Dark acne marks can be effectively lightened using topical retinoid creams containing acids (e.g., tretinoin) or alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs). When outdoors, avoid excessive sun exposure to prevent worsening of hyperpigmentation. Incorporate more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins E and C into your diet, and apply masks containing collagen and hyaluronic acid. Additionally, laser treatment at a medical facility is another effective option for removal.
