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 Cosmelan a try and wasn't expecting much. Boy was I shocked when after only one week my melasma had improved at least 50%. It's only been one month since I started the treatment and I'm happy to say that my melasma is almost completely gone. If it never gets any lighter I will still be thrilled.
Everyone keeps asking me what I did because my skin looks so great. Pores are smaller and I don't break out anymore either.

BTW.. I use sunblock everyday and try to stay out of the sun altogether. I just don't think the #2 cream is all that effective at inhibiting pigmentation.
Great review?
@Violett What kind of peeling you use
i am also interested in doing the cosmelan. how did it turn out? if you are satisfied, please let me know where you have got it.
thanks
I will say that if you get the old cosmelan mask, don't occlude with plastic wrap. I read that people did that with the new cosmelan to increase its effectiveness so I tried it (I wasn't really sure if I actually got the old cosmelan or not, I thought maybe the seller just wanted to make a sale). It made the old cosmelan way too harsh! I was peeling very badly and my face was in pain. I didn't occlude when I did my spot treatment and I can already see that the peeling will be a lot less severe. Well at least now we know that the seller was telling the truth when they said they had the old cosmelan. I have some raw spots on my face. I hope I didn't do any damage!
