Hi Dr. Alexis, I suffer from hyperpigmentation on my cheeks and a small amount on my chin. I've tried Timeless Vit C, The ordinary's niacinamide and Paula's choice Azaleic Acid. Unfortunately, they didn't work for me. I have oily/combo skin, I break out easily and my acne leaves dark spots. What other OTC products do you suggest I try? Also, Dr. Dray mentioned a Korean skin brightening product called it's skin power 10 LI effector. What are your thoughts on it?

Hi Dr Stephens! I'm wondering if it's worth including vitamin A in my routine at 22. Can it help "prevent" signs of aging or does it only help to fight already existing fine lines? Thank you 🥰
