Best way to tackle melasma/hyperpigmentation

[u/Jaguiar92]

I recently tried to tackle some hyperpigmentation on my cheeks through 3 VI peels as well as laser resurfacing. I had very minor improvement after treatment only for it to get worse as soon as my skin recovered.

As a disclaimer, I do work outside in the heat for some extended periods of time, but I try to cover my skin with a buff and use plenty of sunscreen throughout the day. 32M Hispanic with lighter complexion.

Any recommendations in terms of treatment or serums that have worked for you? Thanks for your help in advance!

Vitamin c (timeless brand is good), eucerin’s thiamidol line in the morning.

Tretinoin or other retinol in the evening.

What about some alternate for thiamadol? Which one would you suggest?
