If it’s new soil, it could be because it’s staying wet for too long. I would just rub it around with your fingers to disperse it, then let the top 2” dry out before watering again.

Could also be fertilizer crusting up if you over fertilize.

Otherwise, if the plants are fine, it’s just a cosmetic issue and it’s your choice whether to do anything about it. Light-colored top dressings can make these deposits less visible to the naked eye.
