alot of people have said that there post-acne red spots fade in a few months... but mine have been there for YEARS. Over the past 2 months i started using toner and this 8% AHA lotion and i thinkmy marks have a tiny bit less red but it just seems to be going really slowly. I'm afraid that my having left the spots like that for so long is making the removal process much longer!

It´s great for those in search of an alternative to harsh bleaching or exfoliating treatments. Effectively exfoliates your skin overnight.

My spots are black instead of red because I am African American and they REALLY stand out
