Brief Answer:
Regarding pigmentation and complexion

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ask a doctor service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Firstly I suggest you use a broad spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or 50), throughout the day. Reapply every 2-3 hours, especially when outdoors.
In addition, I suggest you use a glycolic acid based cream e.g either Glyco A 12 % cream or Demelan cream or Radiant lite cream, at night. Glycolic acid is exfoliating and helps rejuvenate skin. It also lightens complexion and pigmentation

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if you need any more assistance.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
