I think Yaz is ruining my skin. I've been on it for only a month and a half and it is wreaking havoc on my looks. Not only am I breaking out on it, but I have a small dark spot above my lip, which I think is melasma, and also just yesterday I noticed my whole face is dull and shadowed--I can't explain it that well, but if I look straight on in the mirror, even in bright light (I use those daylight light bulbs that make everything as bright as direct sunlight) I look like I have shadows on the sides of my face. I don't think it's melasma but I don't really know. It's not visible patches of darker colored skin, it's more like when you get dark bags under your eyes, except this is on my cheekbones. And way up on the side of my hairline beside both eyebrows I have not super dark but still visible bluish marks. I thought they were visible veins, but now I'm not sure.

So that's my problem. I have a fair complexion with some pink undertones which has now become a dull, lifeless complexion with a lot of gray undertones. Can anyone recommend a skin lightening product that will do a great job of fading darker spots and will even my skin tone WITHOUT causing acne?
