What skincare products should be used for a sallow complexion with chloasma?
Disease description:
My skin is not very dark, but it isn't fair either—it has a sallow yellow tone. Although I don't suffer from acne, my skin appears dull and lacks luster, and I also have chloasma, which is equally unattractive. What skincare regimen should I use for a sallow complexion with chloasma?

To address the issues of sallow complexion and melasma, skincare should focus on the following: choose skincare products containing vitamin C and antioxidant ingredients, which can effectively inhibit melanin formation, brighten skin tone, and combat free radicals to slow down skin aging. Use gentle whitening serums to help fade existing melasma, but follow product instructions carefully to avoid overuse that may cause skin sensitivity. In addition, maintaining skin hydration is also very important; select moisturizing products suitable for your skin type to strengthen the skin's barrier function. Do not forget daily sun protection, as ultraviolet rays are one of the main factors causing melasma to worsen. Consistently apply sunscreen to protect your skin from damage.
