu might also want to try glycolic and lactic acid products as long as u don't react to any of them. They r supposed to be natural too , and much safer than hydroquinone. WHatever u do always make sure u wear a sunscreen if u have to be out in the sun , good luck.

It depends on the type of skin you have whether the skin lightener will have a bad effect, but most of the skin lighteners I see have at most, 2% Hydroquonine in it. Ive never checked out any bleaches though, they may contain more. Avon and MaryKay have nice skin lighteners that are not too strong for the skin.
