I bought cosmelan from ebay. They claimed it was the old formula and I guess it really was because I peeled A LOT! I heard that with the new cosmelan, you don't really peel. I got cosmelan because I have brown spots on my cheeks that I got from using Proactiv and not wearing sunscreen....

I had cosmelan done at my dermatologist's recommendation for some minor pigmentation about 8 years ago. Her nurse whispered to me before I left to leave it on longer for a better result. Well, I did, and I turned red and peeled like crazy for about a week (which I think is normal).

I'm 40yrs old, asian female, and have suffered from melasma for the past decade. I've tried just about everything... laser treatments, microdermabrasion, peels, hydroquinone, TriLuma, etc... Not one of these gave me more than a little improvement.
I figured I'd give Cosmel

Cosmelan: was it worth it?
Cosmelan Information
- Cosmelan is a face peeling mask commonly used in melasma treatment and removing facial pigmentation
- Cosmelan peels are meant to inhibit tyrosinase, an enzyme in the melanin formation process
- The manufacturer's recommended protocol for Cosmelan involves two in-office masks, one for the full face and then another "touch up" to address areas that still have pigmentation approximately 1 month after the first mask. In addition, there is a Cosmelan 2 follow up product that is to be used at home
- Cosmelan prices vary from approximately $500 - $1,000. Depending on whether the practitioner provides the second mask and the at home care product in the cost or not will affect the price
