Instead than attempting to whiten oily skin, concentrate on maintaining the skin's health and even tone. Use a light oil-free moisturiser, wash your face twice a day with a mild face wash for oily skin, and wear sunscreen daily to avoid tanning and black patches. Products containing niacinamide, vitamin C, or salicylic acid may help minimise excess oil and gradually brighten the face. Steer clear of hard washing, steroid-based fairness treatments, and squeezing pimples since they can exacerbate marks and harm sensitive skin.

L‑Skin is a skin‑lightening cream, but its role in treating melasma is not well established, so it’s best to avoid using it unless specifically advised by a dermatologist, who can assess your skin condition and guide you to the proper treatment.
