I have dark spots on my face. Appears to be pigmentation. I am using photostable sunscreen twice daily for 1 year. Retino a at night but scars won't subside. Rather they are becoming more prominent. Please advise. I am 50-year-old female.

Photostable will only prevent Sun damage but will not improve your pigmentation so you need to start a depigmenting cream while on the other hand Retino A might help little bit with scar as well as pigmentation but it's not the best option for either. Laser & microneedling would be a great option for scar treatment.
