  Sorry, results did not work for you. Mine did not have the hydroquinone it it because I was on it for 4 yrs and new dermatologist said it is not meant to be used long term as you can have reverse effect hyperpigmentation if on it to long, which happened to me. There for he put me in the non hydroquinone formula and I have cleared up about 90%. When I would get to red irratated I was told to skip cosmelan 2 until it calmed down, you do not want breaks in skin. You have to maintain for as ng as you have malasma or it will come back. It is a sacrafice willworth every penny for rmy results , I even gave up surfing. You may want to consider this formula. The maintaince part is less than if you paid for a facial one a month for a year. Again sorry for your pain.

  I had my cosmelan 1 done 4 monthes ago and it removed the lighter spots and lighten the darker spots. It's so light I do not have to wear makeup. Experienced spot s get darker if you are exposed to long in Sun. What I did to try to lighten the malasma again was use the cosmelan 2 on the spots 3 x a day for 2 days, casing a good peeling almost like in the beginning first weeks. then applied it lightly to whole face 2 a.Day for additional 2-3 days until it was nice and pink and almost new skin. Again. This makes pigment light again. I personally like placing it twice a day ..i like the pink glow I get on my checks. If face peels to much I just skip a treatment. For me findputting t cosmelan 2 on in morning with sunscreen that my pigments does not get darker,aybe this is because it is activly on and active while I am outside. I noticed when I did not wear it in am that spots would get darker. Wearing during day also encourages you to stay out of Sun because I often feel a warm tingling sensation when exposed to long in Sun. So, I wear mine twice a day heavier on spots. When it peels touch I go down to once a day 2-3 days. I am planning to do cosmelan 1 again for the residual spots that no body really seems to notices but me.,my cosmelan does not have hydroquinone because I was on it for 4 years and the new dermatologist that applied mask said it was not meant to be used long term. Besides it was notworking for me. I love cosmelan and will continue to usr it however long I have malasma. Heck I would probably always use it just because it makkes my skin beautiful like a baby. Cosmelan 2 maintains my spots well by doing the steps above. I find the cost of maintaince is less than getting a facial once a month. The skin cell turn over to reveal new skin is better than any of the over the counter products which does it much much slower. I used to be advid surfer and think that is how I got my malasma at 38 yrs old. I am 43 a little bit fatter but from what I have been told I look Early 30. (I do not believe them when they say mid 20s.) My doctor is Dr. Pilest orange county california

  I did mine in august with great results. Cosmelan 2 is suppose to be done 3 times a day as tolerated for 4 weeks. This was most important part cause it was the time spots got lighter. I hated the constant peeling but every time it does the more beautiful my skin was. The last couple spots of melasma is so light that I no longer wear foundation. , my skin glows. I wear eye makeup and lipstick only. A tinted spf is perfect for me. When I want to peel more I apply the cosmelan 2 twice a day. More I peel the better I look. If your Wearing heavy make or bare minerals peeling will be more noticeable.
