Asked By:4xmother in Inglewood, CA

I have been using hydroquinone 8% pads on my face for melasma in which has given me positive results while on it. I give my face 30 day rest as suggested by doctors but in those 30 days it seems to come back almost to the same way I started. Is there anything that i can use in the 30 day rest period to maintain my face melasma free =( I am desperate! Thanks in advance
