“Melanin rich skin is often times prone to excessive sebum and oil production which can lead to recalcitrant acne activity. These breakouts are the initial problem that can leave the skin with long-term sequelae such as blemishes and hyperpigmentation. Treatment of acne and resultant hyperpigmentation should be performed delicately yet efficiently, with the appropriate actives that will successfully treat the acne and hyperpigmentation concomitantly for optimal results.” — Dr Carlos A. Charles, Board Certified Dermatologist.
