Should I discontinue use of Tri-luma when my pigmentation is gone or wait the full three months?

Asked By:Magical6758 in Seattle, WA

My doctor diagnosed me with melasma and prescribed tri-luma. I developed the melasma after a glycolic peel a year ago. The melasma seems to be fading fairly quickly. I've been using tri-luma for almost two weeks. If all of the pigmentation dissipates, should I stop use or continue for the full three month duration? I am using sunscreen diligently.
