I have dark spots left from acne and I want to completely get rid of them. What’s the best cream you’ve used that actually works and fades them properly? Please recommend something that has worked for you.

I’ve been active here for the last 2–3 weeks and have seen quite a few posts about people looking for side hustles. Some of them are definitely genuine.
But one thing I’ve noticed is that there seems to be a perception that making ₹4–5k/month through a side hustle is extremely easy, even without any particular skills.
People often mention things like copy-pasting, basic content writing, simple editing, etc. But realistically, many of these tasks can now be done or heavily assisted by AI, so the competition is also much higher.
A little about me: I’m currently working full-time after completing my MBA. I also run a YouTube channel, and I’ve built a side hustle related to financial markets. The latter took me around 2–3 years to develop.
So from my experience, building a sustainable side hustle isn't as easy as it sometimes sounds on Reddit. It usually takes some combination of time, knowledge, skill development, experimentation and consistency.
If you’re in your early 20s, my honest advice would be: focus on building skills first. Learn something that has actual market value. Whether it’s finance, coding, sales, video editing, marketing, design, analytics or something else — having a skill gives you many more options than simply looking for “easy” online work.
There’s also an uncomfortable difference in the kinds of opportunities available to men and women online. Some women may have access to NSFW-related monetisation opportunities that simply aren't available to most men. That’s ultimately an individual choice, but it does mean that the online earning landscape isn't identical for everyone.
So when you see posts like:
Female -- age -- looking for work”»
and then look at what happens in the DMs, the reality can sometimes be very different from what the post initially suggests.
For guys especially, I think the practical takeaway is simple: build skills, gain experience and don't expect easy money without having something valuable to offer.
If anyone wants to know what I personally do, what my side hustles are, or wants some suggestions regarding content creation/YouTube — feel free to DM me.
My YouTube channel is already monetized, so I'm also happy to share what I've learned so far with anyone trying to build one.
Happy to help. 👍
