If hyperpigmentation is a constant issue, always be sure to use a moisturizer or sunscreen with at least SPF 30. SPF 50 should be used if you are in the process of treatment.

Attaining & maintaining clear skin is all a matter of consistency and diligence. Many people have tried certain skin care regimens and complicated that it did not work for them but in asking "Were you consistent?" 8 times out of 10 they were not and ave up after a week. Great skincare is like exercise, you have to stick with it in order to see the results you want to see.
