Lemon juice! I've been putting it on red acne scars twice a day for the past two weeks and can already see a big difference! x

Do you want to get rid of the redness from pimples currently on your face, or reduce the marks left behind from scarring?

Try aloe Vera gel. It's natural, cheap and good for acne scaring. And you only need a dot for your whole face!

Like Sarah said, lemon juice! Take a bit on a q-tip and dab just on the spot that needs lightening. Don't apply it all over !

If you have red discoloration you can cancel it out by using a green concealer :)

I have discoloration from acne also and find it so annoying(not gonna lie though, I am glad I do not have scars) and I use Murad Rapid Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Serum. It is pricey but way worth it because it lasts forever! I use it three times a week at night.
If you are looking for a more affordable way, you can spot treat with lemon juice. Vitamin C is great for lightening any spots, freckles, etc.

Alpha hydroxy acids.
I do a 30% glycolic acid peel every two weeks.
However if your not trained to do it yourself I suggest going to a spa. Or take extreme caution and don't use as high of a percentage.

Sorry Rhea, I should have mentioned that really! Only put the lemon juice on the discoloration, not your whole face :)

For hyperpigmentation you want a products that either contain hydraquinone or kojic acid. Hydraquinone can be irritating for some so use caution. Exfoliation will also help the process by either means of a chemical peels which uses aha's and bha's or microdermabrasion which is a mechanical exfoliation. Use caution as well some peels can further irritate your skin. A licensed esthetician will explain the pros and come should you get it done. As for redness green concealer helps, I mix a little in my regular concealer to get the desired effect.

Nicolette G and Avery M hit it right on the nose. Proven and safe methods to deal with hyperpigmentation. Something I've struggled with in the past and still maintain preventive measures so it doesn't get out of control again.

My last pregnancy I had a bit of pregnancy mask. Glycolic peels and yonka vital defence got rid of it within two weeks.
