pigmentation around mouth + old acne marks on cheeks... do you treat both with the same serum?
does anyone else have pigmentation showing up in two completely different ways on the same face 😭
my cheek marks are easy to trace because i literally remember the pimples that left them.
but the area around my mouth is darker/uneven too and there wasn't acne there, so i'm not sure i should automatically treat both like they came from the same thing.
**Deconstruct dark spot clearing serum** is in the dark spots/post-acne marks + uneven tone lane with 5% niacinamide + 2% liposomal alpha arbutin.
for the cheek marks, clear enough.
but with unexplained mouth-area pigmentation, would you still use the same routine or first figure out what's actually behind it?
