• Tret (0.05%) - been using it for the last 4 months with no issues
• Evening: * every other night: tretinoin .05 %
• I personally found using azelaic acid gel 15% in the morning & tretinoin .05% 6 nights a week along with a strong skin barrier supporting routine to be the most effective for melasma on my forehead & dark spots on my cheeks.
