WORTH IT$200

I would like to share my own latest experience in regards to keeping my melasma under control. I am suffering from melasma almost 4 years and since than I made a lot of research and tried many different products. Here are my top findings:

1) Hidroquionone - very effective, works quickly but has limited period of usage. I tried Obagi Nu Derm ans results were pretty nice.. but the price was painful.. 2) Oxyresveratrol - Medik 8 White Balance Oxy - nice product, no irritation and the lighting effect was quite satisfying however it took couple of weeks to see some change 3) Retinol 1% + Vitamin C 15% - absolut winning combination!! I use them in conjunction every evening and after 2 months my skin is completely spotless!! I decided for Medik 8 10 TR retinol serum and Obagi Professional C 15% serum. By every day use the bottles might take 3-4 months. I was using these products during summer as well (of course with spf 50+ )and despite of the strong Italy sun I returned from vacation without any patches. And beside keeping my skin clear this combination brings a fantastic anti-aging effect to your skin.  Hope my review will inspire some of you guys.

GREAT INFO THANKS. Did you ever try Noreva/ Trio white XP
anti dark spot nite care. My lazer doc gave me this one for a blotched lazer I got from a Co2 lazer pigmentation...not nice...I hoped for Hydrochinone more than 4% but he said first Noreva and if that not works then H. 3% max...hmmm
