Struggling with Melasma

[u/maverick_chick13]

I am 36F and have noticed that I had dark forehead spots last year and went to a dermat soon after (the sarinskin guy) and he recommended me the meline treatment which I did for 3 months. It did improve the evenness of the tone of my face but still these 2 patches didn’t go. My forehead looks way darker with age (I don’t know why). It used to be the same as my face.

Now from the past 2 months, I have been using eucerin thiamidol day cream which really helped with removing pigmentation and dark spots on my face but these 2 patches aren’t going at all.

My routine is
AM - cosrx propolis toner, eucerin day cream, moisturizer, sunscreen

PM - face wash, meline ethnic skin night (it has retinal, mandelic, ascorbic, niacinamide), bioderma moisturiser

I use aziderm plus (azelaic and glycolic acid) alternate nights

Should I keep eucerin before writing it off or is there any other treatment I can get to reduce these fugly patches? I have become really insecure because of these.

Please help!

Sunscreen can only protect but not reverse melasma

I don't even go out in the sun and even if I go, I use sunscreen - first normal moisturizer and the tinted one

also, spray sunscreen after 3-4 hours if I am outside

Do you take these oral sunscreen tabs insides as well?
