What are some safe and effective chemical peels for dark skin?

Energetic650156
Hello everyone, I had my first chemical peel in April of this year. It was the Cosmelan peel. My skinned looked great about 2/3 months after the peel but unfortunately the results didn’t last long. My skin texture is back to uneven, large pores, and hyperpigmentation all came back. Should I do another round of Cosmelan or try another peel? My complex is similar to Lupita Nyongo
