I've been dealing with these dark spots on my face for quite a while now and despite trying different products, nothing seems to work. Could you please recommend a medicine that might help in getting rid of them?

Dark spots on the face can be treated with topical creams containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream. You can apply a thin layer of Melalite cream on the dark spots once daily in the evening. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF during the day can help prevent further darkening of the spots. Remember to consult a dermatologist before starting any new treatment.

I've been using this rejuglow vitamin C serum for the last couple of months, and it really helped my skin glow. But out of nowhere, in the past 10 days, I'm noticing that my skin looks a bit brownish. I don't spend a lot of time in the sun, so I'm puzzled about what could be causing this change. Any ideas?
