In your treatment I can give exact products and routine to treat Melasma fast. 
My journey of Melasma began in pregnancy though I was so tired for years I believed it to be under eye dark circles from lack of sleep. This lead me to not treat it as it got worse. When it came to treatment I was advised micro needling which caused so much trauma it made it 10 times darker, I was quoted thousands of pounds work of products and then I found my own combination of ingredients which has almost erased it in 4 months with no product cost more than £30 maximum and most much less. It is the combination of ingredients and the order / time they are applied. Treating melasma often involves a combination of topical ingredients and practices that target hyperpigmentation and promote an even skin tone. Here are some effective ingredients and practices to consider:

### Ingredients

1. **Hydroquinone**: A potent skin-lightening agent that helps reduce the appearance of dark spots. It is typically used under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

2. **Vitamin C**: An antioxidant that brightens the skin and inhibits melanin production, helping to reduce pigmentation.

3. **Retinoids**: These vitamin A derivatives promote skin cell turnover and can help fade hyperpigmentation over time.

4. **Azelaic Acid**: This ingredient helps to reduce pigmentation and has anti-inflammatory properties, making it suitable for sensitive skin.

5. **Kojic Acid**: Another skin-lightening agent that helps to reduce melanin production and improve the appearance of dark spots.

6. **Niacinamide**: Also known as vitamin B3, niacinamide can brighten the skin, improve texture, and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation.

7. **Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs)**: Ingredients like glycolic acid and lactic acid promote exfoliation, helping to slough off dead skin cells and reduce pigmentation. 

8. **Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs)**: Salicylic acid can also help exfoliate the skin and improve the appearance of melasma.

Practices

1. **Sun Protection**: Daily sunscreen with a high SPF  50 is essential, as sun exposure can worsen melasma. Look for broad-spectrum protection and consider physical blockers like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. Every 2 hours and triple the amount you think

2. **Gentle Cleansing**: Use a mild cleanser to avoid irritating the skin, which can exacerbate pigmentation issues. Twice a day with cold water. 

3. **Exfoliation**: Regular but gentle exfoliation can help improve skin texture and promote the fading of dark spots. However, avoid over-exfoliating, as this can cause irritation. 2-3 times per week

4. **Moisturization**: Keeping the skin well-hydrated can help maintain its barrier and overall health, which is important in treating pigmentation.

5. **Lifestyle Changes**: Maintain a healthy diet rich in antioxidants, stay hydrated, and manage stress, as these factors can impact skin health.

6. Massage, massage, massage 

### Note

Retinols are extremely strong and need to be introduced slowly and used with a hyaluronic acid serum
