That's a great question. So - melanin production does decrease, but not enough to cause any noticeable change in skin tone. Instead, it's possible to see some lighter spots (decreased pigmentation). But not at the level that causes an overall lightening of the skin. Great question though. Stay tuned for more like this. Make sure to subscribe.
Melatonin is a hormone that's produced in the pineal gland in the brain. It's involved in regulating sleep, but it's also involved in other processes in the body. Things like helping out in the immune system, improving mood disorders, maintaining eye health and others. It's very different from melanin, which is a pigment produced by the melanocytes as I covered in this video. Great question though.
Great video!

Is there a chance that we will get fairer when we get older due to decreased melanin production?

Sleeping pills
Yeah, for sleeping, its a hormone. Produced naturally, but can get supplements in the form of pills.
