I've been dealing with acne breakouts for a while now, and once they go away, they leave these dark spots on my face. My skin's pretty oily and almost half of my face has these spots, and it's really getting on my nerves. Can you recommend any lotions or gels that actually work on clearing up these spots and controlling the acne?
