Never Needed So Much Concealer!Help

Definitely on top of it. Not leaving my house Dr. Thank you!

How were your cosmelan results?? I've done it 4 times over the years. Twice were amazing and twice just fair. Hope you are thrilled with your results :-)

Im curious did you use the Cosmelan MD or the original formula of Cosmelan. I just did the Cosmelan MD total failure. I've done the original formula of Cosmelan and I saw dramatic results within a week. Cosmelan MD it's been two weeks and I've seen no improvement whatsoever. It just left dry, pink and itchy :(

Totally loving my results. I went with Dr.Minina and I only know it was a kit they opened. Cosmelan 1 Is what was put on me and I've been using Cosmelan 2 for maintenance. I have received a lot of compliments on my skin and my glow. I feel like I'm back to my old self. No complaints, no regrets.

Just updated

That I know of it should only be done by a professional who can obtain them. I'm sure there are many outlets online to purchase but I wouldn't play around when it comes to your face.

Thank you!!

Someone posted they purchased it directly from mesoestetic but they are in the skin industry. Not sure what that means.

Thank you for keeping up all the updates . Cosmelan was originated in Spain and Mesoestetics is a company who carries variety of products for aesthetic use and contract with licensed physicians or big certified retail companies . Cosmelan and Dermamelan peel as you mentioned have to be applied under physician supervision . And f course keep up with your cosmelan 2 maintenance cream to prevent spots from coming back :)

Relieved! Thank you

Your skin looks lovely! I just applied Cosmelan 1 seven days ago and now with C2 maintenance. Quick question: when you applied C2 the second/third time during the day, did you clean your skin first to remove the previous C2, hydra facial & sunblock, or did you just applied on top of it? Many thanks!

Washed and re applied. You'll start peeling and want to wash that skin off. Also, I only applied Aquaphor until Instarted peeling then started Factor K On peeling areas.
Be generous with Aquaphor.

Great, thanks. One final question: what would you say was the % of lightning of the melasma in the 1st week (with the C1 mask), and how much % came from the application of C2 in your 21 days? I noticed around 65-70% of improvement after the mask, but in the forehead only 50% (if that much), so wondering if it might come off in the follow-up mask application in week 4...

I would say the same % . As for the forehead I didn't have a lot so I'm feeling good about it. They mentioned that it may come out darker along the way but to not stop the Cosmelan 2 because it was just continuing to bring it out. As long as you're peeling there is work to be done and it takes 7months to reset the skin. Be consistent.

Thanks - yes, its a long road to beauty :)

I just re-read my post and it was poorly phrased... I was talking about my OWN melasma and the improvement on my forehead, not yours ;-)

I understood, no worries.

It's called Cosmelan 1
There is a maintenance after you use Cosmelan 2

Cosmelan Peel

Hi! is that normal? How
is your skin now? I have experienced the same thing with cosmelan. My skin is quite dry and tight and very red and burns and I’m cosmelan day 12 already. Is that normal? I’m scared i’ve burnt my face already with this

Don't forget to use Aquaphor generously during the time you are using Cosmelan C2. Don't peel any skin off or scratch. You will notice using Aquaphor as much as needed should calm all that down.

Use Aquaphor as much as needed.

Hi abichua. Sorry, I got no notification of your message.
Update to my situation. The itching got very intense, as I think the skin could not process that much cosmelan (2x day) plus sudden complete 'withdrawal' ie., not using the product at all.
I continued using cosmelan, but just a thin layer, plus hydra factor, and the itching subdued in a couple of days.
On another topic, which I didn't read anywhere.... in the first weeks / couple of months, the skin becomes very THIN and sensitive, and very prone to hurting, even with very mild touch or any force at all. The skin would come off my fingers if I tried to extract a pimple, of use a bit more pressure to wash the face. Also applying/removing the product........BE VERY CAREFUL to not hurt your skin.
My treatment is progressing really well. It's month 5, I apply cosmelan once or twice a day, it depends whether my face was sweating during the day and I feel it didnt stay enough, I then reapply in the evening.
The melasma has overall reduced by 80%, some places by 90%. The biggest, most solid patch is still a work in progress, but much, much better.
I havent had any acne for the past 3 months, which is incredible. The scars from acne (which I created early in the treatment by trying to pop them!), are slowly but surely being "smoothed out".
The luminosity and texture of my skin are completely different. I can now wear just a little make up / foundation and I'm ready.
Another 4 months to go and I'm confident it will get even better by the end of the treatment. Cosmelan is totally worth it.
