To help with acne marks and prevent new acne breakouts, you can use a combination of topical treatments. You can use a topical retinoid like Adapalene gel in the evening to help with acne and improve skin texture. In the morning, you can apply a Vitamin C serum to help with skin brightening and collagen production. Additionally, using a sunscreen during the day is important to prevent further darkening of the marks. Make sure to follow a consistent skincare routine and be patient as it may take some time to see results.
