What treatment would you suggest for my melasma (self diagnosis) on my cheeks, upper lip and nose? Laser? Peel? (Photos)

Tisha_77
I've read mixed reviews for IPL and peels especially for people of color. I absolutely do not want to make this worse. I have ordered Reverse by R&F in an effort to lighten at least the large area on my lip and the dark spots that are now ever present on my nose and cheeks. I'm at a loss at this point. I welcome any help you can provide. Thank you.
