I've been getting these little spots on my cheeks from pimples, and I'm not sure what the best ointment is to make them go away quickly. Also, I'm dealing with some whiteheads and would love to know if there's a good solution for both. Any advice?

For both pimple spots and whiteheads, using a combination of exfoliating acids (like salicylic acid or glycolic acid), anti-inflammatory ingredients (like niacinamide), and treatments for acne (like retinoids or benzoyl peroxide) can help significantly improve your skin over time. Always make sure to use sunscreen daily to protect your skin and prevent worsening of dark spots.
