hi...
u didnt mention duration...it seems u have used a lot of products on ur face which has made ur skin to be sensitive..see the treatment for melasma is difficult....the most important thing u need to do is the ultra violet ray protection whether u r indoors or outdoors...u need to reapply a good sunblock after every 3 hours...dont use any soap on the face...use cetaphil cleansing lotion twice daily and cetaphil moisturising lotion which r very mild...
at home have plenty of citrus fruits and water...once the sensitivity of ur skin gets reduced u can use honey with a few drops of lemon once a week...u can also use smashed papaya...
dont worry
