I’ve been dealing with post-acne hyperpigmentation for a while, and I finally committed to a consistent routine for 6 weeks instead of constantly switching products.

What I used:

Gentle cleanser
Hydrating toner
Glutathione serum (AM + PM)
Sunscreen (non-negotiable)

What actually made a difference:

Not skipping sunscreen (I used to be inconsistent tbh)
Keeping it simple — no harsh actives
The glutathione serum… not dramatic, but my overall tone looks more even now

What didn’t:

Spot treating aggressively (just made things worse)

It’s not like “wow my skin transformed overnight,” but looking back at week 1 photos vs now, it’s noticeably calmer and more even.

Biggest takeaway: consistency > trying new “miracle” ingredients every week
