Melasma responds best for peels. If glycolic didn't work, you should have looked for other options like phenol peels. Kindly do not try these peels at home. They may lead facial burns and disfigurement. Maintainance is important in melasma, otherwise it comes back. If you share a picture of scar, treatment can be told.
