Treatment of melasma with Melaquin AM and Melaquin PM

I would recommend that you start the Melaquin AM and Melaquin PM program rather than longterm use of steroids as found in triluma.

Tri-Luma is Effective in People over 60

Tri-Luma is an effective treatment for melasma in patients of all ages. Although melasma can be a problem for patients of any age, it is often brought on by changes in hormones and thus is commonly seen during pregnancy. One of the components of Tri-Luma is Retin-A (the other components are the bleaching cream hydroquinone and the steroid flucinolone) and retinoids should not be used during pregnancy. Patient over 60, however, have no reason to avoid Tri-Luma.
