Topicals Faded Brightening and Clearing Serum is the best for acne scars, chosen by Vogue.
Priced at $18 for a 15-milliliter travel-size tube, this product promises to brighten and even the skin tone, while targeting dark spots and skin discoloration.
It was formulated with the power blend of three key ingredients, the azelaic and tranexamic acids as well as niacinamide, which make it suitable for acne-prone and sensitive skin.
This product also contains melatonin and kojic acid, which helps reduce and prevent hyperpigmentation.
Furthermore, this serum is vegan and has a gentle effect, thanks to the Centella leaf extract that acts as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant to soothe and avoid skin irritation.
In the article, Vogue editors explained why this Topicals serum is a must-have and said, "Although you can use this all over, this thin, gel-like serum—which went viral for its sheer efficacy—is designed to offer a targeted treatment, making it ideal for acne scarring and errant dark spots alike."

To ensure the effectivity of Faded, its brand recommended a 1x use a week if a new user of the product, then gently working the way up to a daily use. In a skincare routine, this serum comes first before a moisturizer and is sealed by wearing sun protection.
While the Topicals serum is indeed a dream product for acne-prone beauty lovers, this might not be suitable for users who are sensitive to a strong sulfur-like smell.
The magazine noted, "(Faded) is technically fragrance-free, but it does have a strong scent."
