I've got these pink patches on my lower lip after peeling off a small part of the skin. I don't smoke, and there's no itching or anything. How can I get my natural lip color back and fix this uneven lip tone?

It sounds like you may have developed some pigmentation changes on your lips. To help restore your natural lip color and get rid of the uneven pigmentation, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. You can apply this cream to the affected areas twice a day for several weeks. Additionally, using a lip balm with SPF can help protect your lips from further damage and discoloration. Remember to stay hydrated and avoid further picking or peeling of the skin on your lips.

Are these products really good for someone with acne-prone skin, and do they truly avoid harsh chemicals? I'm curious if I should give them a try.
