Retinol without mois: Flakiness and sensitive skin can actually be treated by use of a good antioxidant daily and believe it of not a short course of retionoic acid which will actually make it worse before it gets better. Do not treat with moisturizers they will only further inflame your skin.

Melasma: Melasma is an acquired hyperpigmentation of the skin that typically affects the sun-exposed areas of the face. It is most common in women with darker complexions and often begins during pregnancy. Daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 30+ is recommended. Creams like hydroquinone, tretinoin, and fluocinolone can be used for treatment. Alt: Chemical peels or laser and light-based therapies

See dermatologist: There are a large numbers of conditions that could account for discoloration of the face. I would need more specifics. If you are bothered by it, you should seek consultation with your primary physician or a dermatologist.
