To address pigmentation and blackheads, consider updating your skincare routine. Switch to a broad-spectrum physical sunscreen containing zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, or iron oxides, which offer better protection against pigmentation-worsening visible light. For blackheads and gentle exfoliation, a salicylic acid cleanser or topical gel is highly effective. To target the pigmentation, topical treatments containing azelaic acid, vitamin C, or kojic acid can safely brighten your skin. For stronger results, a dermatologist may prescribe a retinoid (like adapalene or tretinoin), which treats both blackheads and pigmentation simultaneously. Please consult a dermatologist to find the right strength and formulation for your skin type.
