To target melasma, wrinkles, and dullness, a combination of topical treatments works best. First, daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is essential, as UV light worsens both aging and pigmentation. For melasma and brightening, ingredients like azelaic acid, vitamin C, and short-term hydroquinone are highly effective. For wrinkles and skin rejuvenation, a prescription retinoid (like tretinoin) or retinol stimulates collagen and speeds up cell turnover. Gentle chemical exfoliants, like glycolic acid, also help restore a healthy glow. Because these active ingredients can cause mild dryness, I recommend consulting a dermatologist to safely introduce them into your routine.
