One Week on Porcelain Skin Whitening Serum

Don’t give up, thats all I can say!
Get a product, use it routinely, never skip SPF protection. You don’t have to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars which I know we all have who suffer from melasma. No matter what you find to reduce it it will always come back that’s why you need a routine to suppress it with SPF every day. I hope my story helps.
UPDATED FROM MelasmaHurts2c
I was tired of covering up my face, instead I wanted to fix the problem that was causing me to hide. A week ad three days out!

Where did you buy yours from?
I bought the Porelain on Amazon.... it still didn’t do the trick for me. I literally just did the Jessner peel today. My face is crazy looking rt now, but it’s supposed to be a deeper peel and will begin actually peeling in a few days... I’ll keep you posted on this!
Let me know how it works. I can say that the porcelain did work to help me jump start things and something different works for everyone. I’ve now maintained my skin with a prescription of hydroquinone 4%, and IT cosmetics foundation and concealer under my eyes. I have no melasma anymore. I can pick and choose if I want to wear makeup, but I always have to apply sunscreen. I hope everyone here finds a solution. Don’t give up, just find the way!
I’ve done 2 of the Vi peels you definitely do look crazy! I wish it lightened mine more though
@melasmaHurts2c where did you buy your porcelain from? I got it but my bottle says only use at night I’m wondering if yours was different. If so, I want that one haha
I bought it from Amazon from the actual supplier. I’m using Hydroquinone 4% cream now and it hasn’t come back yet. I use it once every morning. This however is a prescription.
Thank you!
The reason I was asking is because I have been using mine for 3 days and I’m not really that red wondering if it’s bad.
Does the bottle look like the one I posted.

One Week on Porcelain Skin Whitening Serum
Hey everyone. I've never written a review so bare with me. Please know that my reason for writing one is due to my results of a product I used. I like many of you have been looking for the miracle treatment. I've been suffering with melisma since 2009. That's 9 years. Over the years it has only gotten worse, and darker. I've spent so much money trying to find the cure. I've tried everything, even bought my own LED light therapy medical grade for $400. Didn't work. Well thank you to the person who posted about a $30 serum called Porcelain Skin Whitening Serum. I'll be sure to upload the picture of it. You need to know a few things before getting excited and getting it started. I am only one week into using the product and my face looks dramatically different meaning better. But before any of that happened I went through a hell of a lot of changes on my face. The first day I got my box on the front porch, I was so eager to hurry up and read the directions and lather it on. Little stingy chemical feel, but nothing serious. My face swelled it was absorbing all the serum I'm sure. I kept it on all through the night into the morning. Took a shower, did my normal routine, and my face started to peel off in the shower. Just a light peel but I had to rub the dead skin off with my bare hands because I was afraid a wash cloth would tear my face up. Well, I got out of the shower, and looked in the mirror and for sure there was no overnight miracle. My face looked a few shades lighter, but it was read, everywhere I would normally have hyperpigmentation. I had to go to work regardless of my face. So I plastered my face with aquaphor and scar bandages with a surgical mask. lol I know that sound awful but I work in a hospital and I didn't want to get an infection. That entire day my skin and face swelled on and off, was red, got redder under my chin where the serum stopped. Now I know the bottle says apply in the am and the pm. Do not do that at first. I think what happens is, your face goes through this traumatic stage and your "old" skin that's never been exposed to this combination of chemicals starts to die and shed. .........like a snake...... let it do it's process. Don't stop using the product. You will look awful, I will not lie, maybe take some vacation time to do this where you can hide. Explain to your family what you need to do so they don't look at you like some freak.... ok now that I'm sure I scared you. I skipped apply the serum, day 2. The reason is because I wasn't sure if I made a mistake or not using the serum because I hadn't yet known the outcome. Day three I resumed. Keep in mind, this whole time I've been lightly to moderately peeling. Oh and everything you use on your face everyday should hydrate. Don't use harsh soaps or anything. And go get a mask that you can peel off. I think they make like cucumber ones where you put it on and 15 minutes peel it off. I found that my peel mask helped me shed better so I wasn't scrubbing skin off making it worse. So back to day three, I put it on again. Don't go out in the sun, and everyday put SPF 50, 80 or 100 on your face. I use the baby cheap cream spf. No specific brand. If you need to go outside use a really big hat, sun glasses to cover your face. I know this all sounds dramatic but you have to remember where the skin peeled off, is new skin. Its like a little baby, and its the skin you've been waiting for so protect it! Day four I started applying day and night. My face was tolerating it very well. In fact I wore it day 5 and day 6 under makeup before work. Today is day 7. All I have going on is tiny tiny peeling in a few areas. But I won't stop using the product. It's been a week. See for yourself in the pictures. I'm no beauty in any of the pictures but I wanted to be as real as possible for those that are hopeless. Because I was there, and in fact I was even depressed, wouldn't look at anyone in the face. For some reason this year I started to develop a "mustache and beard" of hyperpigmentation. So thus the need to spend so much money try to find a cure or at least some help. Not concealer did the trick, forget all those youtubes I just dumped money on trying and failing to cover up a problem when I realized I needed to work on the actual problem harder. So I don't know what to say other than, its been a week for me, I'm totally satisfied with the product. I hope you find this review helpful, and if you didn't I'm truly sorry. Good luck on your journey.

Please post after 30 days and time out in the sun. I hope it doesn’t return as melasma is almost certain to. I know because I suffer with it too.
I wear It Cosmetics 50 spf foundation and have been wearing a summer hat when I’m outside for a period of time. The product stops melanin production. I don’t know to what percent though.
Wow you look amazing! I need to try this on a weekend where I can hibernate! Thanks for sharing. Where did you purchase this from???
I just bought it off amazon. Now I’m using another one of their products. I wasn’t using it for melasma, but I loved the whitening serum so much I thought I’d try another product- for the price I couldn’t complain. I just wanted an anti aging serum for my face but I’ve also been applying it to my neck. It has really improved the elasticity and my neck looks great. My neck wasn’t a goal, it just happened get the benefit also.
That’s awesome! Is there down time with the other products? Please share! :). I, like you, have spent thousands on lotions, potions, lasers, peels, you name it, I tried it. I’m now trying Taut Collagen which is vitamins, a 1.5 oz drink, and collagen masks. It’s only been a week but this is supposed to be great too. Who knows anymore. NOTHING has worked for my Melasma though. So, I ordered the porcelain product. I’m scared thigh, the fine time looks intense...
I meant I’m scared of the down time...
The other product has no down time. It’s just a serum. It’s called Porcelain “20% Vitamin C Serum” with VE, Matrixyl 3000, Argireline, ALA, DMAE, Hydalronic Acid. I
Don’t be scared. Be focused on the goal. That’s the only thing that motivated me.
Hi there again! So I bought the porcelain items you recommended. Im assuming that that you slept in the the whitening serum and didn’t wash your face. Is that recommended? I can’t seem to find instructions on his long to leave on. Since it’s a grey day and will be the next 2 days I was thinking to try tonight!
Sorry for all the typos I don’t know why it’s doing that!
I put it on at about 7pm and wore it throughout the night and until I took a shower in the morning. I used friction with my hand in the shower to rub off the dead skin from my face. You have to rub kinda hard until you feel the skin start to exfoliate. Don’t use a wash cloth though because that cold rub your skin raw at this stage.
Hello,
I also suffer from melasma and wanted to see if you had the chance to try the product? If so, how is it going?

I didn’t try it yet... I’m thinking to wait till the summer is over because I don’t have 3-4 days of potential ‘down’ time if it flakes or gets intense looking. I’m hopeful to do it soon though. I’ll keep you posted!
I’ll post an updated photo tonight without makeup. My face is still doing well. Only use it once a week now, I wear it under my makeup all day. And like I said before I wear “it cosmetic foundation 50spf” which has helped tremendously protect my face from it coming back. I hope you all do well if you do try it, and I always comment because I know how vulnerable this topic is and the support people need is important.
Hi there! I put the porcelain on last night and wore throughout the night. Did you put it on again the next day once a day??? Twice a day??? It says day & night use and I’m not sure if that will be too much. I’m not peeling yet. I just looked more tan this am.
I used it twice a day the next day then once a day next my makeup. The tan look you get is the skin that’s getting ready to peel off. The dead skin. When I don’t use it the sun does bring it back again. So I make sure I use it. I recently just got a prescription this week for hydroquinone 4% cream. I’m hoping using both will take it away even more.
Thank you! I’ll keep you posted. I’ve done hydroquinone too. You just need to make sure to take breaks from that, from time to time. Nothing has vanished mine completely. When I get back to Cali I may do the cool lazer. It’s the last hope! But hoping this porcelain does it
by the way looking good kiddo...
Hello Ladies, I was wondering if the Porcelain has continued working and if you can post new pictures. Thanks a lot!
I’ll try to remember before I head to bed after I take my makeup off. I still recommend the product!
I have photos but I can’t find an upload button
Hello, thanks so much for sharing your story and photos. Your skin looks amazing. :-) I was wondering--do you just put the porcelain on the areas darkened by melasma or the whole face? I just purchased some and I'm inspired by your story/photos but also afraid to try it... :-/
Bye I’m sorry I just seen your message. I apply it to my entire face.
I bought this product, been using it for 3 weeks now with no redness, no peeling & no changes to my melasma :-(
Don’t be discouraged! Not everyone responds to the same therapy. I know how devastating this can be and depressing and lack of self confidence. Have you tried hydroquinone before? It’s a prescription.
