How To Remedy Acne Marks And Dull Skin?
hello sir/madame, i am 20 years old, wheatish skin. I have a visibly dull skin, and although there's no serious acne problem on my face but there are a few acne marks that have been there for a long time. Please suggest me a suitable remedy to this. I really crave for a glowing, flawless and smooth skin.

hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
Treatment of acne and acne scars go a long way in improving the face value of those who have acne.
I would suggest that you use a broad spectrum sunscreen, that which offers both UV B and UV A protection throughout the day.
A skin lightening cream containing one or more of the following ingredients like kojic acid, hydroquinone, glycolic acid etc can be use once daily at night for a few days to gradually fade away the marks.
In addition to that you could also opt for glycolic acid peel sessions from a dermatologist. The benefits of glycolic peel are overall improvement of skin tone and complexion, reduces acne marks and scars and decreases oiliness of skin etc
