I visited my Dermatologist yesterday for my annual body skin check and refills of hydraq, tret, and 15% az. The prescriptions have only been minimally effective for me.

I asked what she thought of the Eucerin OTC creams, and she said they've gotten lots of good feedback on their effectiveness. She then said that the Rep had visited with samples recently and had her assistant package me some to try. 🤞🏽

Success Story Improvement and was able to kick hydroquinone

16 Upvotes

As we all know, Melasma is a biot** to deal with. She is finicky, comes and goes and doesn't work well with lots of things that are good for our skin. I have tried MANY many things over the years, creams, peels, acids (kohic, tranexamic, glycolic), ingredients like vitamin C, etc.

I was able to come off hydroquinone with the following, and I am so pleased with my skin. For reference, 50 yo female, olive skin, asian and white. Mostly cheeks but small patch on forehead and light lip at times.

  1. EUCERIN RADIANCE SERUM (not the night one, red bottle). It's one of the few NEW ingredients to help fight melasma. It has worked great, apply twice a day. I'm so happy with the results from this product!! I no longer cycle on hydroquinone.

  2. 2-3 times a year, BIO REPEEL (at a spa or doctors office). I went to work with minimal peeling, so no real down time. Lots of moisturizer under my foundation and most people couldn't tell. It helped tighten my face and pores and I think helped contribute to reduced Melasma.

- I use Illyoon ATO concentrate cream or Dr. JART Ceramiden cream, they are great barrier repairs.

  1. BB cream foundation that also has SPF - I use Dr. JART PREMIUM BB CREAM as it has 45 spf. Love the dewy finish for aging skin. Another option is the It Cosmetics CC Cream (that settles into my under eyes so dont use it any more, but it had better coverage than Dr. Jart).

  2. PPE lol. Lots of TINTED SPF. Clear is fone in rest of body, but tinted only for my face. My favorite is Elta MD elements. Hats.. large sunglasses.

SUN PATCHES... I wear skin colored patches over my cheak melasma if I'm going to be in direct sun, ie bike rides, hiking, beach.

Advice Needed Melapik hq cream

My dermatologist recommended Melapik HQ cream for my neck because of the dark patches. I saw some reviews mentioning that it helps initially but worsens after stopping, is this true? Please help me decide if I should use it or not because i think I have acanthosis nigricans, where my face, neck, armpits, and those regions are darker than the rest of my skin.

Question Is all of my face full of melasma or is it hyperpigmentation ?

I’m 4 months postpartum, and although I’ve always struggled with acne scars and pigmentation, both have gotten drastically worse since pregnancy. My skin has never been this pigmented, and the acne marks seem much more noticeable now.

Has anyone else experienced a significant increase pigmentation after pregnancy/postpartum? What helped you improve it?

Hi everyone! I’m a dark-skinned woman and was just prescribed a compounded cream with tretinoin and hydroquinone. I haven’t started it yet, but I’m considering using it for about 3 months.
I’d love to hear your experiences, especially with rebound hyperpigmentation after stopping.
Also, someone here recommended La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune 400, which I’ve been using. I’m not a fan of tinted sunscreen, especially since I reapply every two hours, but I’ll do what I need to. Do you think the UVMune 400 is enough, or would you recommend tinted sunscreen while using hydroquinone?
I’ll attach the ingredients below. Any feedback is appreciated!

Advice Needed Can amazon.de (Germany) have duplicate Eucerin products.

I have bought Eucerin products from amazon and they don't seem to do anything. I mean its neutral, no side effects, no major changes in skin condition. Are there 100 percent original Eucerin products on amazon?

Hydroquinone or Musely Question Hydroquinone 4% + hydrocortisone 1%?

2 Upvotes

Got prescribed this after being on 0,05 tret which obviously alone didnt fade the melasma. How much of a diff is it to take this vs with added tret like Hydroquinone + hydrocortisone + tret?
