pigmentation corrector - #18808

Vivaan

I am really stressed about this skin issue I’ve been dealing with! A few months ago, I noticed some dark spots appearing on my cheeks and forehead. My friend said it might be from sun exposure or aging, but honestly, I’m pretty young (just 28) to have pigmentation problems like this. I went to a dermatologist, and she mentioned using a pigmentation corrector but I’m not sure which one to try. There are sooo many options out there, like creams, serums, and even treatments! I’ve been reading about different ingredients like hydroquinone, vitamin C, and niacinamide in pigmentation correctors, but it can get confusing! The doc suggested a specific pigmentation corrector that’s prescription-only, but I'm hesitating because of the side effects I read about online. I mean, is a stronger pigmentation corrector always the best choice? My skin can be super sensitive too, and I'm scared of making it worse. Has anyone found a pigmentation corrector that worked well without causing irritation? I really want to get rid of these spots but I don't wanna mess with my skin either! Ugh, it's so overwhelming, any advice??
