I'm fitzpatrick III skin type and I'm on 3 out of 6 revlite laser treatments for extensive face melasma. What topical regime is best to use with it while my skin is sensitive? I hear all sorts from AHA, BHA, Glycolic acid, kojic acid, licorice etc - what will help lighten my melasma? I tried tiny bit of retinol once and my skin burned red and sore for 2 days so think it was too much. The skin clinic are only looking to sell to me, not whats best for my skin and with Revlite - please help! thanks
