Please recommend some products for managing the age spots and melasma that suddenly appeared.

As I get older, the saying that flowers bloom on my face seems like a thing of the past. Every time I look in the mirror, I am so upset by the dark spots appearing around my eyes and cheeks that I can’t even sleep. I wish I had applied sunscreen properly when I was younger; I suppose it’s too late to regret it now. I’m afraid of side effects from laser treatment because my skin is thin, so I’d like to try managing it at home for now. Could you recommend some effective products for managing melasma? I’ve heard that products containing vitamins are good, but there are just so many different kinds.

I am curious to hear recommendations for melasma care products from those who have actually used them and experienced a noticeable fading of their blemishes. I know dramatic changes are difficult to achieve with cosmetics alone, but I would be happy even if my complexion just brightens a little with consistent use. It would be even better if the products have a smooth texture and a scent that isn't too strong. Lately, I feel like blemishes make me look older than wrinkles, and it is incredibly stressful. I look forward to your heartfelt recommendations in the comments. I hope we can all age gracefully together.
