Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
Vitamin E and Vitamin C are safe and yes they play a role in decreasing pigmentation by decreasing melanin synthesis and by anti-oxidant action. You may take these tablets as per the doctor's advice. But these are adjuvant or add on treatments for melasma. Mainstay treatment will be sunscreens and topical lightening creams.
Hope this helped,
Take care.
