Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
Sun protection with a broad spectrum sunscreen is a must, throughout the day. A sunscreen with minimum SPF 30 would be good. You need to re-apply it every 2-3 hours for maximum efficacy
At night you could use a skin lightening cream containing one or more of the skin lightening ingredients like kojic acid, hydroquinone, glycolic acid, arbutin, liquorice, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate etc
You could also opt for chemical peeling sessions from a dermatologist. Chemical peels can be taken along with the topical treatment and together they can produce remarkable improvement.
