Dark spots and scars are unattractive and being a 20’s something girl I can understand that better. We women go about to any extent to get rid of them. This eventually results in spending thousands of bucks on purchasing expensive scar creams and dark spots removal treatments. I too did the same for treating the scars and dark spots on my skin. At the end, I was not only out of money but also disappointed with the results. Most of these treatments and products include a mix of moisturizers, unproven fillers, and chemicals.
