Will Adapalene And Benzoyl Peroxide Clear Hyper Pigmentation And Uneven Skin?

Hi, I went to the dermatologist for my hyperpigmentation, he recommended I use Retin - a and Nuquin hp 4% , its been a month now my dark marks turned into brown spots now but it looks like thats the lightest it can get. I had to discontinued those products because I have light spots adding on to my brown spots (I am African-American decent with a caramel complexion). I went back to a new dermatologist he recommended I use Adapalene and Benzoyl peroxide for my hyper pigmentation and uneven skin. Will this actually work cause it talks about acne but nothing about dark spots

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if the hyper pigmented patch is due to some pathology the this can be treated but if this is due to the natural skin complexion then nothing can be done for this, in my opinion the best way to treat this condition with the, "Hydroquinone cream" if this fails to respond then stop this, hope this information helps you, have a nice day.
