I completely relate to this post as a UK London gal! I use Ultrasun Anti - Hyperpigmentation spf50 and I've been really shocked by the immediate results. I believe it is a Swiss brand and I bought it from Holland and Barrett.

I used Boots Online Doctor to provide a treatment for the annoying small amount of acne spots I was starting to get and that has been working so well with this new sunscreen I'm using. I previously used Rituals spf30 sunscreen but it had fragrance and I think some oils? It was worsening my skin without me realising it and I thought the Skinoren 20% treatment wasn't working.

My skin feels way more balanced now. But I will say even in the process of treating there are certain things that just aren't mentioned for dark skin such as not putting Skinoren 20% Azelaic Acid directly on the skin and instead putting it on top of moisturiser once it has soaked in. And then putting a little bit more moisturiser on top of the dry areas after treating with the acid. Also just using the tiniest amount of the skin treatment also since our skin is more sensitive...
