    Facial melasma
    Anyone know of a good crème that will remove melasma? Tri-luma works great but it comes back

    Try using creams/lotions containing kojic acid, arbutin.. And apply only to the pigmented area. Also use sunscreen to prevent it from coming back. The most popular cream at the moment is from Diana Stalder and Bio Claire. So you might want to try them out.
    For more information. Please read this post. :)

    Hi Hunny! I just might have the perfect solution for you, but let me give you a little advice first. Don't use any type of skin lightening products. They aren't actually lightening the skin, but slowing the production of melanin. If you stop using the cream, your skin might actually become darker than before you began to use the product in the first place. This is for any skin lightening product. I suggest you look into microdermabrasion! It's the safest thing out there I could find. Not only that, but its permanent. Microdermabrasion is a skin-freshening technique that helps repair facial skin that takes a beating from the sun and the effects of aging. The plastic surgeon uses a device like a fine sandblaster to spray tiny crystals across the face, mixing gentle abrasion with suction to remove the dead, outer layer of skin. As with other skin rejuvenation techniques, more than one treatment may be needed to reduce or remove fine wrinkles and unwanted pigmentation. I copied and pasted what microdermabrasion just to give you an idea about how it works. I suggest that you see a professional to have this done. This procedure may require more than one session depending on the condition of your skin. The doctor will discuss this with you upon a consultation. Different things work for different people, but THIS COULD BE THE SOLUTION FOR YOU! I'd give it a try and see what the doctors are able to do for you. It might just be worth it and possibly the best thing you could ever do.
