I'm really struggling with my oily and pimple-prone skin. I've been using Episoft AC sunscreen as both a moisturizer and sunscreen in the morning, but now I'm unsure about what to use in the evening. Since the product has SPF, should I continue using it in the evening, or is it better to switch to something else? Would love some advice!

I've got some trouble with acne on my nose and I'm noticing dark spots on my face, especially where I previously had acne. It's been a bit worrying as these dark spots are sticking around after the acne has cleared up. I also see the same issue with dark spots and acne on my nose. What can I do to get rid of these dark spots? Any advice would be really helpful!

Usually acne scars would fade with time, visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment.
