Dealing with acne spots and dark marks can be frustrating—especially when they linger long after the pimple is gone.

If you’ve noticed stubborn spots forming on the sides of your face, especially after picking at blemishes, there’s a simple layering routine that can help fade them quickly. Here’s how to target dark spots effectively using a three-step method!

1. Start with Topicals Faded Serum

Begin by applying the Faded serum directly to the dark spots. Although it has a strong scent—almost like acid—it works wonders in brightening uneven areas and improving discoloration. Gently dab a small amount onto the affected spots and let it fully dry before moving to the next step.

2. Follow Up with Yuja Niacin Serum Roller

Once the first layer has dried, use the Yuja Niacin serum roller. This vitamin-rich formula helps even out the skin tone and lighten dark patches over time. The roller ball design allows for easy, mess-free application, and the squeeze bottom helps you control how much product comes out. Roll it gently over the faded spots to let the ingredients soak in.

3. Lock It In with a Dark Spot Stick (Lightning Wand)

After the previous layer dries, finish with a nourishing dark spot stick. Unlike the other two, this one keeps the area moisturized with its oil-based texture. It seals in hydration while continuing to fade pigmentation, making your skin look smoother and more radiant.

Using these three products in layers—Faded, Yuja Niacin, and Lightning Wand—creates a powerful dark spot-fighting combo. With consistent use over a few days, you’ll notice your acne marks begin to fade faster and your complexion appear more even. Avoid picking at pimples and stick to this routine to help your skin heal cleanly and glow again!
