It is very common for acne treatments to cause temporary dryness and dark spots (hyperpigmentation) as the skin heals. Do not worry; this is highly treatable. To address the dryness, use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer containing ceramides or hyaluronic acid twice daily. For the dark spots, daily application of a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) is essential, as UV rays darken spots. Additionally, incorporating topical serums with niacinamide, azelaic acid, or vitamin C will safely fade pigmentation over time. Avoid harsh scrubs, and consult your dermatologist if irritation persists.
