my favorite ingredients for pie + pih 🙌🏼

with acne breakouts comes the aftermath of the discoloration due to increased melanin or blood vessels on the skin. it’s best to treat acne first to prevent post inflammatory erythema and/or post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, but sometimes it’s unavoidable. these are some ingredients and products i like to recommend:

🍊 innisfree vitamin c brightening serum

the key ingredient is vitamin c, which you can see are in the little yellow capsules in the serum. these burst when you rub the product into the skin, delivering brightening properties to help the skin glow! this serum has been in my morning routine and it’s slowly giving my skin a radiant look, and i’m shocked because it’s actually noticeable even if i’m the one always looking at myself

🌿 cocokind chlorophyll discoloration serum

i love this one for my post inflammatory erythema because of the alpha arbutin in the formula! it’s a lightweight, slippery texture that doesn’t leave any stickiness after applying. it minimized my redness and i ended up loving the product so much that i finished the bottle (and i have this one in the photo as a backup)

💫 axis-y dark spot correcting glow serum

this one has niacinamide, which i love for treating dark spots and also controlling my oil production. it slowly and gently treats the discoloration while giving your skin a glowy look after application. with consistent use, it makes the skin bright, radiant, and moisturized so you’re left with healthy looking skin

🌸 topicals faded serum

this one is packed with ingredients to help treat any type of discoloration. however with this many actives (they’re still gentle, but they’re actives), i advise people to start off using this 2x a week and building up the skin’s tolerance just incase there may be some disagreements between the skin and how “aggressive” the formulation is. overall though, i personally think it’s gentle enough for everyday, but everyone’s skin is different.
