I've been dealing with Melasma for about 45 years now, and it's really noticeable because of my fair skin. There are these dark patches on my cheekbones. I tried cosmo peel and laser treatments about two years ago, but they didn't help at all. A dermatologist suggested I use Triluma cream twice a week, so I've been trying it out for the past two weeks. My skin's started flaking and feels really dry, and whenever I put on my Neutrogena Ultra Sheer sunscreen, I get this burning, tingling sensation. Is this normal?

I've been using Skinlite cream for about 6 months now, and I'm trying to stop, but every time I do, my face gets darker, so I've started again but only twice a week. The thing is, my face is still gradually getting darker. I'm not sure what to do. I gave Melaglow a try for fairer skin, but it didn't really work for me, so I stopped using it. Can you suggest something that would actually help brighten my skin? I've got a darker skin tone and would appreciate any advice.

That needs weaning off of Skinlite cream and using alternates,better to see Dermatologist for appropriate help
