My dermatologist suggested I use Neutrogena Age-Shield Face SPF 110 every day on areas where I get Melasma. I used Tri-Luma for 3 months and the Melasma is gone. I have been using IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better™ CC+™ Cream with SPF 50+ and it has been great but want to make sure that I do all I can to ensure the dark spots on my cheeks do not come back. I have light olive skin tone (Mediterranean ancestry). Looking for alternatives as high SPF Neutrogena products give me a rash.
Answer: Best Sunscreens A sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 50 and with a physical blocker like Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide is highly recommended for Melasma.

Answer: Use Zinc Oxide and get Picosure laser treatment for your melasma The Picosure laser is the best laser for Melasma and hyperpigmentation. It fires 1,000 faster than any other laser. There is little to no downtime. Use a good sunblock between sessions. Stop any active agents 3 days before your session. Plan at least 3 sessions, with the Picosure laser, each spaced a month apart.david berman md

Answer: Sunscreens and melasma Sunscreens play a small but vital role in melasma management, if you are after a low irritant but high SPF sunscreen, look for Ti Dioxide or Zn Oxide. Apply 2-3 times a day, adjunctive hats, UV avoidance etc... are all essential. Melasma can not be completely cured, however effective treatment are possible. This is because your skin is extremely sensitive to UV and even the smallest amount can stimulate your pigment cells to produce colour. The mainstay of treatment is strict UV protection- hats, sunglasses and SPF every 4 hours.
