For those who have success stories-when did you start addressing hyperpigmentation?

◻️Advice◻️

31, F. I’ve been on Spironolactone since March (started at 100mg, upped to 150mg since May) I think I am finally OUT OF THE WOODS! I haven’t had any new pimple in 3 weeks, and after an extraction facial, my closed comedones are gone.

I’m still on the pill but wondering when did you start introducing skincare that has any of the ff: vitamin c, niacinamide, azelaic acid etc? I really don’t want to trigger a breakout if I’m being too early

My current routine:
AM
acne benzoyl wash
Clindamycin
Moisturizer
Sunscreen

PM
acne benzoyl wash
Clindamycin
0.25% tret
Moisturizer
