alex9179 A brief guide It depends on the reason. Our skin gets thin and loses collagen as we age, highlighting the blood vessels underneath. For that, fillers are used. Sun damage can also cause it. I use Timeless Vit C, E, Ferulic Acid every morning before applying my moisturizing sunscreen. Not only will a good formula reduce pigmentation over time, but it also protects against further UV damage. HF5OFF will bring the price down to ~$20. I keep mine in the fridge to help the potency last longer because Vit C isn't very stable. I'm really picky about what I'll re-order and have seen obvious brightening/fading of sun damage using it. Maelove also has a good formula but it's more expensive with a bit less Vit C concentration. A retinol product encourages exfoliation and collagen production. Here's a list of products listed by potency. http://www.skinacea.com/retinoids/types-of-retinoids.html#.W-LxSy2ZOT9 Hydroquinone is the go-to product to fade hyper-pigmentation but it's not for the eye area. It can also cause discoloration. Stopping its use after 4-5 months, and not re-introducing it for another 2-3 months, is recommended. I mention it in case there are other areas with pigmenta...
My father was an attorney and instilled in me a health respect for legal problems. He never hired an occasional laborer without checking on licensing and insurance. If they didn't have it he arranged for a small fee a rider on his policy. He also made me in the 90's get a million dollar umbrella policy and I never had a million worth of anything.. Imagine the amount one should have now. In my current condo the organization hired a company to fix some outside flood lights. They arrived without the appropriate ladder and the super gave him the condo's. Of course the ladder slipped and he fell. The laborer claims he hurt his shoulder, but didn't lose a single day of work. He sued the condo and the condo insurance settled for $75,000. The condo is now having a hell of a time finding insurance because of this black mark. Now no-one works in the condo with out proof of insurance and our condo specifically included. In short you are not being to careful. I would be leery of any company that had workers, but no insurance.
There was an even more interesting segment on NPR about how your phone apps track you and how data are being sold. They referred to a NYT story: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/10/technology/prevent-location-data-sharing.html
