Answer: Facial hyperpigmentation There is various different treatments available to treat hyperpigmentation, I would suggest a combination of procedures along with an at home topical regime. Start by making sure you apply a Sunscreen with zinc at least spf 30 multiple times per day to prevent further sun damage as that will make your current pigmentation worse, visit your nearest Dermatologist to get started on some Chemical peels that will not only remove the top layer of your skin and promote a new layer allowing for topical medication to penetrate better but will reduce the pigmentation each time you do the treatment. Finally an at home use to bleaching cream (hydroquinone), preferably a formula that has been compounded with some sort of retinol will aid in getting rid of your melasma. Good Luck and be patient.

Answer: Patience Hello! I assume that those dark spots are from acne? To lighten these spots requires patience and diligence. You need an excellence skincare regimen that includes Vitamin C serum, retinol and possibly a lightening agent such as hydroquinone, and sunscreen. However, if your skin is oily and you're still experiencing breakouts, then be sure to use the above listed products in a formulation that's appropriate for oily, blemish-prone skin. And you may need products that have salicylic acid. I compare the importance of skincare to brushing your teeth daily! You can also try a series of chemical peels then lasers. The best is to consult your local professional. Good luck!
