Worked for my Melasma and Pigmentary Demarcation Lines!

I have recurrent melasma or pigmentary demarcation lines around my mouth; I have always felt disfigured. Over the years, I've spent hundreds on various creams. Some worked only for a little while. Triluma has worked for me multiple times, but the hyperpigmentation always came back with my period. And recently, it stopped working altogether. I wanted to find something without hydroquinone. I bought the Cosmelan pack online and applied for 10 hours according to my skin type. My skin peeled for 3 days and it's still red. But I can tell that my hyperpigmentation is gone! I am 7 days out and have been compliant with the Cosmelan regimen. I will update this post in the future and report whether my hyperpigmentation recurs or not.

2 months after Cosmelan - great results!

My melasma/pigmentary demarcation line (PDL) was gone and redness/peeling gone as well 1 month after Cosmelan. Usually, my hyperpigmentation recurs with my period or around after 1 month, but this time my results have been consistent over time, which I am very happy with. I am compliant with the continuous Cosmelan home care (at this point doing Cosmelan 2 & Melan Recovery morning and evening, and Mesoprotech morning and afternoon.) Extremely satisfied!

Hi, looks great! I also have the same thing around my mouth. Do you have any updates about how it's holiday up? Also what was your remover process / getting the peel? Also where did you get the peel from?

I added my 7 month update, see above. The process was similar to having a chemical peel done - I very much did not look decent for around 1.5 weeks; it looked like my skin was peeling off! Luckily, I wear a mask at work so no one noticed. It was not painful. Overall, it was very easy. I answered your other questions over DM.

The results are holding up really well! The disfiguring pigmentary lines around my mouth are pretty much gone. I haven't had any recurrences, even with my period, though I did get an IUD recently as well and have less periods. I walk around with any makeup. My hyperpigmentation has never been gone for this length of time! My life is changed!
I am still doing the maintenance routine - I use the Cosmelan sunscreen Mesoprotech twice a day, the Cosmelan 2 and Melan Recovery cream once at night. Still very much extremely satisfied with the melasma treatment, and would recommend this to anyone who has refractory melasma and can afford this.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! This sounds like a really promising treatment so far. I hope it provides you with long-term results.
