My skin is OKAY but it can be better

This is my skin. It’s pretty good. I don’t really get spots etc if I do it’s caused by sugary foods. What can I do to maintain it and keep it looking good in the future ? Also how can I stop the chin hairs? My GP told me it was pcos and they were no help at all. How can I get rid of the ingrown chin hairs and dark marks

Hydrating skin
My skin hasn’t been absorbing in my skincare at night so I’ve started implementing my rice water and hydrating mist which has been helping

Dark neck lines
I’ve had this since a child. No idea how to get rid of it or at least lighten my neck. Some have told me it looks like dirt lol (it’s not)

Uneven skin
What product is best to have an even neck and face?

Main products I use :
Mandelic acid
Retinol
Nicinamide
Azelic acid
Sunscreen 50+ spf
tranexamic acid
Rice water
Vitamin E hydrating mist
B5 panthenol
Ceramides
Vitamin c eye gel
Salicylic acid cleanser

PIH after contact dermatitis

I had an allergic reaction (contact dermatitis) and once I got treated for it and it healed I developed PIH. I was described 4% hydroquinone that I’ve been using since June and it’s not working. I don’t know what to do. I would do anything to get my hands back. This is taking a toll on me emotionally and mentally. Somebody please, if you have a solution to how I can successfully get rid of the PIH, I would bless you.

Product recommendations?

I have large pores and small bumps all over my face. I've been drinking a lot of water, dieting and going to the gym 5 times a week. I usually wash my face with a dove skin bar.

Darkness around my mouth

I’ve had darker pigmentation around my mouth/lip corners for quite a while, and I’m trying to figure out what actually helps fade it.

The rest of my face is relatively even, but the area around my mouth looks noticeably darker, especially around the corners and above the upper lip.

For anyone who has dealt with this:

\\- What caused yours?

\\- What treatments actually worked?

\\- How long did it take to see a noticeable improvement?

\\- Is there anything I should avoid because it can make the pigmentation worse?

I’d especially appreciate experiences from people who had similar pigmentation and managed to improve it.I’ve had darker pigmentation around my mouth/lip corners for quite a while, and I’m trying to figure out what actually helps fade it.
