Long-standing black spots on the cheeks along with rough, pigmented skin on the chin are most likely due to chronic pigmentation (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or melasma) along with some textural skin changes. Since it has been present for many years, it requires consistent and long-term treatment.
Helpful Tips / Word of Caution:
• Pigmentation takes time (weeks to months) to improve, so be patient
• Avoid sun exposure and always use sunscreen, even indoors if exposed to light
• Do not use multiple strong creams together without guidance
• Since it is long-standing, combination treatment under a dermatologist will give the best results.

16 yrs is a long time and obviously what you are doing isn't working.
Also since one has no clue about how this looked when it began, progress is difficult to ascertain objectively.
