Personally, one of the biggest acne-related problems I suffered from as an adult was post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation; in simpler terms, when the acne itself would finally calm down and go away, they’d leave unsightly dark marks behind. The great news is that while it may take them a while to fade, it’s not impossible — and with acne scar remover products like Lambena’s, we can totally speed up the process.

Nowadays, it’s even more important to stay hydrated — and make sure you’re drinking from a container that’s clean and 100% yours.
